"The mood, involving supporters up and down the country, is one that hasn't been seen since the Super League blew up... this is the most significant thing to happen to football fans since rave culture."
"Payne is the chair of Hammers United and sits on West Ham's fan advisory board... he has been instrumental in bringing supporters together to push back against cuts in concessionary pricing."
