West Ham were in serious negotiatians to take over the stadium after the Olympics. They are very close to Newham Council and thus the local political support was there and many detailed community use plans were on the table to provide the 'legacy' that the authorities want.
But Red Ken says no and West Ham are to build a 50,000 stadium in Canning Town instead and the taxpayer will be left with a white elephant 25,000 athletics stadium, used maybe two or three times a year by about 300 people......
You couldn't make this stuff up :splapme
Red Ken and the Olympic committee whould be taken to task for the willful waste of OUR money. Its a disgrace frankly
