Guardian is reporting that WH have been chosen to move in to the Olympic Stadum..  :)

Should think so too - how could spurs think that knocking donw the stadium and rbuilding it.. especially in these times would be endorsed  :no

I thought spurs were just moving there.... didn't know that if they won they would knock it down

Knock it down in to a purpose built football stadium, without the running track. Crazy - after pledging to keep the track as part of the bid, it's a joke that they thought they could win and imagine how much Spurs have spent to put their Business case together .. :O

Ah, I see, yes I read that West Ham would keep the track. It will be a bit weird at first with the track, but its good that an old stadium would be preserved.

lets hope the Mayor decides in favor for West Ham

looks like West Ham might have it, and quite right too. The Spuds bid was a joke...

West Ham will also offer free tickets to kids, cheap family packages and other stuff to make football accessible.
