Leyton Orient in running for Olympic Stadium

Share/Save

Leyton Orient have been placed on the short list for a tenancy of the Olympic Stadium.   Their preferred outcome would be to share the stadium with West Ham United, but the Hammers have rejected such a deal.

West Ham remain the favourites to secure the tenancy.  Also on the short list are Intelligent Transport Services which is teaming up with Formula One to propose hosting Grand Prix races in the park and University College of Football Business, which runs football courses.
