West Ham & The Olympic Stadium

The Guardian today argue that Eggert Magnusson is determined to move West Ham from The Boleyn to the new Olympic stadium. It claims that West Ham's new chairman will meet in the next few weeks the Olympic Delivery Authority and government ministers.

Apparently Magnusson is prepared to accept a permanent running track, to be covered over with retractable seating. The paper suggest that West Ham and the government could agree that the club buy the £100 million stadium in instalments.
