Ambitious plans by West Ham United to draw up a historic 'London Charter' have been scrapped.
Sportsmail understands that the Hammers, following a series of crowd disorder incidents at matches in the capital, wanted each top flight London club to sign a peace pact aimed at bringing in a groundbreaking cohesive approach to crowd trouble.
Under the proposals, anyone found to be misbehaving at one London venue would have been banned from all of the capital's top flight grounds, regardless of where their offence took place.
The Hammers say that the plans have been ditched after the Premier League subsequently decided last month to bring in a groundwide ban across the league for supporters who have been banned from one stadium for violent or abusive behaviour, following a flare attack on the home of Manchester United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward.
