West Ham United could attempt to persuade the authorities to allow them to increase the capacity of the London Stadium after announcing the sale of a maximum 52,000 season tickets, according to a report in The Times.
Their are still six weeks remaining until the start of the new Premier League season but the Hammers have sold out all of their season tickets and will be backed by one of the largest home crowds in the English top-flight.
They are going into their second season at the new stadium, where they have encountered several problems over the past year. There were issues with crowd violence and stewarding but the club have still managed to sell out all their season tickets.
The club have also reported that there is a massive 45,000 people on the waiting list for a season ticket, which is why the club may consider extending their stadium to accommodate for more fans.
The maximum capacity of the stadium is 66,000 but due to licensing regulations, only 57,000 are allowed to be used on a match day but West Ham are considering asking for that number to be increased.
