Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

[ornchurch ammer]

News outlets will print anything these days. What a non story.

It was clearly an accident, which can be resolved.

Not the point. It shouldn’t happen.

Going overdrawn and in to an overdraft can incur charges. Yes it can be resolved but it is an arse ache and you need to spend valuable time resolving it.

Naming rights available to West Ham for £4m a year…

[E15Iron]

Betway Bowl....

[dasnutnock3]

"The Craig Dawson Arena", clearly the obvious, and only, choice.

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

The Bowl in Stratford?

Nah.

[thamesideiron]

Nice of her (garner) to flog us the naming rights...

"Will I give the naming rights..Yes I would.."Never knew she owned it...there you go..
The word you are looking for is WE...another ego tripper by sounds.

Tell yer what Lyn lets call it quits....And I would be very proud to walk into the Queen Elizabeth the 11 Stadium.

So if we don't take them for £4m a year and they stay unused for the next 10 years then they will lose another £40m in lost revenue.
Offer them £1m a year now take it or leave it, it's obvious they cant sell them without us.
Going public with this has a whiff of desperation about it.

[Claret&Blue,Thru&]

Betway Bowl....

Prefix Eliza.

Well they couldn’t/can’t even sell them at a level that would have paid little to nothing to the Club ( can’t remember the amount discussed but not very different to that sum overall) but are willing to sell them to us for 4 mill a year. In the present climate and with the Club little more high profile in reality as yet than when that (didn’t) happen those years back it just doesn’t seem very attractive an offer. Might change if there is consistent and successful European football over the next few years and/or the new prospective owner has reason to cross link other of his businesses or those he does business with ( maybe enquiries have gone in there triggering this comment) but don’t see any likely imminent move on this front tbh

Just a quick question. I'm going to buy tickets for European home game in a couple of weeks. Are junior tickets up to 15?

I maintain that naming it after Queen Elizabeth in some form should happen soon and is a charming option for all kinds of identity reasons. And it would make it very hard to name it after a sponsor, which is a good thing in my book.
And no, this is not a royalist speaking.

[Coops]

It's weird because I am also not a royalist at all, but I also like the idea of naming after the late Queen, and if they did I might even stop calling it the bowl of despair. It wont happen though. Naming rights will be a commercial decision, it will probably be named after a betting company.

You’re not wrong there.
Had they had the initial foresight to allow the premier league and historically branded club to conduct sponsorship then they may not have gone sliding in to debt. I’d be inclined to say no not interested and allow them to give up something much more valuable.

[Barking Iron]

Would it be more financially beneficial to name it the queen Elizabeth II stadium in terms of attracting more fans worldwide ?

[Romfordboy]

This could really help us financially if the gov force us to give up the betway sponsorship

Getting a shirt and stadium sponsor when we are having a lot media time could really be a money spinner

As opposed to the huge stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park?

E20/LLDC/OPLC (whatever they want to call themselves this week) running of the stadium has been an absolute shambles with the latest comments being farcical. No one is willing to pay them £4m because it isn't tied in with the club (which is the key issue with the ground and all the problems they're having) - it's almost as if they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces in that they are ether going to get that £4m or they are happy to receive nothing at all providing the club dont benefit from it. Easy to justify when you're cash rich, not so easy to justify as a public body when you are hemorrhaging money every year.
