So it is looking increasingly likely that the public purse will be used to turn West Ham United into a footballing super power. The jellied eels munching East End barrow boys, it seems, will be packing up their caravans, towing them up the road to Stratford and setting up home in an Olympic Stadium remodelled to fit the club's needs, complete with state of the art retractable seating to ensure the stadium creates the right sight lines and atmosphere for a future Champions League club.
Bloody hell, even Del Boy wouldn't have dreamt up this wheeze. In 2015, we really could be millyonaires, playing in front of 60,000 spectators, with special concessions for the young to ensure a future generation of London based, West Ham supporters. And remarkably, the taxpayer, be he a Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Millwall or even Leeds fan, will fund it!
How galling must that be if you support another club? How many whippets will be kicked by guys in flat caps when this is officially announced? How many Oy Veys will be uttered on the way back from the synagogues of Tottenham? How many wives will be punched in Millwall? How many Chelsea fans will melt in indignation? How many Gunners will go pop at the prospect?
It is, of course, outrageous, but it looks like it is going to happen regardless. Boris wants it to happen and what Boris wants, Boris gets. Newham Council are committing £40m to the project despite being one of the poorest boroughs in the country, funding a privately owned football club out of the public purse, having led objections to Tottenham moving to the stadium.
Whilst poor old Leeds United is negotiating to sell its soul to Shatan, the Dildo Brothers look like they have pulled off the biggest coup since Bates sold Chelsea to Abromovich. Happy days! Unless you are a tax payer who does not support West Ham!
You dont even have 60 thousand fans to start with you can barely sell out your garden center of a ground your in now and where are your club ranked again in london is it 5th best you tell me arse wipe?
ReplyDeleteyeah you might be right but you will still shit your pants as always when you play millwall. heathcliffe
ReplyDeletewhy has the richest club in the World not been mentioned here as i remember they took control of a public money built stadium? and the knuckle dragging buffoon who wrote this drivel should ask him or her self what happened to all the Olympic stadiums all over the world. go on look it up you complete tool.

ReplyDeleteOf all the possible outcomes your fantasy is the least likely. For starters you'll be back in the championship by 2015, Spurs will be keeping a close eye on this and the tax payer won't pay anything for this. West Ham will pay a large chunk plus 2m a year rent. Get your facts before you talk shit. And to be honest I couldn't care less if tax payers money is used for this. Do you think anyone really cares? Good luck to you. You'll need it.
ReplyDeletehahahaha... funny guy keep em coming...LOL
ReplyDeleteIs this not a "state aid" issue?
ReplyDeleteWhy should taxpayers, the length & breadth of the country fund West Ham United & not any other club?
Is it not enough that they're getting a new stadium?
60,000 people, at home games, singing "Knees Up Mother Brown" & watching big Sam's route-one, long-ball game? I don't think so!
Irrespective, I can't see fans of any other English league club being happy with this decision if it goes ahead.

Hahaha come on Leeds fans, hand your money over I want a shiny new stadium!!! COYI!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do you find the need to use prejudice and even racist language in a desperate attempt to seek attention?
ReplyDelete60,000 every week, lets hope the away fans feel like coming to watch as the ground will only be a third full, you being one the worse supported clubs in the premier league, but wait a minute 2015 you'll be in the champonship 60,000 capacity dick head
ReplyDeleteEven if you move to a new souless stadium so what? I dont think anyone outside of wet spam or orient care! you will still have millions of debt! playing in front of a half empty stadium! Good luck, you will need it
ReplyDeleteyou dont have 60,000 fans mate.
ReplyDeletethanks for the support hf! MOT4eva
ReplyDeleteWot a cock head .
ReplyDeleteNever let the facts get in the way of a good story.....
ReplyDeleteI've now realised after reading your blogg for six months that you are a complete knob. infact I hope your mum and dad know your on the internet all the time as there are stick rules for under 12s to gain access you know.
ReplyDeleteSo much jealousy from other clubs. Get over it!
ReplyDeleteThe mighty West Ham playing in front of a sold out Olympic stadium, I cannot wait.
Unlike Chelsea we actually have fans who turn-up through the good times and the bad.
Come On You Irons
Fcuking tit .
DeleteTo be honest you could move where ever you want i dont give a toss my only concern is leeds utd end of!! I seem to remember we outplayed you in both our games last season so whilst your sat in some east end cafe eating eels or in a shitty overpriced london boozer drinking flat beer this might be worth considering. Your a bell end!
ReplyDeleteNow you've definitely lost the plot. Ha! Looks like the Savile piece you were goaded into writing has left you looking like a complete fool and desperate to keep the hits and retorts from us Leeds fans coming. You know this Leeds to a slippery slope HF and leaves you looking more and more desperate by the day. Maybe it's time to give up the 'day' job. Be suprised if you post this TBH. Let's see if you've got the minerals.
ReplyDeleteBlokes a 1st class pumper and so is the other deluded wet spam knob who thinks they stand any chance in filling that stadium .......thats if they ever get it any way ? Southern fcuking muppets .
ReplyDeleteYou can always tell the Leeds fans. Unable to string a sentence together without swearing or wishing cancer on other people's families. No class.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope all West Ham fans get killed.
