The recent fight for the usage of the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 games has been resolved with West Ham being granted the privilege. But is it a privilege? And is it based on commercial intentions or what is best for sport?
I went to a West Ham vs Manchester Utd Carling Cup game at a packed Upton Park back in December last year and the atmosphere was like nothing I have ever experienced. West Ham won the game 4-0 and every goal made the ground shake. Exciting the home fans and players and intimidating for the visitors.
