West Ham 'face prospect of playing at London Stadium with retracted stands and athletics track' if rescheduled Premier League fixtures clash with Anniversary Games in July

West Ham United 'face the prospect of playing in front of retracted stands and an athletics track' if the extended Premier League season clashes with the Anniversary Games.

The two-day athletics event is set to be held at the London Stadium on July 4 and 5, meaning Hammers fans could be further from the action than usual if they play at home around that time.

It's likely that the football season will be extended deep into the summer as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic with Premier League fixtures potentially rescheduled for June and July.
