West Ham United banned season-ticket holder Joshua Wood for five matches after he helped hold an anti-board banner.
The club cited a breach of stadium rules, saying the banner exceeded permitted size limits.
The letter made no reference to the banner’s message calling on owners to sell.
Wood said he did not bring the banner into the ground and merely lifted it from under his seat.
He claimed other fans asked him to help display it during protests against David Sullivan and Karren Brady.
West Ham said the banner posed safety risks and denied targeting protest.
Wood plans to appeal the ban.
