that the first game in the Olympic Stadium will be WHU v NCFC, anybody else heard this?.......

Tonights London Evening Standard says otherwise........

That game is the last home game of 2015/16 season next May.

I think it''s unlikely, the Premier League haven''t announced next season''s fixtures yet-we haven''t even started this season!

Sorry, I should have been more specific, the game will be a pre -season friendly to reciprocate for playing them to mark the 80th annivesary of CR........

it''s a good rumour, but I don''t think it will still be called ''Olympic Stadium''  once West Ham move in

[Mr Angry 2,023]

I think it''s more likely that it will be against a Boris Johnson Select XI, to thank him for his support in getting the deal approved even though it contravenes the regulations about teams moving in to stadiums within a certain distance of another team (Orient)

I''d be amazed if that was true... you''d think they''d want to attract a real European powerhouse for their first game in their new stadium, no?
