I'm sure there are usually spaces in the disabled sections that I can see from my seats- those being the sections in the very north end of the East stand (where the Rib man usually watches from) and the East end of the Bobby Moore stand.
Don;t know if that helps?
I'll be sure to have a close look on saturday

"Can you give us an assurance that disabled fans will not be moved around from one part of the stadium to another"

I'm due a knee operation today, I asked the club a couple of weeks ago for a seat in the disabled area but was told no everything had been allocated. I now find out they must have had room if they are moving people about to close off an area.

My only surprise is they haven't moved the whole of the section closer to them to actually add to the barrier, that will already be provided by police and extra stewards.

Someone on KUMB says he is a disabled supporter who has been told he has to move.

How low can they stoop, hope this is not true
However it could be the following taken out of context:
West Ham will erect a security barrier near the directors’ box at the London Stadium for Saturday’s visit of Southampton to prevent a repeat of the crowd trouble which marred their last match.
Almost 20 supporters have now been issued with lifetime bans following the shameful scenes during the 3-0 defeat by Burnley on March 10.
Five fans invaded the pitch while hundreds more gathered on the concourse below the executive seats to protest against David Sullivan and David Gold.
The joint-owners were eventually forced to leave their seats for their own safety, with Sullivan being struck by a coin.
Press Association Sport understands Sullivan and Gold intend to be at the match, a crucial one in West Ham’s battle against relegation, and the barrier will stop supporters getting too close to the directors’ box.
One fan has complained that he has been moved from his seat in the disabled section to make way for the barrier, but West Ham have explained that is only a possibility and even then the temporary measure would affect only three wheelchair seats.
Extra police and stewarding will also be in place, with West Ham insisting the safety of supporters is of paramount importance.
Captain Mark Noble has pleaded with fans to behave after the events in the stands clearly affected the players on the pitch.
A further protest has been planned outside the ground before kick-off, but Noble has urged the fans to get behind the team during the match or face the prospect of dropping into the Championship.
Writing on the club’s website, long-serving midfielder Noble said: “Our last home game against Burnley was one of my toughest days in nearly 20 years at West Ham, and I never want to see scenes like that again. None of us do.
“I desperately want us to do well and for everyone to be happy, players and fans, but that day was one which none of us can look back on with any pride.
“We need everyone to be together and to be behind the team, because positive vibes really do inspire the players on the pitch.
“On the flip side, negativity can undoubtedly affect players’ concentration and confidence, as I believe it did in the second half against Burnley.
“I can understand the frustrations some of you are feeling. This season has not gone how we’d all hoped it would, but I would ask you to channel your passion to get behind the team, help us get through the season with our Premier League status intact, and we can sit down and reassess things in the summer.”
West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady had a 45-minute meeting with London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Monday as both parties try to ensure there are no more disturbances.

Never mind blowing bubbles, Sullivan would have had him centre midfield in a shot.

Given that they had no hesitation about using Isla as a bargaining chip, the only surprise is that they took so long to doing this.

If this is true then it needs to be picked up by the media, that is one of the lowest things I have ever heard. I have a disabled daughter and if she came to the ground with me and they did this I would point blank refuse to be moved, fucking low life cunts.
