West Ham won the bid to take over the ground in east London after the games – what do the fans make of that?

I'll miss the old place. Football fans tend to be creatures of habit – I've been going to the Boleyn ground [West Ham's current stadium] for 40 years now, and I've developed an emotional attachment to the place. I know it sounds daft but there is sentiment there; without that, football is just another business. For all its faults, it's still our place.
So I give this decision one and a half cheers. Getting to our ground is a nightmare, in its current state it can't cope with the numbers and expanding doesn't look possible. Stratford has every transport link imaginable, so that will help.
One of the best things about the old Boleyn ground is that you were inches away from the players. We are already further away since they rebuilt it and the atmosphere has suffered. Keeping the running track in the new place will make that worse, but it's probably why we won the bid.
The only other worry is turnout. Our current stadium gets 35,000 but we've got to fill a 60,000 seater now. That might be difficult if we don't stay in the top tier, particularly when some of the older fans might not want to go the new place. But on the plus side, the club is adamant that they will cut ticket prices to get people through the door.

I don't think West Ham necessarily put in a better bid. They are reportedly only offering 20 days of the year to be allocated to athletics, so to say they are preserving an "Olympic legacy" is over-egging it a bit. But they are the local team and Newham council is putting in a £40m loan to back them.
Tottenham wanted a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose project with space for concerts and an extreme sports centre. They would have also regenerated the old National Athletics stadium at Crystal Palace and the White Hart lane site, spreading the legacy to other areas.
I'm not sure if that would necessarily be the best for Newham though, as to have two Premier League teams in one borough would have meant a massive influx of football fans every week.
But I'm not too disappointed, because moving Tottenham away from its roots isn't what most fans want. If Tottenham had got it, Haringey would have been left with a gaping hole – the team's current ground brings in a lot of revenue to what otherwise is a very deprived area.
Haringey is hoping that Tottenham will rebuild the stadium there instead, but chairman Daniel Levy has indicated Spurs might move away from Tottenham anyway.
Plenty of Olympic legacies have fallen into wrack and ruin. If West Ham get relegated they'll find it hard to fill the stadium and revenue may well fall. And their fans will need to be long-sighted to see across the running track.
