"That's right Tom, and the Delaware Tottinghams are roaring up the standings after promising displays by the quarterback left-backer Benoit Ekotto and the rest of the defence line.. Head Coach Harry Redknapp must be thrilled that his instructions in the fourth quarter to throw David DeBentley on for that corner play really worked out against the Green Bay Gunners!"

A bit O/T as the Olympic stadium is nothing to do with us anymore, but ...

Leyton Orient consider sharing Olympic Stadium with West Ham

Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn says he would be interested in a possible ground share of the Olympic Stadium with West Ham United.

Hearn has criticised the Hammers' plans to move from Upton Park in the past.

But he told BBC Sport: "Subject to the changes West Ham are asking for, namely covering the running track, we'd be interested in bidding for the stadium as part of a ground-share with them.

"We will now talk with the Olympic authorities."

The League One side's chairman had previously considered moving to the Olympic Stadium, but withdrew on the basis that it was "not fit for football".

Hearn feared that if West Ham moved away from Upton Park it could threaten the O's survival by tempting fans away from Brisbane Road.

The newly-promoted Premier League club have been looking at the feasibility of including retractable seating at the venue, which is due to be converted into a 60,000-seater stadium after the Games.

In March the Hammers were named as one of four bidders looking to take control of the stadium following the conclusion of the Games.

At the same time it was confirmed that the O's were not among the quartet.

If the ground share were to be successful, it would be the first time two London clubs have shared a home ground on a permanent basis.

The London Legacy Development Corporation has extended the tenancy bidding process until after the Games.

...So what's the latest with the Olympic Stadium? Are there any serious contenders to get it other than the spammers? Wasn't there cricket and baseball mentioned!?

I'm still assumung West Ham will get it and will do their best to get some sort of retractable seating arrangement in there as suggested above.
 
Wasn't there an issue with sight lines with retractable seating in the Olympic stadium?

From what I've seen so far, retractable seating would require digging the pitch down quite a long way. Surely something way outside the affordability of a club like that.

I think every post he writes is designed with precision to make me as annoyed as possible. He's fudging good at it.

Removable seating might be more accurate. The ship has well any truly sailed on the retractable seating idea.

Just get the players and a bunch of spades.

It could be their pre-season strength training. ;)
 
Can't dig down. It's on a river island, water table is too high. Slope of any retractable seating sections will be so shallow that fans seated 20 or 30 rows back will have trouble seeing past all the heads in front.

As for affordability, you have to wonder who will bear the costs of rebuilding the roof to match league stadium regs about a roof covering all the seats. A proper roof, as opposed to the canopy now in place, that cantilevers over the track area will require massive amounts of new support structure - pilings, pillars, girders like those used at Old Trafford or Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Given the distance needed to cover, it would be the largest stadium cantilever in Britain, maybe the world.

I bet the roof costs wouldn't be far off the material costs of Spurs complete stadium. Assuming it's built in our lifetimes.

We're having near enough the same spec of medical facility as is going into the national football centre.... altitude chamber, zero gravity treadmills, track designed for gait analysis... etc etc

Where do you get the idea that we do things later than other clubs???

Levy and whoever else on that Tottenham committee that has a say.

Take the two links above, and replicate.

Make it a big song and dance, make it something that everyday Tottenham fans can get exited about.

Advertising could be good on a construction site like the above

I'll not beg, just hope you do it.

I'm lost for words how good those links are, even got time lapse videos on it as they go. How fooking excellent is that.

On top of that, the stadium is a temporary structure, just a big Meccano kit. It's not designed to last more than ten years and that may make it difficult to alter.
 
Once the Olympics have finished I wonder if the feel good factor will wear off and we'll see the media start asking the sort of questions that should have been asked a long time ago regarding the stadium. It all seems so badly designed and handled.
