I’m a fan, no-one has asked me. I don’t think my face would give anyone a boost however.

Do you think showing fans' faces via Zoom on the big screens at the London Stadium is a good idea?No, seems a waste of time
Yes, would be a great idea

The Daily Star went on to state that the idea arose after the club rejected having cardboard cutouts of fans at games and the Zoom idea was thought up to provide some atmosphere.
However, when the report was shared to social media (via @whufc_news), supporters continued airing their disapproval of the supposed plan.
How sad

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from West Ham supporters, they seem to be almost wholeheartedly against the idea of showing fans’ faces via Zoom on the big screens.
However, while it has not yet been officially confirmed that football will return behind closed doors (via Sky Sports), it does not seem something worth worrying about for supporters just yet.
