Are Leyton Orient really going to get the Olympic Stadium or is this a wind-up?

Just shows how Falmer will never see us in the Premier League. Established Championship club? Yeah, probably. But anyone who thinks we can get into the Premiership with 22,374 is having a laugh.

Portsmouth?
Fulham?
Reading?


And I know you are looking at the long-term future of the club but I'd be very happy if we were an established club in the championship in the early days of Falmer!

Last year it was Watford's Vicarage Road with the capacity of 19,920.

I endorse this, which why I suggested Pende

 

[Gully]

Haven't both Reading and Fulham announced plans to increase the capacities of their grounds?

The search facility reveals you only mentioned Pende 6 times in October. Well done.

And cost the club HOW MUCH ?

Bolton have said that they can't raise their capacity above 28,000. These sort of plans have to be built in to the original design allowing for expansion. Reading (I think) incorporated this possibility in thier design. I don't think they will need it though.

No, not a wind up at all bearing in mind that half of the stadium is going to be removed after the games.

West Ham will definately not be moving there and I read an interview with Barry Hearn where he was sceptical about Orient ever being able to increase their fan base to fill it.

But the plan is for "lower league" football to be played there afterwards.

They are quite literally taking the top tier off (when the games are over) and putting the roof back on.

Has come into a bit of criticism up here, but I think its a good idea. Better than having a huge white elephant of a stadium that is hardly ever filled.

However, the stadium will have a permanent running track and a roof that currently only covers the far back seats.

Who in there right mind would ever play in a stadium like that.

Lots of Gold.
