Tomorrow West Ham have the latest in a seemingly endless line of 'save our season ' games. This time it's away at managerless West Brom who are also in the relegation struggle, although not currently the bottom three relegation places. They have sacked their manager after a dreadful run of results, while The Pornographers kept faith with Avram when they found there was no other bugger mad enough to take the job.
How farsighted of them and Ms Brady to have a financial model of occupying the Olympic Stadium based on Championship revenue.
This nightmare has apparently 'moved a step closer' today with West Ham confirmed as preferred bidders. Preferred, that is, by the Olympic Park Legacy Committee, as opposed to those who actually pay money (and emotional anguish) to watch West Ham play football in a football stadium where you can see the players relatively close up.
Apparently, West Ham supporters are now in favour of the move. According to The Pornographer No. 1, they have always been in favour (not that we were ever asked by the club), but even fans' websites now show support. Is it the atavistic desire to beat Spurs at anything (even occupying a new White Elephant)? Is it the serial closures of Upton Park tube that have convinced people of the attractions of Stratford? Is it the shit form of the team that means the further away from the action the better (in which case, Queensland, floods and all, seems about right)? Or have we been converted to the need to maintain a running track for the yout' of East London to practice on?
Wha'ever - it won't be until 2014 and we could be much lower than the Championship by then. But then Westfield will have John Lewis and the shopping in the Olympic Park will be more entertaining than the football.
Not that there's much competition.
