Ok, I was a bit pissed, but at least I bothered. Perhaps the 2 blokes who've slagged me off would explain why they did and not just name call. Everyrthing I said was from the heart.

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
So did Gold say any about the OS and Brady's comments that the fans are 100% behind it

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
The future of the Olympic Stadium could decided by middle of May - as West Ham's David Gold has told LBC 97.3 that's when they'll be able to "discuss details of the bid."kosherhammer wrote:http://www.lbc.co.uk/west-ham-may-know- ... soon-53234
The Hammers co-owner also revealed the latest bidding process "might turn out to be better" in the long term than last year, when the Championship club were awarded the Stadium before legal challenges from likes of Spurs and Leyton Orient.
"You've got to move on and there's every possibility this is a better route than the original bid. It might turn out to be better" Gold told LBC's Iain Dale but he couldn't reveal why. "You might be aware of the process as we speak so am limited to what I can say - I would love to open up but think May 21st is the date we can discuss details of the bid."
The London Legacy Development Corporation, formerly the Olympic Park Legacy Company and in charge of finding futures for all eight of the permanent venues in the Olympic Park after 2012, has always said they hoped to announce the Stadium tenants before the summer events. LBC understands May was always the target but we're told any decision following the evaluation process has to be "ratified" by the LLDC board and that maybe in "May or June".
After vice chairman Karren Brady told LBC the West Ham fans don't "understand" yet why the club wants to move into the Stadium, Mr Gold ruled out a fans referendum about a move away from Upton Park claiming he could turn the 70% of Hammers supporters in favour of a switch to Stratford to nearly 90% if was "allowed" to show off their plans.
On the crucial question of sight lines and retractable seats in the stadium he said "I can't discuss it but what can say if we win the right to go to the Olympic Stadium it'll be a world class FOOTBALL stadium. Many stadiums round the world have been failures because they were constructed solely for the Olympics with no consideration for football. Technology has moved on so no seat in this stadium will be further from the pitch than at Wembley."
Gold also branded Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn's claim West Ham moving into Stratford would mean the end of the O's as a "red herring".
"We will help local community come to the stadium and young people in particular but what Barry says is insulting just because a club moves a mile or so closer that fans are going to desert you for another football club. I think its an insult to them. They're Orient fans from birth."
Hearn told LBC last month he'd monitor the process carefully and hadn't ruled out further legal action to prevent West Ham moving into the manor.

Re: david gold on lbc tonight
So much for Gold saying on TV that the seats would be no further than at UP

This is what happens when you dont conduct your own surveys, Gold chooses the 70% figure -presumably from the Kumb Spurs poll, whilst Brady plucks out a figure of 100% from the SAB survey, which was nothing more than a brief show of hands and was NOT 100% anyway.
They really need to agree on a figure when cherry picking.

NO seat in the stadium will be further from the pitch than at Wembley? We have done this before I know but would love to know what he really means by this statement.

Well it used to mean something. Commercialisation makes a charade out of everything in the end.evomutant wrote:What's the appeal of Wembley anyway? Take away the name and history and it is a very, very unimpressive stadium to watch a football match in.
