I heard or read it was Monday.
I also heard the two likely choices are either Spurs Win or it stays as a reduced capacity stadium, currently around 70:30 in our favor.
Also that West Hams bid was seen as too week based around their current financial state.
Also that West Ham could well get relegated, which would be disastrous.
Think the OPLC nominate their peferred bidder next week, the final decision will be made by Boris &co sometime towards the end of March. Expect the loser to make a legal challenge, could be protracted.have they brought it forward? remember people saying about the end of the financial year. Hope its next week though

Boris is a yid:razz:
Agree.I suspect the reason for the delay was threefold. One, it's actually quite a complicated thing to do and the initially gave themselves little time to do it. Two, they wanted to delay the decision and take the heat out of the argument because there will be a lot of bitter people whoever wins. Three, they want to make sure their decision is watertight and their justification is rhobust enough to stand up to any legal challenges which may ensure.
I would be shocked if the decision of the OLPC got overturned.
I really doubt West Ham will go down, they seem to have goals in them (infact game by game they look more likely to score than we do) which is what you want when your in a relegation battle.
The other teams around them don't look as potent in an attacking sense, and I know if my team was in a scrap for survival I Would rather be the one who scores the most even if they have not been getting the results over the course of the season.
Have heard they are heavily discounting at the moment to try and fill the Boleyn.This practically ties in with West Ham's financial position and future position, can they really fill a 60k stadium?
I don't think so.
I don't think anyone has published an official date but newspapers have continually said the week of Feb 7th or the end of that week.

I didn't say it was North London, I said it was East London not the East end, there is a difference and if you don't know the difference then you don't know any difference between North and East and that was my point.More or less all the postcodes there begin with E, so Newham is part of East London. Its not North London.
You're quite right it's further east than the East End, I suppose the East East End. :razz:

Last time I looked we were 15th in the world in terms of sales revenue and that was before we got CL football. I would guess that for 2010-11 we will move up to about 12 th. That does not back up the statements constantly made that we cannot compete. If we cannot compete it will not be because our stadium only holds 36000 . After all Chelsea holds only 42000 and Liverpool 45000 . I will be interested to see the gap between Liverpool and ourselves for this season.
The reason we cannot compete is that our Chairman was too incompetent to bring in the players we needed.to keep the club moving forward. So if we climb up to 12th in the world this year in our tiny little stadium we will now slip back again with CL unlikely without those players.
I would rather we were 12 th in the world in sales revenue or even 15th which is hardly a disaster than move to east London. Levy is a master at hiding his own shortcomings. Previously it was because we had incompetent coaches or directors of football. Now it is because our stadium is too small.anything to avoid facing the truth - that our failure to get into the CL next season has nothing to do with the size of our stadium.
That have lots of incentives at the moment, discounting ticket for people at the minute and offering very cheap deals for kids. It's angered a few of the season ticket holders as there are people in equivalent seats who have paid significantly less. Its also meant there is a larger proportion of people who wouldn't consider going if it wasn't really cheap.
If they're having to do this to fill their current ground they'd surely have to do it even more in the OS. This is what frightens leyton orient, the prospect of whams cheap seats pulling people away from them.
Wonder how much the tickets will be in the seats furthest awayfrom the pitch, or do you get free bino's.The crazy thing is, once they move to the OS who the hell is going to bother buying a season ticket?
Why would you bother when you know you can get into every game anyway?
Especially when you know that they'l in all probability have to drop prices to fill the ground?
The only reason you might want a season ticket is to keep your seat, but seeing as they're all going to be equally shit in the OS anyway, that's hardly an incentive.
But if everyone sits somewhere different each week the atmosphere's going to be even shitter.
I almost want West Ham to win it just so UK athletics and all the thicko bleating politicians can see how stupid they are.
I'd also like to see Levy sue their arses off when they decide after five years that they'l have to rip the running track out after all.
The OLPC won't be able to do anything about it because it will be that or let the club go bus and get nothing. And UK Athletics will be left without a stadium in the OP or even in Crystal Palace. It would serve the short-sighted fuckers right!
