And as a gesture of goodwill the club handed out free beers to travelling fans collecting their tickets.

Several West Ham supporters were impressed with the generosity on show from Silkeborg - with some calling on the East London club to return the favour when the Danes visit in October.

However, not everyone was won over by the idea of free booze with some jokingly pointing out that it was Carlsberg on offer.

One fan said: "Class from the Danish."

Another added: "I wouldn't get too excited, its only Carlsberg."

And a third said: "It would be amazing if we could do something in the return game for their fans @WestHamHelp."

Some fans also visited a bar owned by former Silkeborg and Bolton player Henrik Pedersen, who helped the Trotters escape relegation from the Premier League in 2003 at the expense of West Ham.

Silkeborg followed the example set by their fellow Danes Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday.
