Leyton Orient have submitted an application to the Football League for permission to move into the 2012 Olympic Stadium after the Games. O's chairman Barry Hearn said: "We are asking for a 25,000-seat stadium and we want to see if we can get around the athletics track. It has to stay, we know that. But can we build up, if not down, and see if it's possible to get it covered while we play?"

"We have submitted an application for permission to move to the Football League, and that permission is something that West Ham don't yet have.
"It was the Premier League who gave them the green light to move in their original plan, but they are no longer members of the Premier League.
"The rules are that the Football League would not sanction a club moving closer to another club if it affects the business of that other club, and there's no doubt that West Ham moving there would affect us.
"West Ham can't just assume that they will be in the Premier League by then. How, therefore, can the Olympic Park Legacy Company, whose job it is to decide who takes over the stadium, allow West Ham to remain in the bidding process? We want them thrown out because they don't have permission from the relevant authority - the Football League."
What next for the Brady Bunch?

I bet they mistook the words Tottenham Hotspur for "hot totty" in regard to stadium sharing.

don't mean to be disrepectful to spurs or west ham but i don't think any of the mentioned should get the OS i thought they were rules stating you must play within your own area or something to that effect it would put orient out of business they're probaly struggling as it is the young kids in that area will jump ship and go and support spurs of west ham IMO
