We can't play our first game at the OS - have to find somewhere else
|

According to this twatter called Uber West Ham
– @UberWestHam
Should West Ham qualify for the Europa League, we would need to find another ground for the 1st game as UK Athletics have use of the stadium
Anyone able to confirm?

Athletics is on there on Fri\\Sat 22\\23 July and potentially our first game if we got in Europa would be Thurs 28th..
Can't remember how long it takes to get prepped for football.

Surely it will depend if we're home or away first leg?

They could just refund the 8 people that had bought tickets for the athletics and cancel it?

As hilarious as it would be if this were true, it isn't. The legs would just be switched round as happened last year.
NEXT year however, could well see this situation occurring.

I'm sure they've thought it through and made the appropriate contingency plans, Gavros.

There's a CHAMPIONSHIP WINDOW for some Athletics stuff that means we cannot have the stadium until the 25th August that season.
There seems to be NO negotiation on this like there is with the yearly Athletics window.

PL rules state that no club can start or end the season with two consecutive home/away games though?
