Livingstone Suggests West Ham Site

London Mayor Ken Livingstone has suggested a site for a new West Ham stadium. The site, owned by the London Development Agency (LDA), is near West Ham underground station and could give Hammers chairman Eggert Magnusson the opportunity to relocate the club away from Upton Park.

A statement from the Olympic Board read, "The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, told the board that he is anxious to assist and support West Ham's plans for developing and securing the future of the club and that, following discussions with him, West Ham are now exploring with the LDA the possibility of relocating and building a new stadium."
