West Ham United banned season-ticket holder Joshua Wood for five matches after he helped hold an anti-board banner.
The banner read “Time 2 Sell – Name Your Price” and appeared during the Sunderland match.
The club said the punishment related to banner size, not its message.
Regulations ban banners larger than 2m by 1m without prior approval.
Wood said he did not bring the banner into the stadium and plans to appeal.
West Ham said the banner posed safety risks and denied suppressing fan protest.
