Went there before a Rugby WC game. I can quite imagine them not wanting West Ham fans after a game, especially on a Saturday as they'll have plenty of customers anyway.
The whole West Ham/Olympic saga gives me really conflicting feelings
1) That it's a disgrace that West Ham has been given a taxpayer funded new stadium, to push them to the next level at the expense of other neighbouring clubs
but on the other hand
2) That the new stadium they've been given is actually a terrible stadium for football, and thus will actually harm them

In the event that West Ham do go down, who would be taking the hit financially from the predictably lower gate receipts? And would West Ham's rent be amended accordingly?
Why, you, of course. Did you really need to ask?
West Ham's rent is cut by 50% to £1.25 m. Since the overheads are unlikely to drop by anything like that amount, they will effectively be paid to play there .

It happens all the time. I'm sorry, landlord, I'm likely to do such a bad job that I'll get demoted at work sooner or later, so can my tenancy agreement include a clause that you will let me off half my rent? Yes, of course, no problem.

I thought so but I'd hate to be one of those berks being anti-West Ham without having all the facts straight.
Crowd noise through pa is Gold do you hear me Gold
Am I understanding this right? They are pumping crowd noise through the speakers? Seriously?
Oh, my days...
When I was at their Europa League debacle a few weeks ago I'm 99% sure that I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles (including the bit where the music cuts and it's just the fans supposed to be signing) was being helped along over the PA system.
I fully expect to hear a pumped up 50,000 Valley crowd singing 'Roland In' and 'We love you Katrien, we do' once she's cottoned on. Even if the attendance is 6,000.
That comment from Gold sums it up, he just cares about the money. Plenty of comments below criticising him as he seems to somehow think that a large capacity = guaranteed success. Tell that to Newcastle.

EA Sports are using the stadium today for the FIFA launch. Is this classified as West Ham useage as in Football mode? Or put through separately through Landlords.
