West Ham fans can watch their team play Manchester City in a cinema just 500 METRES (a 12 minute walk!) from the London stadium on Saturday in a move branded 'utter nonsense' by the Football Foundation

West Ham's clash with Manchester City this weekend can be watched by fans from a cinema just a short walking distance from the empty London Stadium.

Saturday's Premier League tie will be screened in the Westfield Stratford shopping centre, just 12 minutes' walk away from the stadium, as fans continue to be kept away from football grounds this season.

The cinema will be able to admit more than 100 fans to view the game, with tickets priced at £6.99 each for the screening. Singing and chanting is banned inside the cinema while spectators must wear a face mask if they are not eating or drinking.
