Its in North London and has a capacity befitting Englands biggest indigenous fan base.
England could rent it for Internationals and the FA could hire it for the cup final.
West Ham haven't got 60,000 fans to go in the Olympic Stadium and with the running track round it they will need opera glasses to see the matches

This story has been plastered everywhere for the last month or so; a bidding process, then a delayed decision (oooowww, the suspense...not), followed by todays the news that West Ham are the preferred tenants of the Olympic site once the games have finished. I found myself asking...is this really news??? Who cares about the goings on of some cockney knobheads? Nobody who doesn't live in a £1million council flat I bet, Where's my lager!!!
The real question is why are we wasting money on this in the first place? Why must the tax payer subsidise a sporting event and then pay for not hosting a sporting event? If people were really interested in athletics then it would pay for itself Shirley? Why do we need an 80,000 athletics venue? You'd struggle to get 8,000 paying punters such is the interest. Great, you're good at running, let's see ya then. Right, seen it once it's just boring now, do one! Cycling as a sport??? It's cheap sad bastards that can't kick a football and need something to do taking their transportation to work a step too far.
Onwards to Lincoln!!!
Tottenhams average gate is a full house , and there is a huge waiting list for season tickets.
So thats that argument shot down.
In the days of standing when White Hart Lane held 63,000 it was full every game whereas West Ham could never fill Upton Park in those days when their capacity was 42,000.
See how many they have when they get relegated

West Ham is just about a full house every week apart from room they leave for segregation
and to be right about it give credit when its due West Ham have arguably the most loyal passionate fans base in the country up there with Newcastle and Leeds etc they have a massive England following if not the biggest and in the past when they have been relegated there fans still stay loyal and bounce straight back up
and the season ticket waiting list your referring to are probably for them city boy yuppie types who dont really watch football and just go because its trendy and looks good for there image and if they were ever to get relegated to the championship them type would just naff off and then probably go and support Chelsea or Arsernal like fashion accessories
Ive been at Goodison watching Tottenham when there has been 10,000 Tottenham fans. All the away end + a good bit of the main stand. West Ham just dont have the same fan base FACT

Ah ! :0
The fact that they have spent all this money but haven't got a clue to do after they've spent it other than a hashed last minute plan stinks.

I think you'll find that most of the Middle East, Egypt included, are a mess because they haven't been allowed to sort it out for themselves because the Brits in particular have interfered and screwed the countries up in the first place.
yeah my old man was serving in the British army over there then and even said what a balls up it would end up alhough he didn't like the Arabs as a people and said they only respect voilence he also said the Jews since the beginning of time have been disliked even before the Roman times there must be something wrong with themmarky wrote:we had a major part into setting up Israel and look what a great success that has been.
