Premier League club would need to vacate their home for the first three weeks of the 2029-30 season to accommodate the athletics

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/athletics/2 ... ships-bid/
Fears are growing that Britain’s bid to host the World Athletics Championships in 2029 could be scuppered by West Ham United’s reluctance to give up their home for three weeks.

West Ham secured tenancy of the London Stadium after they were given what was considered to be a generous deal but have not agreed to vacate the stadium at the beginning of the 2029-30 season for three weeks while organisers of the athletics event reconfigure the stadium for the nine-day event.

World Athletics has other major cities interested in hosting the event, including Rome, Munich and Nairobi, and prefers a September timescale so that it remains the finale to the athletics season.

Libtards? Ha ha 
Good grief

If we have possession from a certain date then as said we would require compensation to consider it

3 weeks would mean moving one home game to an away game 
Not sure opening with 3 away games is ideal though

With more matches, it will be much more difficult to comply.

I presume the bid committee will be told, 'If it's not in the contract, come back with a large cash offer and we'll think about it'.

With regards to the stadium, pretty much everyone hates us now anyway, so there really isn't anything to gain by being nice.
