Re: US company to takeover the London Stadium?

On a bit of a segue....I note that they've started to not bother retracting the east stand anymore in athletic mode.
This suggests that we could see a permanent east and west lower tier built that is straightened out. 10 metres from pitchside would still accommodate the track and not be too bad by modern stadia standards. The ends will remain moveable while athletics is there though. This would save the owner of the stadium a fortune and also make fans happier. There would be a wedge gap on the side between lower and upper tiers which would accommodate more partay decks.

If agreeing to AEG coming in will ultimately stop us being able to buy the stadium, why on earth would we vote for it..?
It will tell us much about the Daves if they let this one through...

I imagine sweeteners will be offered.
Certainly good for G&S and probably (possibly?) good for the fans

That it's from C&H is all you need to know - including these statements:
"An unconfirmed rumour received"
"ClaretandHugh have been unable to corroborate the rumour"
The rest of the article is all about AEG themselves and nothing about why and how they would take over. Even Gavvy's ramblings are more pertinent then this crap.

its just whetstone trying to come up with stuff. probably just daydreamed it while at work.
of course its possible that they will outsource to a private firm but as stands that would include ongoing subsidy to take it off the governments hands. a private operator would however likely be far more flexible, as the political heat would be off.
