Olympic Stadium update

West Ham United continue to press ahead with our legacy proposals for the Olympic Stadium.

The club remain committed to east London and believe we are the right choice. In contrast, back in May 2009, our neighbours Leyton Orient were looking at a move away to Harlow or Basildon.

The Olympic Stadium is in Newham and Leyton Orient is in Waltham Forest. We will not move away from Newham, after all its our home borough.

We have always focused on our legacy plan for the stadium, and in turn the East End and London as a whole, and already have the right permissions from the game's governing bodies to tender again.

We know we can make the Olympic Stadium work for the capacity required for a successful staging of major sporting events like the 2017 World Athletics Championships.

Our attendances and fanbase are both on the up and we are confident that we have a revenue model and ability to generate the income that will make the stadium legacy a lasting success.
