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.

This all day. They can't fill Upton Park with "kids for a quid" yet now have a bigger stadium. Yes the first few months and the big games will be busy and we'll hear them crowing about it. But West Ham v Bournemouth isnt really going to attract the tourists is it? I went during the olympics and I can't see how it's going to be a good football experience

Westfield are going to love hordes of pissed up West Ham fans traipsing through their shopping centre, especially with the shopping centre being, ahem, very multicultural.

To be fair, it's more than most teams have done against Leicester.

They're still ****s though. :p

How the fuck was that a penalty to Leicester! Can't wait for tomorrow as clearly the rules have changed and it's a totting up process. We should get three pens tomorrow.

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.

Good business by Samsung
