Olympic stadium and build a new 60k seater on the site if their bid is succesful

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12173663

This makes absolutely no sense
It took City 44 years to win the league and 10 months to lose it

I see West Ham are proposing something similar should they win the bid too.

Surely some London club would be happy with the stadium as it was intended or just with the removal of the running track as Man City did when they inherited the Commonwealth games stadium?


ETA: Just re-read the article. The big difference between the Olympic stadium and the Manchester stadium is the capacity at the London one would have to reduced, whereas City expanded theirs by removing the running track. Neither West Ham nor Spurs would need an 80,000 seater stadium.

I suppose the danger is the stadium going the same way as China's Birds nest Olympic stadium which is now used as a winter theme park or for the odd concert.

The London Olympic stadium is meant to be a semi permanent structure - the top tiers are essestinal temporary and come down to leave a 25 odd thousand stadium ( think its roughly that size anyway). Doesn't seem that suitable either way for either party.

West Ham should get this as the stadium is in East London where they're from. Spurs has planning permission to build a stadium next door to their current one in north london. While both areas are kips most Spurs fans I've spoken to would prefer to remain a north london club.

If i was living in england paying tax towards an 80k seater olympic stadium in the height of a recession i wouldnt be too happy with spurs knocking it down straight after the games

I couldn't give a sh*t to be honest.
Think Spurs are just using it to force  Haringey Council into a better deal on building a new ground beside WHL.
