Ground sharing
It seems to me a simple answer to the Olympic stadium to have either west ham/orient or spurs/orient to ground share.
When orient play you could just open the lower tier to keep the atmosphere and offer free entry to the spurs/west ham fans on their season tickets which would boost the crowds and get extra revenue at the ground so in the long run everyone should be happy as the overheads and general running costs would be cheaper for each club.I'm certain if Stockport came to eastlands it would work pretty well,many city fans used to go to county on a Friday night in the old days and with city practically never playing on a Saturday afternoon,I'm sure the county crowd would be well up on what it is now.I don't know if there is any history/animosity between orient and the other 2 but surely it would make economic sense and if a season ticket entitled supporters to go to each others games then I'm sure the chances of filling the 60k stadium would be higher
Thoughts?

Re: Ground sharing
I don't know what it is in this country, but you would find it hard to find any set of supporters that think sharing a ground is a good idea.
Can't see it happening, been to Orients ground and its not a bad set up, they've made lots of improvements in the last few years.
West Ham will never fill it, they just haven't got the fan base, they aren't and never have been a big club, its just that a lot of London based journalists happen to be West Ham fans that they are kept in the news.
Spuds would have a better chance of filling it, but most of their support are against moving there.
Lets face it, this stadium is the biggest white elephant going.Its bordering on criminal the amount of tax payers money that will go to waste and someone should be held accountable. No thought has gone in to the design to make it a viable project once the games are done with, but hey, its London so they get away with it.
They should have looked at CoMS for a role model, built with a future purpose in mind and not as an after thought.

Re: Ground sharing
We could quite easily do it with Stockport.Buy edgeley park,demolish it and build houses on the land and then use them as a feeder club
