Charlton CEO takes jibe at West Ham's Olympic move

Post by HammersNS1966 »

Charlton's chief executive having a little dig at us here?

"I think we have a very unique and different proposition from West Ham... At Premier League games it’s great, the football is great – but you are just one of the thousands of people and you perhaps don’t feel as part of the community."

Charlton have something better to offer fans than us?! Championship football (perhaps League One, soon) in front of 13,000 vs. Prem football in front of 50,000!

But she does call the move "the deal of the century", so fair play to her there.

I can't argue with too much of what she has said In that piece .

Other than the deal of the century was one we did in the last century when we paid them £50k for Billy Bonds .

That was a far better deal for West Ham than the OS .

I understand that West Ham have gone beyond the stage where a huge marketing campaign is necessary.
There seems little doubt that the OS will be full next season. If the team perform as well as now in the OS then things look very rosy.
