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

[riggi]

Mix of plants and Spurs fans for the Puma Hard chorus advert for Valentines a few years back. Should be more like "Let's all laugh at Twitter and inaccurate tweets" in that instance

Beehive pub. Looks quite nice to be filled with ruffians!

Seems like a shite deal for Spammers. 1mil a year for 20 years. Can't be right. If it is they've got the shit end of that stick.

Depends how you view it. It means their running costs come down yet again. Almost like the British tax payer is funding Andy Carrol's hair dressing fees

A spammer m8 messaged me this earlier

Strong rumours this morning (Mon) say the Olympic Stadium could be renamed the Samsung stadium before West Ham move in later this year.

The whisper is that the biggest electonics company around has won the naming rights race and will pay the stadium owners, E20 Stadium LLP £120m over 20 years with West Ham set to receive around £20m in stadium rent rebates as their share of the deal.

The mobile phone giant based in South Korea has a global turnover of more than £215 billion and is just the kind of global Blue chip brand the owners have been searching for.

Samsung terminated it’s £18m per year shirt sponsorship with London rivals Chelsea in 2014 so this deal if confirmed will come cheap at one of third of the price.

The South Korean company have previously sponsored Diamond League athletics series at £3m per year, some meetings of which were held at the former Olympic stadium. Samsung are also a major sponsor of the summer Olympics in Rio later this year.

Am I being thick here?... Why are they comparing a shirt sponsor deal with a naming rights deal? Is that not why the values are so different?

But... the point of being champion of anything is if you finish above your opponent/rival. Christ.

When do they get to parade the trophy??

If they were taking profits from all the events that are going to happen there then I could see them becoming more of a threat. As it is they only have 26 odd days a year to generate income from the stadium. Plus the atmosphere is going to be dog shit in there. It might be ok for the first few months but once the novelty wears off it could be a different matter.
Our stadium though will generate money all year round. With the removable pitch I can see it being used for lots of events. And the atmosphere is going to be amazing! It's a proper footy stadium, not a bastardised athletics stadium.

Goughie talking on the radio this morning that Essex were on about dropping a pitch in for tug matches.
Good luck with that seeing as most spectators will struggle to see a football....

West Ham, a special kind of club, deserve a special trophy for their achievements under David Sullivan, a special kind of chairman. Luckily, I have had one commissioned...

"The future looks bright. West Ham U21 Premier League Champions well done Terry Westley and the lads magnificent." - West Ham chairman again takes liberties with the truth on twitter this season.

They won a cup on penalties against Hull, who I can't even see listed in the 2 divisions of the U21 Premier League. Confused.com...

From BBC...

Tickets for West Ham United's final game at Upton Park - against Manchester United on 10 May - are on sale for more than 10 times their face value. (London Evening Standard)

That'll be about £10 a ticket then...

I imagine there is going to be quite a race on at the final whistle to get the best caravan spot on the centre circle.

Conveniently not including Watford in that list. A team they picked up 3 points from in the two games. Spurs however got 6 points from Watford this season so that actually makes us the champions of London.
