ABOUt WHUISA
Who we are
WHUISA brings together supporters of West Ham United.
We are run by fans for fans.
We believe the backing of all West Ham supporters is critical to the success of our team.
We give the fans’ point of view to our club’s owners and managers so that all West Ham supporters have the best football experience possible.
We want to boost the playing performance of the team by ensuring there is a good atmosphere that fans enjoy match days and other club activities.
We also represent West Ham supporters on the local, national and international stage.

What we do
Delivering benefits in the interests of our members, match going fans and the wider fanbase.
Supporting the interests of our international supporters.
Consulting our members and the wider fanbase via surveys and feedback.
Building sustained, meaningful dialogue with the club in order to have impact for members and wider supporter base.
Provide advice, information and support to fans who experience a match-going issue whether home or away.
Provide regular news, information and advice through our website, social media and newsletter.
Representing fans at local level (police; councils; MPs; Transport for London), national level (the FA; Premier League and English Football League; Department for Culture, Media and Sport; Football Supporters’ Association; in the media) and international level (UEFA; Fifa). Working collaboratively with national supporter groups, supporter trusts and other fan groups on relevant supporter issues.
Establishing links with the Newham Council’s Safety Advisory Group and any other relevant committees and organisations, and contributing to key issues.
It is with the utmost regret and shame that WHUISA saw reports of the footage of West Ham supporters singing a song containing anti-Semitic language directed at a Jewish passenger on a plane.
We are pleased that the Club have responded swiftly to this and that they are in contact with the airline and relevant authorities to identify the individuals concerned. We know that West Ham have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.
This morning WHUISA Chair Sue Watson was interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme to discuss the potential investment into the Club by Daniel Kretinsky

Fan representatives from six Premier League clubs including WHUISA attended a recent meeting with the Premier League. Topics discussed included a range of issues which impact match-going fans – including the return to grounds, Fan-Led Review of Football Governance and the impact of TV picks on match-goers.
The Club have updated the Fan Feedback section of their website with an article about improvements to stewarding.
Many of these initiatives were suggested as part of our Structured Dialogue meeting with the Club in July:
On behalf of the Independent Supporters’ Committee (ISC) , we had a Q&A with Andy Sheldon ahead of tonight’s match. Andy is the Metropolitan Police's dedicated football officer for West Ham.
WHUISA participated in this online meeting hosted by the FSA along with representatives from the other Premier League supporters' organisations. This was a follow-up to the previous week's briefing with the Premier League that we attended to discuss the return of fans.
WHUISA is a member of Football Supporters Europe and today we received the following email from them, asking our members who travelled to Zagreb if they could complete their Away Fans Survey.
