Former Coventry striker Noel Whelan says the move could give West Ham an edge over rivals in the relegation battle when the Premier League resumes.
Noel Whelan said “When you are playing on your own turf you get used to the size of the pitch and the environment, I would not be surprised if a few teams do that. It is a good way to get used to playing in the stadium without fans. They have only got a short amount of time so it is a very clever idea from Moyes to do that.”
