‘West Ham didn’t want us there’
Ex-Hammer reveals women’s treatment at east London club
A FORMER West Ham Ladies player lifted the lid yesterday on the terrible conditions the women’s team are forced to play and train under.
The player spoke out after team chair Stephen Hunt accused the club of sex discrimination, with claims that the team are being forced to play in last season’s kit due to a severe lack of funding, which has also meant they can not afford a team bus for away games.
The club denied the claims and said they will be looking to “maintain the current West Ham United Ladies FC squad personnel where possible, and provide them with the best possible support and management moving forward.”
