West Ham Submit Olympic Stadium Bid

West Ham and Newham Council have submitted a joint bid to move into the Olympic Stadium after the 2010 London Olympics.

Some key proposals of the joint West Ham and Newham Council bid include:

• capacity reduced to 60,000
• the retention of the athletics track around the pitch
• a second running track next to the stadium, (which athletics club Newham and Essex Beagles would use)
• The University of East London would have access to the stadium's sport and learning facilities
