The terms of West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium are a scandalous waste of taxpayers money and need to be addressed. Please read this link and sign the online Government petition. Pass it on to other forums and through Twitter and Facebook. It's our money that is being gifted to them and they even keep the proceeds from the sale of their present dump. Come on the Blues!

Meh. I couldn't care less personally. If tax money wasn't wasted on this it would be wasted on re-tarmaccing the same piece of road 23 times over a calendar year. Let them have their little day in the sun.

I like it, for 12 years my pikey loving best mate at work has never missed an opportunity to tell me

how every trophy of the Roman era is worthless because of the spunking of millions of pounds

 

now the Pikeys are on the end of a very generous multi million subsidy and IF they avoid relegation and

attract bigger crowds next season can generate more match revenue and sign better players.....if all that comes true;  they

still wont win a sausage, cant wait to piss take back

Signed. 

 

Completely agree that a Premier League club in this day in age shouldn't be in receipt of such perks. 

 

When you consider that the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge is going to cost the club £500m plus is ridiculous that West Ham are only paying a one of fee of £15m towards towards the conversion of the Olympic Stadium.

You should care mate. They are a rival business that has been gifted, in real terms, £400 million of our taxes. The cost of the upkeep of all facilities (including the pitch and goal posts for f**k sake) estimated at £2.5 million a year is to be paid by us taxpayers for the next 99 years. In effect, they will be living there rent-free. Rent is halved if they go down so us taxpayers will be giving them another £1.5 million a year. Wrong on every level and everyone from every club in the country should sign this.

It's a total scandal.

Signed.

f**king joke when you think about it

Signed. I'm sure I've read that assistance from the taxpayer is contrary to EU financial rules. Is that the case?

Signed, well out of order.

Both Houses of Parliament in that case.

West Ham are benefiting because the government foolishly thought that anything but football could be the legacy of that stadium and so it was poorly designed for easy conversion. They also left the bidding process too late hoping for unrealistic bids from other bodies. Any football club that took the stadium had power in making a deal because football is the only viable legacy, the government would rather get blamed for giving West Ham taxpayer money than the embarrassment of having the centrepiece of the 'legacy' empty 95% of the year for a decade. Really any anger should be at the deluded management of the bid in 2005-2007 period rather than West Ham.
