West Ham have won Olympic Stadium

[PaxtonMuttley]

Let me assure you that there isn't. The Picketts Lock talk still persists, and it would be ideal except that the transport links are a lot, lot worse than the Lane.

....and smells of the sewage works....

But none of the infrastructure that's already going to be in place at the OS. If the Spammers get this, is it not going to make them a very attractive target for the next big sugar daddy?

These endless sugar daddy's arnt out there the scousers were for sale for ages that's the 2nd biggest club in the country yet not once did a sugar daddy try to buy them

Kinda glad, i don't want to go there anyway, i know we need to upgrade our stadium and it was a cheap option but i'd rather see us stay in North London and build here, there must be a viable option around this way, just one example would be all off the land north of Oakwood station, or somewhere like the parkland near Arnos Grove? there must be somewhere available!

There was talk a couple of years ago about maybe building in Hertford. Maybe that will be resurrected now?

I've also heard talk that if Levy appeals, it has to go to an independent body, who will look at it in financial terms, and we obviously have the better terms there.

Or maybe WHU will beg us to buy it after a year when they go bankrupt? Or we could groundshare?

damn you two.. got there before i edited

I feel like crying.. completely ruined my evening this has. Those people who are so vehemently against the OS move fail to see that if the NDP is truly not viable financially, for whatever reason, then we wont be moving for at least another decade. And that will be disastrous for us with regard to us competing at the very top level.

Well your spelling mistake is the only thing that's managed to make me smile since this news broke so thanks for that! Other than that, I share your gloom I'm afraid.

 

[Midostouch]

Or we could groundshare?

But why would we want to groundshare a stadium with a bunch of sleazebags, in a stadium where you can hardly see the ball and there's no atmosphere?

 

[spursgirls]

And transport links?

As I said in another post, they talked about Hertford before. Two train lines go there, so maybe ok........

:clap: Exactly how I'm feeling, cant see why some people are excited by this news? Of course I didn't want us to move but it's painfully obvious that this is the only viable choice for us to move forward as a club.

This for me is the biggest fear. I am so gutted. Levy has hinted that he would be more likely to sell if we didnt get the OS, as opposed to if we got it. I think ENIC think this is as far as they can take us without a nigger stadium, and I agree with them. We just cant compete at the top level when the likes of United, City, Pool are paying 100k+ wages.

So gutted. We wont be moving for another decade peeps.. back to Europa League we go.

Well it was going to have a sound system good enough for rock concerts

Tits

this.

It would have to be to our plan I think, which they might be grateful of if it came to that.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

Meh, let's hope west ham get relegated.

 

[PaxtonMuttley]

Rumours that this might be a hoax that the BBC have fallen for.

The announcement has always been scheduled for Friday.

Would appear not...

If you believe what Levy has said.

It beggars belief that so many do with his form .

The guy has done more tricks than Karen Brady .

Like I said...masterplan...

 

[Goldman]

Really dont know how to feel. I saw both pros and cons of the OS.. Meh. :-|

 

[Beni]

Well, prepare for us to be stuck in a 36,000 seater stadium for a considerable amount of time, and watch us fall behind Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal and co as West Ham improve and close the gap on us.

 

[striebs]

The Boleyn is a brilliant away day .

Their fans were resolute and united in their opposition to going yet the owners did not pay any attention to them . Doesn't this just sum up football today ?

Surely they could have sunk the pitch 40' and expanded it .

 

[Norwegian_YId]

Wish people wouldn't assume no OS = NDP because it doesn't, and i dont think there is another option.

Have a feeling we could see the exit of Levy and co

How do you know this? If you are correct, then why was the NDP viable up until the Stratford alternative arrived? Then all of a sudden NDP was unviable. I can't believe people believe this stuff. Levy didn't receive much support until he claimed that it was Stratford or nothing. It was a clever move from a business man. Spurs fans should know better though

Levy-silly Spurs fans 1-0


Thankfully we didn't get it in the end. NDP will be back on track soon
