The London Taxpayers' Stadium Shambles

Terrible shame, he's real good egg, one of the chaps. If we persecute talented people like him how are we going to encourage the right sort of people to f***up the high salaried government "jobs for the boys" appointments?
 
I think the government will want to get rid of this whole shambles and will simply sell the stadium/land to the spammers which will enable them to knock it down and build a football stadium in its place.

This will happen after the World athletics champs due to be held next summer at the current stadium.

The spammers will invite some Chinese billionaire to invest in the club which will pump hundreds of millions into the whole plan.

No-one will care about an athletics legacy, everyone is just sick of the whole mess so there will be little opposition.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if this was what Brady and the porn barons expected and wanted all along. All the trouble, negative publicity, the impression that something drastic has to happen to solve the problems.
 
I don't think they'll rip a €750m stadium down any time soon. They'll tweak and fudge their way along for a 10 years or so and then move out.

I went on a tour of the Olympic park the year before the Olympics as part of the open house weekend, we got told on the tour that even with all the work they did readying the ground, due to it's location the stadium would last no more then 20 years. I do not know if they managed to sort that out, but as we went inside the stadium, the interior had not been fitted out I can not believe they managed to sort the problems with the foundations. The chap leading the tour did seem the sort to get his information wrong.
 
Newham Council 35% owners of stadium. Are £40m deep in loans towards the conversion cost. BUT also the entity that legally certifies if the stadium is safe or not.

Conflict of interest, meh thinks

Newham Council have the biggest loan debt (over £500m) of any local authority in Britain. This how Britain works borrow money you have no chance of ever paying off, the local residents get little benefit from this project but bankers, contractors and "entrepreneurs" fill their boots.

There's been some huge regeneration in that area over the last few years. The West Ham part of the deal might not make much of a difference, but local residents are far better of with the project than without.

For retractable are we really meaning removable.........i dont see a whole lot of retracting going on. If they could just be rolled back into the side gaps (like other stadiums) surely £8m each way would be a ridiculously high quote.

When certain people are involved in projects.....a clusterf*ck ensues.

done by a company called Dildo Logistics apparently

The whole place is a white elephant as predicted before the event, mutliple arenas built for specific sports yet the British Athletic meetings next year are either in Birmingham or Sheffield, Swimming it's Sheffield, Cycling at Manchester and Gymnastics in Liverpool. As usual the whole fiasco was an exercise in misleading the British public to pay for an event which help promote certain public figures and line the pockets of their friends. Everyone got excited and wrapped themselves in the Union Jack now we've got years to keep bailing it out. I still think we should have built the monorail Lyle Lanley was pitching!!!

Indeed it was always going to be perfection, well at least the arsehole Coe got a dong out of it.

Bingo, i said at the time that the only reason the porn brothers and Brady wanted this was to make a shed load of money.

That's correct. The stadium is a temporary structure. I had a tour of the Olympic site before the Olympics as well.
