West Ham United banned a season-ticket holder after he held up an anti-board banner at a home match.
Joshua Wood received a five-game ban for displaying a banner deemed larger than permitted rules.
The banner called on owners David Sullivan and Karren Brady to sell the club.
The club cited stadium safety regulations, not the banner’s message, in its decision.
Wood said he did not bring the banner into the ground and plans to appeal.
