00:00A leading West Ham supporter group has announced it will call off planned protests ahead of the club's crucial final
00:07day clash with Leeds United.
00:09With the Premier League relegation battle set to go down to the wire, the Hammers still have a chance of
00:15survival and tensions are high around the London Stadium.
00:20West Ham, no victory against Leeds on Sunday, combined with Everton losing to Tottenham, would secure their Premier League status.
00:27Spurs had the opportunity to relegate the Hammers in the week, but their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea kept West
00:35Ham alive, heading into the final round of fixtures.
00:42Previously, supporters had been preparing for a major demonstration against the ownership following a disappointing season that appeared destined to
00:51end in relegation after defeat at Newcastle.
00:55However, recent results have reignited belief among certain fans of West Ham.
01:01Paul Bubbles Colborne, chair of Hammers United, confirmed the decision had reluctantly been made after listening to pleas from supporters
01:10who just want to focus on the final game of the season
01:15and remain entirely on backing the team in what could be the biggest match of the campaign.
01:22Protests will inevitably go ahead if West Ham are relegated from the Premier League.
