We flew Stateside to Philadelphia with Hammers legend Carlton Cole for Premier League Mornings Live in October. We had an incredible trip and loved meeting our fans out there.
On the trip we visited Philadelphia Union to meet the team and have a tour of their training group and stadium. We look forward to supporting the team as they look to continue their recent success!
Carlton also visited Alexander K McClure Elementary School as part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme, designed to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills through the appeal of the Premier League and professional footballers. Carlton was joined by West Ham United Foundation's Madison Hooper, as well as fellow ex-player Ben Foster and Philadelphia's sports team mascots.
In addition, an intimate fan event on the Friday evening took place at Stos Bar in the city centre. where 70 fans joined us for a West Ham themed quiz, before over the weekend, Carlton and the wider West Ham team hit up the Premier League Mornings Live to meet and greet with fans and paint the fan festival Claret and Blue. On the Sunday of the event, we met with hundreds of West Ham fans to watch the Southampton game together.
