It's a great deal for your team mate but a terrible one for us taxpayers and reeks of corruption/gross incompetence/dereliction of duty by those responsible for gifting you the place. I'm not having a go at your club, just the politicians. It's terrible that Newham are slashing their elderly home care budget and the two British Legion clubs in the borough have to close so that the council can afford the annual £2.5 million maintenance and stewarding costs. I know the majority of your new fans won't care as they are not exactly big fans of our country but surely you and what is left of the old fanbase can't be celebrating that?The whole Olympic stadium has gone a bit obsessive to some - My take is we have to progress, Spurs would have taken the OS if we didn't. They would have a huge stadium over shadowing Upton Park, bigger stadiums can bring bigger investments. Not only that, it looks a beautiful stadium, it's huge and it's funny to see rival clubs crying that the taxpayer has had to cough up - we got a great deal , Sullivan/Gold and Brady have done a fine job here and I'm very much looking forward to the move although with a heavy heart as Upton Park has been my home for more that 20 years.
