Dear Sirs

Please see the Newham Council Sports Stadium Safety
Certificate for the subject title and in particular I draw you attention to the crowd capacity of 35,000 in appendix 2.

It beggars belief this stadium has cost £1/2 billion and has
a capacity of a stadium built in the last century.

It is inconceivable that the Stadium will be expected to
have only 35,000 spectators at any one given time, e.g.forthcoming Rugby World
Cup and West Ham home games; hence I call upon the Sports Stadium Authority to
investigate this irregularity regarding the stadium capacity.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Dear Mr Mayor

Can help thinking 1/2 billion pounds for a 35K capacity
crowd does not meet good value
guidelines.

With

Thanks
