West Ham Olympic Stadium deal collapses

Great for Gold/Sullivan, not so great for West Ham.

I think it will more than likely kill them off. The stadium is ill suited for football and they will barely half fill it leading to zero atmosphere and a wdwindling number of fans. They will have no assets either. £#%&!ing lunacy imo.

upton park is a decent enough stadium for them anyway, always a good atmosphere there
