Wembley is being talked about as a 15-20m venue.
any idea what mk dons' stadium would cost?
Wembley is being talked about as a 15-20m venue.
I bet they used 'World Cup Winners' somewhere in the presentation.There are also clauses for if they win Wimbledon or the Grand National.
Works out to just over 100k per game with no running costs, that's a joke
Looking forward to a whole host of lawsuits revolving around state aid / unfair competitive advantage...
The arrogance of the OPLC in handing out millions of taxpayer money to the Spammers while thinking they could keep their backhanded dealings a secret is breathtaking though...
And apparently they won't have to contribute to any running costs, even goalposts, bloody ridiculous, heads should roll for this, whether or not we think we should have got the place, form a public accounts point of view our offer was clearly a better option and this deal is financial negligence.Is this the right place?

West Ham's rent for the Olympic Stadium confirmed as £2.5m as Legacy Chiefs abandon legal battle to keep deal secret. @itvlondon

I actually think this deal is so bad one day a government will decide to sell it on to West Ham and they'll demolish and rebuild you mark my words.
If we want to use the stadium I don't think they would be able to refuse due to the term below:
"Priority Use means that use by the Grantor or any other person can only occur if either the Concessionaire has given permission (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). or: (a) the Grantor or a Grantor Party. requires access to perform its obligations under the Concession Documents (including for operations, maintenance or repairs); or (b) to allow access to professional sports teams. sportsmen. sportswomen and their staff and coaches in connection with events at the Stadium at which professional sports will be played; and (c) access required for the Stadium tour operations,
So they would have to be asked for permission as Brady has said but considering everything else they would need to have a very good reason for us to not use the stadium.
That was then but eventually they'll just want to get shot and they'll be able to point to the lack of support for athletics to make their case.They'd have to build athletics a new stadium which is what levy made sure of before pulling out.

Athletics has a 99 year lease. They will not leave without somewhere to go and they would make west ham pay to build them a new home.
So Wham offer to re-build a nice 15,000 seater (Athletics doesn't need more) Crystal Palace, cost £25m....and then gets the OS for diddly squat...to rebuild on the existing site (and sell off surplus land).
Net cost to Wham fckall
Right, let's be clear that I personally was totally against us moving to Stratford...but just think LLDC had an alternative offer from Spurs that would rebuild the stadium AND upgrade Crystal Palace athletics stadium for absolutely no cost to the tax payer....and this is all they could "negotiate" out of west ham?
I would really like to know more about how characters like Boris Johnson and Seb Coe intervened and influenced all of this. It just doesn't smell right.
Why would athletics be happy with a 15k capacity stadium when they have a 60k one basically rent free? Also i hope they get some of the naming rights money.
