It seems West Ham supporters have deeper pockets than Arsenal fans.
At the DVLA Auction in Bishop's Stortford this week WE57 HAM was sold for an amazing £57,000. This beats the highest price previously paid for a football club registration which was £36,000 for AR53 NAL in 2004.

Damian Lawson, Marketing Manager for Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency Personalised Registrations commented, "The atmosphere in the auction room was electric - it was like a cup final. The fans bidding showed the same passion they do on the terraces and we could only watch as the price kept on rising and rising".
The winning bidders identity is a mystery, as he or she placed their bid anonymously via the internet. If the winning bidder would like to contact us, we at Simply Registrations would love to know the story behind the purchase of this fantastic personal number plate.
