Quote: daftdad "Leyton Orient to move into the olympic stadium with West Ham freeing up Orients ground for RL in the east end of london.'"
Leyton Orient no longer own the ground, it is owned by a separate company that their Chairman is heavily involved in. If the O's do move on I'd suggest it is unlikely the ground will survive as the terms of the sale seem to mean the money would be split between the company and The O's which would probably suit both of them. With flats all but built into the stadium planning permission for further residential development would seem likely.

Who cares?
It has 1 stand.....it would be the worst SL ground and worse than some in the Championship too.....and as for the people that complain about getting to the stoop....this place is served by 1 mainline trainline with 1 train every 20 minutes  |

...it has a 500 seater stand. If we are kicked out of SL it would be perfect for us to buy and develop with a view to re-applying in 6 years or so.....but as it is, we need a ground we can grow into.....
wasn't having a pop windy.....and if we could sort out access and 3 other stands, it would be an option of sorts. How much do East Hull pay for the golf stand?

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

How inspiring as usual to read comments from the usual gloom merchants, David Hughes was simply answering a question posed to him, if he had answered no London RL will never have its own stadium the same people would have been whining in the same voice, no ambition!
None of us know the long term implications with The Stoop and Harlequins RU? Every club an business must or should have a long term business plan, not just pipe dreams or also having the safe option all the time as pure existence and no revenue channels other than match day revenue and merchandise.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

We seemed to manage quite nicely there for five seasons, albeit in the old second division  Seriously, it would make a good centre for RL development and it could be used for our reserve and junior sides but the cost would be beyond us so the RFL might have to cough up some money there. Incidentally, in our time the seating capacity was 625 - you really can't trust estate agents!

Its a tough call. We would want a ground that we could, as gutters says, grow into. 500 is a pretty low starting number. If we were going to satisfy SL Licensing matters, we would need the planning permission and the finance in place to completely redevelop the site for a capacity of, say, 10,000? Going any lower seems pretty pointless even taking into account our current gates. At the moment it certainly isn't fit for purpose.

You'd never get planning permission to develope the site, hence my suggested use. Also, they're only offering a long term lease not the freehold, which might mean that the University sports clubs having guaranteed access to the facilties.

i think this is a pretty good point. how much do we know about what quins ru want. they may see the rl side as an important part of their brand. granted, it does not seem like it at the moment with the amount of investment they have put into the rl side of things. does anyone know who actually owns quins ru? i had a quick rummage, and couldn't find much, but some pub talk i heard people were saying the ru club ower was an rl fan. i don't know how true it is, and i don't know who owns the ru club, but i would like to find out more to see if there is any truth in it. |
