Hearn at the House of Lords..he was the nuts.

Unfortunately I'm at work. Barry always comes over well.

Any main points of discussion?

Brady hid behind the judicial review, she simply had to answer the question " Are West Ham United happy in principal to ground share with Leyton Orient" she did not want to say no and decided on at least Four occasions to refer that question to the JR. The committee were obviously exasperated by her refusal to answer the question.

Hearn worked the room brilliantly and I thought clearly won over Three or Four of the committee members, but it was also obvious that some were really only worried in financials and knew little of the backround behind LOFCs claim to be included in the legacy.   

Links don't work :-(

Could be my tablet thing.

H£arn is nuts,love the guy.x

Yes, Bazza did well but a couple of points.....
He said West Ham's prospective occupation of the O.S. would have a serious detrimental effect on our already small gate, possibly reducing our support base and finances to a point where within 5 seasons we could look a bit non-league.
Would this effect not occur if we, too, were in the O.S.?  Nobody seems too sure, do they?
So should I take it that the club would leave its home at Brisie in the unsubstantiated hope that more people would come to the new shared stadium?  Some gamble that would be!  Then again, staying put is a big gamble too, isn't it?
Bazza reckoned that more away fans would be attracted to go and see their team at the O.S.  Fair point.  But what about our own fan base?  How can that be made to grow?  Could we come to see differences settled with the West Ham fans?  Would there develop a core of (better off) fans, loyal to the stadium, who turned up every week to watch one team then the other.  Come to think of it, that's what I and my school mates used to do in the old days.
Or would our lot dwindle away as the novelty wears off and a taste for the Premiership develops?
Who knows?
One thing we do know is that Bazza's the "Greatest Ring Master on Earth" and he can certainly run a circus.  Perhaps we should let him do his stuff and relax.
What do you think?

I believe his argument to this, would be that the stadium itself would entice more people along. Like myself going to the Ricoh Arena last year. The Olympic Park is also being heavily marketed as one of the 'goto' places when visiting London. The chances are some would probably goto a match if one was on.


Basically it's s*** or bust. We plod along and hope things improve, or we 'go for it'..

My only concern is our crowd, yes first year or two many people will come just because it's the olympic stadium, but then after that we may struggle if we are still league 1,
