Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[riggi]

This popped up on twitter, from KUMB. Apparently the club is asking for more information on where this neanderthal sits so they can take action. Good to know though that the typical WHU fan is still alive and well.

More people need to do this. It has to come from fellow fans.

Just have a look at this thread:

Some great advice here from one of their knuckle draggers:

I am not saying you should move seats but if you ain't gone move seats and you still have a problem then it leaves you with a few options confront him or speak to steward.
I couldn't care because I'd handle it a lot better than how you have.
GROW UP stop telling tales like a kid and stop going on like a woman

Pricks.

Tbf the majority were outraged at the racism and threatening behaviour.
Tarring them all with the same brush is a bit unfair and hypocrytical.

Hopefully it will be sorted and the bloke will never get to watch a game live again.

TBF you're only getting the opinion of the few that can read and write!

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham supporters amongst London fan coalition challenging West Ham’s Olympic Stadium move

Fans of eight London football clubs have united to call for a full public inquiry into the awarding of the Olympic Stadium to West Ham.

Supporters groups of clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic have published a petition in which they demand further scrutiny on the agreement between the east London club and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), which will see West Ham rent out the 54,000 capacity stadium.

The petition comes in the wake of a BBC documentary earlier this month which claimed that much of the stadium’s running cost would not be paid by West Ham.

The following supporters trusts are supporting this call: Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leyton Orient, QPR1st and Tottenham Hotspur.

A spokesperson for the coalition said: “The fact that so many supporter groups have come together to call for this inquiry shows that the issues raised go beyond football tribalism.

“As football fans and as taxpayers, we want to see the preservation of fair competition and full transparency in public finances. This shady deal is not in the interests of the game of football and does little to promote public confidence in the way our money is being spent.”
In the petition, which currently has over 1,000 signatures, the coalition said: “West Ham has only contributed £15m towards the £272m conversion costs of the Olympic Stadium, with the taxpayer footing the rest of the bill.

“Considering the cost to the taxpayer, and the effect of this taxpayer subsidy on competition between clubs, a full public inquiry into the deal is needed.”

West Ham have confirmed to Standard Sport that they will not be issuing an additional statement in response to the petition. After the documentary had aired a club spokesman said: “It should be remembered that during a fair, open and robust process that was open to any party or organisation in the world, West Ham United were chosen as the group that delivered the best long-term, viable future for the Stadium and the best return for the taxpayer.

“Our presence underwrites the multi-use legacy of the Stadium and our contribution alone will pay back more than the cost of building and converting the stadium over the course of our tenancy…

“Without us, the Stadium would lose money. With us, the public purse will see a return on the hundreds of millions of pounds that were committed to build the Stadium, long before West Ham's association had begun.”

In the wake of the BBC programme shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant called for details of the agreement to be published “as a matter of urgency”.

Totally classless dwarf **** that Sullivan

 

[fatpiranha]

Signed as well and not just because it's West Ham. There was supposed to be some sort of legacy from the Olympics; subsidising a professional football club owned by private individuals is contrary to the spirit of the Games and a betrayal of the people of London.
