West Ham took the Olympic Stadium 11.02.2011

Ultimately responsible for the Olympics in 2012, which will be held in London, decided after the race to be a stadium for the use of West Ham, who currently plays his Upton Park.

"Hammers" were competing for management of the Olympic Stadium along with Tottenham. Ultimately, the facility built in Stretford, east in the British capital will belong to West Ham.

West Ham project provides for the maintenance of the running track around the football pitch. While the design of Tottenham was to destroy fully, to make a new facility without a runway. Perhaps the desire to preserve the Olympic stadium in its current form is heavy on the scales in favor of West Ham.

Former President Alan Sugar at Tottenham aggrieved told Sky Sports News: "Just because maintaining the running track by the West Ham Stadium contribute to judgments in their favor. But all confused. Can not operate a football stadium with running track around it" said Sugar.

It is interesting to recall Mr Sugar how to this day the Roman and Lazio Roma continue to play the Olympic Stadium in Rome, which has a running track.
