Looks like we are moving peeps

West Ham United have been chosen as the preferred bidder to become the new tenants of the London Olympic Stadium following the conclusion of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games this morning by the Olympic Park Legacy Company.
The Hammers now are waiting on the decision to be ratified by the Company board, the government and also the Mayor of London, before they can start to put plans in place to move from Upton Park.

The decision by the company to back West Ham's bid was unanimous, with the club's plans to keep the athletics track in place the overriding feature of the bid. They beat off competition from Tottenham Hotspur, who wanted to get rid of the track.

The Web-Fans poll on the debate, which has been running since November was split very evenly, with both 46.3% of voters backing both Spurs and West Ham, with just 7.4% saying that neither club should have the stadium.

"The fundamentals have not changed," Mr Altman said.

"This is a significant public asset and a 99-year lease and it is right that we take the time now to get the best possible outcome for the stadium."

In March, the LLDC, which was then operating as the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), confirmed that four bids were on the table from firms wanting to become tenants of the Olympic Stadium.

West Ham United, which won the now-disbanded process to move to the stadium in Stratford, east London, after the London 2012 Games, is one of the bidders.

West Ham United has applied for a 99-year lease of the stadium, which is reported to have cost £486 million to build.

The plan had been to start evaluating the four bids with the aim of making a decision before this summer's Games.

There had been 16 would-be bidders who had shown an interest but this had dropped to four once submissions were made in March.

The LLDC claimed it was not unhappy with the four bids but was addressing "technical issues" that had arisen.

It is hoped the extension will "make sure that there is a level playing field for all those who registered", a spokesman said.

Evaluation of bids will not now happen before the summer but the LLDC's "hard and fast" deadline is to have a contract in place by October, they said.

Olympic Stadium: West Ham and Leyton Orient Both Want To Move In



Thursday 12th July 2012

LBC 97.3 can reveal both West Ham Utd and Leyton Orient football clubs are bidding to move into the Olympic Stadium after London 2012.

The London Legacy Development Corporation has confirmed it received four official bids by this lunchtime's latest deadline.

It's the third time the bidding process has been run, after the LLDC re-opened the process in May and the Hammers were thwarted with taking over of the stadium last year because of legal challenges.

Whoever is chosen will be 'concessionaries' or tenants sharing the stadium along with UK Athletics. The 2017 World Athletics Championships will also be staged in Stratford.

A decision isn't expected til September at the earliest with the aim of using the Stadium in 2014. A spokesperson for the London Legacy Development Corporation said "The London Legacy Development Corporation has received four bids from parties interested in becoming concessionaires of the Stadium after the Games. The Legacy Corporation will assess the bid submissions to determine the winning concessionaires to occupy the Stadium alongside athletics."

But our Olympics Correspondent John Cushing's understands both West Ham Utd and Leyton Orient are definitely 2 of the 4.

It's believed the Premier League newboys see their long term future away from Upton Park and in the Olympic Park with the aim of creating a long term legacy for the Stadium. The O's have also re-entered the process with a source telling us it would be a 'dream' to move in but admits it would be a gamble too. Both clubs are restricted from talking about it officially because of confidentially clauses.

But the University of East London has confirmed to LBC 97.3 its withdrawn its bid, in partnership with Essex Cricket Club, for the latest process.

A University of East London spokesperson said "The University of East London has decided that it will not be proceeding with its submission in relation to the Olympic Stadium. As a university, we continue to have a strong interest in ensuring students and staff can gain full benefit from the world-class facilities within the Olympic Park, as well as contributing to the overall legacy of the London 2012 Games."

Leyton Orient want to move in

What so each fan can have 12 rows of seats to themselves

I know Su , that Hernia really is one fucked up plonker that makes himself look a **** every time he opens that sewage of a gob . How on earth could they one afford the place and as you pointed out fill it , stupid boy

Waste of time and paper for him, but it's cheap publicity I suppose. I hope they get it, now that would be funny

he will keep opening his gob every month or two until this is all over, he is looking for a pay out

Looks like the four are us, F1 racing?, hernia and something called UCFB football college?

I think we should just tell them to fcuk off now and then complain about our loss of revenue if Orient get it, (well they would have to move into our borough)

how would F1 w**k at the OS ?

Twice round the running track, and then onto the East London roads.

local chavs will have those wheels off quicker than any F1 pit crew
