The way it sounds doesnt it? Surely the profit from Upton has to go straight to the taxpayers for the improvements otherwise its £2m a year and massive cash boost. Makes a mockery of all other clubs outside the top 4 trying to compete really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Richard Caborn says from what he knows that WHU will be able to keep all profits from selling Upton Park and fund their squad with it should they wish. Other than the £15m fee and £2m rent they pay nothing at all. WHU getting a huge advantage over all us clubs forced to build/fund stadiums and run as a business while trampling all over Orient leaves a sour taste to me.

Exactly, obviously designing a stadium with a duel purpose in the first place would have helped but this idea to throw our money at WHU is mental. Hope Hearn wins his battle but sadly he wont.

Another shambles when yet another club gets a stadium built for them at the expense of the tax payer, yet when we want to make an extension to ours we have to jump through the hoops to do it.

Stifler Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 £60m. £2m per year. 99 year lease, so thats £258m in total. So West Ham will have earned that money within about 3 seasons of Premiership football. Meanwhile Liverpool's redeveloped Anfield is going to cost them something like £600m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 but hey they won the world cup so why not give it to them rather than they pay every single penny it took to build it and convert it like any normal club would when moving ground and all they really need to compete with the likes of Barcelona is a big stadium rather than intelligent management scouting and much bigger commercial revenue streams and I'm sure the likes of Messi will be queuing up to join West Ham solely because they're playing in the Olympic Stadium...................

Mick Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hammers secure Olympic Stadium West Ham have confirmed that they have secured a 99-year deal to move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, meaning they will be playing home matches there from the 2016-17 season. West Ham United have secured a 99-year deal to move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, it has been confirmed. Speaking at a press conference in the Olympic Park, the London Mayor Boris Johnson said it meant the venue would now "be the home of a great London football club". The Hammers will move into the East London stadium, the centrepiece of the 2012 Games, from 2016 after conversion work costing up to £190 million has been carried out to make it suitable, and will pay £2 million a year in rent. The move was finalised after West Ham said they would increase their contribution to the funding of the project by £5 million, bringing it up to £15 million. The Treasury will put in around £60 million and West Ham will be "key tenants", meaning they are the most regular users of a facility that will also host events including athletics and live music. Major work to the stadium will see retractable seating installed, meaning it can be switched back to being suitable for athletics, and the roof extended. It will have a football capacity of 60,000. Johnson said: "This was the deal they said could never be done. I am very pleased to announce that this fantastic stadium will not only host community sport, rock concerts and athletics - it will also be the home of a great London football club. "After a massive negotiation that went well into extra time, I want to pay tribute to both teams for a deal that is great for West Ham United, for London and for football." In a joint statement, Hammers co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold said: "It's fantastic for everyone at West Ham United that, at last, all the club's hard work over the past three years has paid off. "Since we came to West Ham in 2010, we have had a vision to really take the club forward so we can compete on the pitch at the highest level. "Today's decision offers us a real platform to do this, and we are fully committed to making it a real success. "We understand the responsibilities that come with calling the nation's iconic Olympic Stadium our new home. It is an honour we will take on with pride.'' Vice-chairman Karren Brady said the club was looking forward to working with fans to "create a stunning new home that befits the pride, passion and tradition that the world associates with West Ham United". The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) named West Ham as preferred bidders three months ago, but issues surrounding the funding of work to the stadium meant their move there was not a certainty. As part of the agreement, Sullivan and Gold will pay a one-off windfall back to the LLDC if they sell the club - which will increase in value with the Olympic Stadium move - within the next ten years. Earlier this month, Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn demanded a judicial review of the Olympic Stadium bid process, saying it denied his club the chance to make an effective case. Hearn wants League One side Orient to share the venue, and the Brisbane Road chief has begun legal measures to have the decision to allow the Hammers to move in thrown out. He said he believed the LLDC bidding process did not provide "for teaming, which is for all parties to share the stadium". The stadium switch will see West Ham leave Upton Park, where they have played since 1904 and which is around three miles from the Olympic site in Stratford. That is disgusting, people are losing benefits and the tories are going to spend £60 million on a white elephant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
