West Ham laugh off Hearn idea
West Ham United,
Last updated:
West Ham have rejected a suggestion from Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn to consider groundsharing at the Olympic Stadium.
Hearn has been a fierce critic of West Ham's bid to become stadium tenants after the Olympics but said recently he would consider a ground-share arrangement for his League One club.
The Hammers insist there have been no talks about such a possibility - nor will there be.
A West Ham statement said: "West Ham United has not held talks with Leyton Orient in respect of ground sharing and nor is it our intention to do so.
"We do not wish to comment on recent statements made by Barry Hearn not least because we can't keep up with his ever-changing position. They continue, however, to provide us with a constant source of amusement."
