I am currently writing my university dissertation on the issue of the Olympic Stadium, and the plans for an Olympic Legacy beyond this summer's games. As part of my research, I am asking a wide range of WHU fans on their views of the potential move.
If any of you could fill out a short questionnaire, it would be massively appreciated. It won't take more than 5 minutes (More than Yes or No answers would be preferred!).
* To the forum moderators, apologies if this is either in the wrong forum, or if it tangles with forum rules/regulations, just one hopeful Hammer looking for the most help/feedback possible from fellow supporters.
Come On You Irons.

• As a West Ham United supporter, are you for or against the clubs plans to move from Upton Park to the new Olympic Stadium in Stratford. If so, why?
• Do you believe a move in stadium will help the club to progress, either on the pitch or financially in the immediate future?
• Do you feel that the clubs owners, David Gold and David Sullivan, have consulted the clubs supporters enough on the issue of the Olympic Stadium?
• What is your opinion on the club renewing its application for the Olympic Stadium despite the current legal issues with rivals Tottenham Hotspur?
• Do you believe that the clubs potential move to the Olympic Stadium would help with the production of an Olympic Legacy after London’s summer Games in 2012?
• Does the issue of the Olympic Stadium retaining its running track beyond the Olympic Games impact upon your feelings towards the club potentially moving there?
• Do you believe that Leyton Orient Chairman Barry Hearn has any justification in his concerns over West Ham United moving into the Olympic Stadium, and the affect it could have upon Leyton Orient’s future?
• Do you have any concerns over the club potentially losing its identity, traditions or heritage should they move to the Olympic Stadium?
• Would you be in favour of exploring alternative locations for a new stadium in east London, or redeveloping Upton Park instead of moving to the Olympic Stadium?
• Has the fact that West Ham United would now only be renting the Olympic Stadium in their latest application, as opposed to owning it themselves when they first won preferred bidder status affected your opinion on the potential move?
