Sullivan attends West Ham cup tie despite advice to stay away

David Sullivan attended West Ham United's Carabao Cup tie against Portsmouth, according to BBC Sport, despite having been advised to stay away from the match.

The report gives no further detail on the nature of that advice. Sullivan is the former co-chairman of West Ham, a role he held for many years before eventually leaving the position.

His presence at the game nevertheless drew attention, as it came against the recommendation that he not be there. West Ham were hosting Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup at the time.
