That is literally in the same grounds as Wormwood Scrubs prison isn't it??

I'm pretty sure the local council have said this is a non-starter. They're thouroughly pissed-off with QPR at the moment 'cos they keep coming up with schemes without consultation. The council's view is that QPR are trying to become property speculators. I don't know the ins and outs of it all, just snippets I've seen in the press
The Billy tribute was great but how can anyone not tell the difference between Ken Brown Snr & Jnr?
Aamir Singh: Head of Video supports Liverpool
Jake Heath : Head of Supporters’ Service support Spurs
Ben Campbell: Media officer ehi banned UTJ supports MK Dons
If any of these had West Ham in their blood, this wouldn’t have happened.
David Gold lived at 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 Green Street , he's a Hammer through and through , as for Diddy David Sullivan , he's always doing the crossed hammers sign , what else could he be ?
Anyone who says they're in it for the money can meet me at the Public House of their choice as long as you tell me first .

No doubt the SAB will hold them to account.
I’m a new member to sab can you tell me what you mean about holding sab to account, I’m not part of it to slag people off, different groups etc I’m there to try and make my club and our club a more positive one. We should all be workin together we’re supposed to be West Ham family

You have been on this site for 15 years with the best part of 4,000 posts and you are not aware of the general feeling towards the SAB ?
The SAB should be asking how these people who have no affiliation with this club are in these positions, including an MK dons fan who feels UTJ is 'unnecessarily negative' ( I think that's the reason, the boss will correct me otherwise hopefully).
I don't doubt your good intentions at all but the paper exercise that is SAB is NOT the way to go forward. Until the club recognises WHUISA then there is no chance of the West Ham 'family' happening.

No doubt George can speak for himself but he wasn't saying "hold the sab to account", he actually said "the sab should be holding the club to account" (in this case, for the embarrassing mistake).
speaking to Sky Sports Premier League's coverage of West Ham v Newcastle (02/03/2019 at 8:00 pm), Nolan offered his thoughts on the stadium and how things are beginning to change for the good.
"I think you can sense around the ground that everyone is starting to just fall in love with it," Nolan told Sky Sports PL. "When they left Upton Park, it was like a marriage, a big split up, a break-up.
"When you hear Mark [Noble] talking about it or when you hear the lads and see the people who were here today, the Billy Bonds stand opening and you see them [home] results. They are making it feel [like] a home. They all feel at home.
"Long may it continue, it's a fantastic stadium, it's nice being here and hopefully they'll continue to get better here and get that big club mentality."
Thanks for that Johnny. Long read and lots to digest. Not properly taken it all in.
Lots more "blanked" out the longer it goes on. Someone realised it was all going to pot and ordered weekly meetings to resolve the problems. Haemorrhaging money. Naming rights saga - all positive notes in the meetings but yet still to get anybody of note.
The Mahindra saga is interesting. They feature throughout the 2016 and early 2017 minutes up to the stage where 'final' contracts were sent for signing, as far as I can work out, there's a few pages fully redacted and there's no more Mahindra, replaced by Vodafone.
Also mentioned a few times, Westfield are quite adamant they do not want football supporters on their property.
