Hammers confirm Olympic Stadium bid

West Ham have confirmed that they have submitted a bid to become tenants of the Olympic Stadium in London after the 2012 Games.

The Hammers won the original contest to move to the stadium in Stratford last year, but that deal collapsed following complaints from Tottenham, Leyton Orient and another anonymous party.

The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) decided to start the process over again but instead offer the stadium on a lease basis, rather than a permanent one.
