Oh yeah. The lack of pillar in the other stand should've been a giveaway!Park Lane. Looks like a pre season game v Rangers judging how empty the West Stand is and how busy the away end is

Rakes are used in the garden aren't they so got to be something to do with the bloke mowing the pitch ;-)

In this context, it's an angled beam to support a tier of seats.
There's one visible in the photo.

Reports that Vodaphone have a agreed a 6-year £20m deal to sponsor the Olympic stadium.
That's peanuts compared to what Levy is looking for...

Yes but that Vodafone sponsorship doesn't benefit the pie and mash boys I don't think, instead the people that own it are the one's that profit from it because spammers rent it.

Yes but its 2o million per year more than what Levy has at the moment. A bird in hand etc..........

I'm sure if Levy offered the
naming rights for £3m a year he'd have no shortage of takers.

If Levy offered our naming rights for 1p a year he'd still be getting more than West Ham get out of this. 20 Million £ over six years = barely 3.4 million per year. Shocking deal for the taxpayer.

No deal is better than a bad deal...
But is £3.4m such a bad deal?
From swiss ramble:
£3m to £4m a season.
Levy wants a £400m deal...
But is £3.4m such a bad deal?
From swiss ramble:
So that is £20m to £30m naming rights deal over 7 years.
£3m to £4m a season.
Levy wants a £400m deal...

I'm not concerned at all because our chairman is one clever fucker who no doubt will probably get us a sponsorship worth around 400/500m in total, which pisses over this nothingness of a club.

Paul Miler Testimonial, August 1986, I'd say.Park Lane. Looks like a pre season game v Rangers judging how empty the West Stand is and how busy the away end is

The key is the prospective NFL team moving in. It's going to happen, I don't care what anyone says. No way would we be designing the two pitches, NFL dressing rooms, if we weren't given the nod and wink behind closed doors.

Maybe there was a sponsor happy to splash £400m. If they were having second thoughts because of May's mayhem, it would be tricky to find another at short notice.
Yeah yeah. I know. Naming rights is done and dusted.

Yeah, possible Brexit has hampered it, but London as a sports destination, and the PL and NFL as brands are still 2nd to none.

Bit of OT old WHL that just popped up.
Edit: Action from the Tottenham v Rangers testimonial match in 1986, held on behalf of Paul Miller.

It actually says on the original picture that it's Vs Rangers, in August, for Paul Millers testimonial
