This was mentioned in the press a few months back so probably is true.
Im throwing my toys out as its not fair, we need to apply for the next games of some sort and hijack the new main stadium thats built before Everton do.

It's fukking stupid though. One of the, if not the, richest sports in the world shouldn't be helped out like that and neither should any team in the football league as it's unfair on others. Spurs want a new stadium and have to stump up a huge amount of money for it and these virtually get given one!

Its not fair, IRC there was a couple of teams after it, West Ham, Spurs, and possibly a smaller team from the area Leyton orient comes to mind but I may be wrong?, I just cant remember who they were now?
It doesn't sound right though.
Yeh sorry the link you gave us crashed on me before so couldn't read it all.
It does say leighton orient so they were bound to be pushed out to make way for Wham.

It was Leyton. It was closer to their home than either West Ham and Spurs so claimed it could destroy them if one of those 2 got it instead of them.
But West Ham should be made to pay market value if they want to use it. I'm not entirely sure where the money came from to make it but if it was tax payer money it takes the p!ss even more.

It's better to get some money instead of leaving it out rot, no? This is how City of a brand we stadium. Liverpool should have applied to host the Commonwealth or Olympic games.

Put it to good use for athletics or something. A centre of excellence perhaps as we have very little facilities in this country and then moan when we don't do much at the Olympics. But whatever they do, they shouldn't all but give it to a football club and potentially be paying for it and it's up keep with my fukking taxes! Make them pay the going rate for what it would cost them to build it there or knock it down and you have some prime London real estate to pay us hard working tax payers back a little. Football at this level doesn't need financial help and this sort of thing doesn't provide a level playing field IMO.

Doesn't look like it is financial help, I understand that this was the best way to get maximum revenues for infrastructure that could end up being a white elephant, only football has enough money to rent such facilities. WH negotiated well apparently.
