I googled it as nobody seems to know. Apparently West Ham trousered anything up to the £70 million that they valued it on their books. So great deal for the 'ammers and stuff the tax payer. The Olympic Stadium was a typical British White Elephant with no realistic plan in place to do anything with it other than strip it back to bare bones and make it maybe a 20,000 seat athletics stadium to be used twice a year. Had they engaged with a West Ham or a Spurs or even the FA then Lord Coe's legacy might have happened had the stadium been designed with football in mind rather than athletics. Instead West Ham pay peanuts per year unless there's an annual inflation clause in the agreement. They will trouser at least £100 million per year from the new TV agreements as long as they don't get relegated.
