West Ham's new stadium

[rigsby]

Yup went to that one.:thumbsup:

Royce was MOM. Did you go to the league cup games in the early eighties? Can anyone name the player (without cheating) who scored a hat-trick against us in the replay at Upton Park.

So a bunch of thick spammers have attacked United's coach delaying the KO by 45 minutes.
Jesus, what a bunch of utter ***** support that club.

 

[Ricey]

Classy bunch!

How funny that Wet Spam's first game at their new freebie stadium could be played behind closed doors?

Yes to the first question.No to the second.

(edit.Though I suspect it might have been Billy Lansdowne.) :winking:

Sullivan's comments were unbelievable - basically because Man Utd arrived late they asked for it.

Fair enough, I must be very careful next time I'm late for work in case I get pelted with glassware by the admissions department.

Yep that should be the punishment. Just let the away fans in.

Best thing was they weren't even late, they arrived at the ground 10 minutes early and were kept in a police cordon due to overcrowding.

 

[EastStandBlue]

That's really odd. What on earth were West Ham doing donating directly to the Conservative Party?

Oh yeah, right, the £600 million stadium.

In case some of you haven't seen in it in the media, West Ham's new Olympic Stadium could be re-branded to the "TESCO STADIUM" as they have bid for the naming rights.

Ooooh please please please... make this happen!... the jokes would be endless! :hilarious:

"Every little helps!", only it's more than a little.

Don't they get a cut of any naming rights? For a stadium they contributed a mere fraction of the costs towards?

It's a joke alright, but not of the funny variety.

 

[mattitouk]

Yes, they would receive a cut of it..

"For West Ham's east London venue, it has been revealed the first £4m each year of any naming rights deal will go to the LLDC and Newham borough, with anything above that between the two bodies and West Ham, although the amount is capped.
As an example, in a hypothetical 10-year naming deal worth £50m, the LLDC would get £45m with West Ham receiving £5m."

City AM now claim that clauses in the deal mean that West Ham could sell the stadium today and make a £31 million profit to keep for themselves. Such a joke.

Enjoying the absolute mess that this has been so far. Fans miles from the pitch, fighting among themselves (not sure why, but I mean, they're ********s, aren't they), dreadful atmosphere, out of Europe to a team struggling in the Romanian top division. #europeanadventure :smile:

How can they sell a stadium they don't own?

I think they mean that they can sell the tenancy rights. Quite how that is allowed or would work I have no idea.
