Yep, point being though Matt, is the fella up above is claiming it's wrong for the fans.
But really it's just the ones he knows and himself - personally I couldn't give a flying fuck where we play, as long as we are successful.

Fair enough.
Safe to say that if we can't even agree amongst ourselves on something like whether Gomes is shit or not, there's no way in hell we'll all agree on whether moving to Stratford is right ot wrong, so anyone on either side of the debate saying things like "it is right / wrong for the fans" is on shaky ground.
1) He said 90%.
2) And yes I can - because if you decipher all the bullshit, you'll see it's all a money-grabbing exercise by various Athletics' associations. And fair enough to them, they can get their share. But don't be mistaken by their claim that retaining a running track is all about the "legacy" of British sport - a stadium not maketh a legacy. Sorry. That's just plain common sense pal.
If West Ham get it the Athletics track will be gone in 5 years. Guaranteed.
Most season ticket holders I know are against it.

The OPLC may tie them into a contract which stops that happeneing
Any 'planned' overspend comes out of the contingency budget. A properly managed project should cost exactly what it's predicted to cost within the agreed variation. On a small project you might have it as 5%, 10% is more usual going as high as 15% if you've got a lot of unknowns.
I suspect the reason the NDP became less viable when Stratford arrived was most likely on account of our failure thus far to find a corporate partner for the project. Note the still ambiguous 'Naming Rights'. I would guess that corporate partners are unwilling to invest in a project so far from central London with such poor transport links. Which was clearly the opposite of what happened with Stratford as AEG were in there right away. You also have to remember that interest rates are set to rise over the next few years and that increases the burden of debt. You'll want to watch your mortgage rates too by the way.
Oh, and I'm 29.

I'm sure that I read that there is a £100m penalty if they remove the track, but at what point that expires I'm not sure...
Lets not forget many fans travel the length ot the country to watch their beloved Tottenham Hotspur. I for one would not mind moving to Stratford simply for the ease of access issue. Im sick of travelling 350 miles or (700 mile round journey) and then getting stuck in traffic for 2 hours. I would watch Tottenham if they played in Timbuktoo, and to me they would always be known as the world famous Tottenham Hotspur.
