Good luck to West Ham. Don't agree with it but it's not there fault and they've managed to strike an amazing deal for themselves. I blame the idiots who built it and insisted the running track had to stay etc etc as part of "the legacy"

The problem isn't West Ham though. They may have got a cracking deal, but that isn't their fault.
The problem is that the only viable option for a large stadium is football.
Blame the Government that built the Olympic stadium without any plan for what to do with it afterwards. If the half billion pounds plus that was spent on the Olympic stadium had included in the original design a plan to convert it for for football, then they wouldn't have needed to spend £270 million more.

How the fuck can a stadium that was built 4 years ago cost £272 million to renovate?

They must have wanted that running track legacy real bad.

272m makes you sick, they should have to pay every penny nack in installments if they want it that bad The problem is that no club would spend that type of money. If they wanted a new stadium they can build a proper large stadium, designed for football for that money and have plenty of change. They can build it where they want it to their own spec. So if a football club doesn't use it then Olympic stadium is just one huge, massively expensive white elephant. A white elephant that just publicly shows what an ego trip the Olympics were. Who else is going to be able to take on the stadium? Who could afford the running costs? Athletics - no chance - they'd quarter fill it once every few years I'd guess. Rugby have Twickenham already. The Millennium Dome and Wembley have the concert scene cornered in London. So we either knock it down or use it for football. If you use it for football you have to make it attractive for a football club to take it on (and let's face it as, as a purpose built athletics stadium with only a few clubs could consider, they haven't got a great market). So your suggestion of making them pay the full whack is just dumb.

Signed. I understand west ham have done a nice little deal for themselves but why should they profit so much from a government fuck up? Don't want my money subsidising them. Sell the land off for development and avoid spending another 200 million quid tax payers money.

Sell the land off for development and avoid spending another 200 million quid tax payers money. BigTimePete - Your money gets spunked on plenty of Government initiatives well exceeding what's being spent on making this stadium fit for it's only sustainable purpose - e.g. a £12.4 Billion Foreign aid budget that lines the pockets of despot dictators etc..and it's easy fare to jump on the bandwagon. The OS re-workings in real terms is pocket money. The big point here is the written in stone commitment we (Coe) to a lasting athletics legacy which was part of our bid to get the Olympics in the first place and why this face saving exercise applies no logic to the expense of doing it!!

My problem as i stated mate isn't with west ham as a club or its fans its the quango that came up with the idea it was finacially viable to do the deal and then allow west ham to profit from the sale of the Boleyn ground travesty of goverment ineptitude

Levy cried about it and we are where are. In truth I wish they'd built the fucker in Coventry. No one would give a shit.

Oh FFS - Stoke already had their pile of public money sorting the Brit. As a major employer and key brand for the city it made and makes sense. The same of WHU. The difference here is that WHU are RENTING a publicly owned building. WTF they do with the Boleyn is nothing to to do with anybody but THEM.(Regrettably).

Yeah let's sign it so that more public money can be wasted having an enquiry that will end up with someone being told they're a naughty boy but the end result will be the same. West ham will move into the stadium when it's ready. If the legacy hadn't insisted on the permanent running track the goverment wouldn't have had to spend 272 million making it a fit for purpose football stadium.
