Pressure on Baroness Brady to play ball with Spurs over ground share

[mawspurs]

A major row is brewing over West Ham’s likely refusal to share the Olympic Stadium with Tottenham Hotspur for a season should the north London club make a formal request to do so while their own new stadium is being built.

Are they debt free yet? If they haven't cleared it by 2016 then they won't be allowed to move in to the Olympic Stadium anyway.

Y'know what, i don't even want to see Spurs running out there, i wish there was some other solution, but now i want it to happen just to see the look on her manly face when she's told to shut up and sit down.

I'd rather they play at Brisbane Road than the poxy Olympic Stadium. At least they'd welcome us.

We wouldn't ask to use the Upton Park shithole, would we?

In my opinion the LLDC should give the Spammers a stark choice. If they refuse to allow us in as joint tenants for a season they should temporarily vary the conditions of their tenancy at the OS and force them to pay the additional rent they would have received from us being there for a year. If they refuse to pay up or they default they should be barred from playing there until they do or locked out. That would serve them right. They could even go back to Upton park for a year with their tails between their legs.

The Spammers want it all ways, they lied and deceived the Olympic Park Legacy Company from the start about the fact that there would be substantially increased costs that would have to be borne by the taxpayer as a result of them being installed as sole tenants and they had the bare faced cheek to play the media for the sympathy vote by claiming that we were being underhand. They knew all along that there would be significant extra costs borne by the taxpayer as they knew all along that they were going to demand that retractable seating be installed.

They also knew all along that by being open and honest about the true cost to the taxpayer there would have been such a public outcry that they would never have got the OS so they deliberately tried to hide these important details to get the sympathy vote. We were honest about what we would do and we were painted as the bad guys. Now they want their cake to eat. They are standing in the way of public money going back to the taxpayer sooner rather than later and they and Brady should be shown up for what they are. They are petty and small minded and they are doing all they can to avoid the embarrassment of having us in there continually and massively outselling them every game for a season as it will show them up for the small time club they are and it will again serve to emphasise what a farce it was to award them the OS in the first place as I'm convinced their attendance figures will barely increase from what they are currently at Upton Park despite having an extra 18-20k extra seats.

not sure how true this is heard it on Saturday with some other really good bits of spurs gossip. so please don't neg me.

I heard the reason we are having this problem is because we want to build 3/4 of the new stadium whilst playing at WHL then play in the new stadium knock WHL down and add the last side, however the PL wont allow clubs to play in un finished stadiums, so this guy believes the PL will waiver that for us just so we can get a bigger ground.

This is all just speculation no idea if true.

Sounds like bollocks to me, plenty of premier league clubs, including us have played on building sites. It wasn't "that" long ago that this was our north stand.

As for Karen Brady.

I hope she has to eat her words. She's a horrible twat that's quick to shoot her mouth off.
I know a villa fan that said the same during her time at Birmingham. She's a disgrace.

But in fact West Ham only have this power of veto for the first season in which they move from Upton Park.

You can understand why wham would want all the attention on themselves in that first season at their new ground.
We should be flexible enough to accommodate that, then move in for a couple of seasons or 3. Let the builders have free reign to get the stadium/flats/etc all built as quickly and cheaply as possible to spec without them having to worry about 50,000 people coming into the area every other week and trampling through the wet concrete.

That was 20 years ago and due to the need to develop stadiums from standing to all seaters in the 90's, almost every premier league team played at one point or anther while building work was carried out. The rules could've changed since. However, Utd expanded OT only 3 or 4 years ago.

I'm sure others have done it recently too.

Surely it's not her fucking say? They're just tenants.

NO idea, but how has Brady even got a title all she does is slack people off in the paper.
