From the Telegraph:
London officials are understood to be drawing up comparisons to see whether it would be cheaper to demolish the £525 million Olympic stadium and build a new facility in partnership with a football club rather than subsidise its use as a predominantly athletics venue.
Oh really? Anyone care to rule that out?
"The LDA has left no stone unturned in examining all legacy options for the Olympic venues and is still looking at a range of potential sporting uses including athletics, football and rugby for the Olympic stadium," a spokesman for the London Development Agency said last night.
Intriguing. Those unturned stones apparently include West Ham and Spurs, though I recall talk last season of Leyton Orient moving to Stratford post-2012. They were top of League One at the time. Their form went into an immediate decline. Was that an omen? Now read on.
