London Assembly member urges mayor to sell stadium to West Ham

London Assembly member urges mayor to sell stadium to West Ham

A London Assembly member wants Mayor Sadiq Khan to sell the London Stadium to West Ham United to stop it losing about £19m annually. The stadium's current 99-year rental deal, signed in 2013, costs taxpayers millions and cannot be renegotiated. West Ham pays up to £2.5m in rent each year, but stadium costs like stewarding and pitch maintenance fall to the public.
