Pressure on Baroness Brady to play ball with Spurs over ground share
|
|
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. The London Legacy Development Corporation, with whom the Hammers negotiated a highly favourable 99-year lease from the 2016-17 season, are privately annoyed at the stance taken by the club’s freshly ermined vice-chair, Karren Brady (now Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge), that any such move would be firmly opposed.
Like London’s mayor, Boris Johnson, the Legacy Board are keen to see the largely taxpayer-funded stadium pay its way, and would welcome the income a season of Spurs home matches would attract. One leading figure involved in the original negotiations tells us: “A ground-sharing arrangement for a season seems eminently workable, and profitable. Someone should be reminding West Ham that they need to be flexible on this.”
It was understood West Ham would be able to veto a potential move, even if Tottenham, or any other club, agreed a deal with the Legacy Corporation. But in fact West Ham only have this power of veto for the first season in which they move from Upton Park.

I'd like to be in the room when the minion that tries to is reminded what a contract is and how they work.
This is obviously a non-story to fill column inches.

Someone needs to remind spurs to fuck off.
Didn't the skinless cunts want to bulldoze the stadium down?

if as stated, we can veto it for first year, can you imagine if they came in on second year with our claret blue seats etc..every home game, they will rip up the stadium etc...it just doesnt work on so many levels. Perhaps we should have taken the lesser of 2 evils with Leyton Orient?

I have an idea. Why don't we just let them have the piece of shit for good and we stay where we are?

Makes sense now why they are keeping the seats white and using projection lighting to reflect claret and blue on the seats, wrap, outside. When Spurs or any other team shares they just replace with the appropriate colour wheel.

The LLDC need to be reminded of the illegal phone tapping of them. Surely not good business to do deals with business's linked to using underhand methods against them.
A blight on the whole Olympic Legacy and spirit itself if they did.

Why is it that some little oik finds a loophole in our contract that gives others what they want. Have our legal team fucked up AGAIN?
Sick of the whole business.
Will this shit arguing over the Fucking stadium ever go away?
Give up now, just agree to let them use it for a year, shake hands and get over it!
