YOU BET HAMMERS WON’T EVEN SELL OUT FIRST COMPETITIVE MATCH IN OLYMPIC STADIUM
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on what division West Ham will be playing in when they kick off in the Olympic Stadium for the first time. And Hills also offer 9/4 that there will be no visible athletics track at the stadium and 11/4 that they have installed retractable seating over the track, when they do start playing league games there. ‘West Ham’s status in the football pyramid and whether they will be able to remove or disguise the athletics track are likely to be crucial factors in the success of the scheme’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills remain to be convinced that West Ham will be able to sell out the Olympic Stadium for their first competitive game there, ‘Depending on what division they are in and how reluctant their fans are to travel to the new venue we think they will find it very difficult to sell out competitive games and offer 7/4 that they will be able to do so for their firat competitive game there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
