The meedja is reporting tonight that it will cost the UK taxpayer an extra fifteen million pounds (on top of the the 600 million already committed!!) to convert the Olympic stadium into a football ground for Weeest Aaam Untied [sic], hardly the top flight of Premier League clubs, but of course they are in London, innit. But so are Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal, Saarfend and numerous others including Tottenham, etc.
By all accounts the Olympic velodrome is already up and running, as is the rowing venue, so what is it with kissball,, particularly in London. !5 million could buy you a mediocre Ukranian/Columbian/Belgian midfielder if this year’s transfer window is anything to go by and 600 million could buy most of the foreigners (and Wayne) playing this season thirty miles east of my home town.
So is all this legacy just for West Ham and the East End, or does the rest of the country get a look in too, bearing in mind the rest of the country paid for it?

No, OZ, it’s a demand thing! Only West Ham wants it and can afford to keep it. The alternative is to scrap it with an even bigger loss of face/money/votes! 🙂
Oh, bloody hell. Just give me a tenth of that and be done with it.
