Not on 11.3 they don't no. There were still appeals when the data was locked.

How are West Ham going to go about this stadium anyway? Boleyn Ground is currently 35k capacity but after the top tier (temporary) of the Olympic Stadium is removed, its only a 25k all seater. So are they going to redevelop the stadium to add another 25k-plus seated tier?

EDIT: Just read up a bit about it and they are looking to make it 60k capacity.

You've got that wrong mate. The stadium is going to be about 80k during the Olympics and reduced to 60k when West Ham move in. Although there will be a lot of redevelopment needed its not to the extent of what you said.

How have I got it wrong? I know its going to be 80k at the Olympics. But the top tier is only a temporary tier. Only the bottom tier is a fully seated 25k. So if its going to be 60k they need to add 35k seats.

EDIT:

The Olympic Stadium will have a capacity of 80,000 during the Games: 25,000 permanent seats in its permanent lower tier and a lightweight steel and concrete upper tier holding a further 55,000 spectators. The upper tier can be dismantled after the Games.

After the Games, the Stadium can be scaled back to 25,000 seats as required. It will be a venue for sport and athletics, as well as cultural and community events.

From HERE. Maybe there is more work to be done than you think. They do have to wait two years before they can move in after all (all going to plan).

I thought they were moving in pretty uch right after the Olympics, and it clearly says it can be removed, not that it will be.

No they are planning to move in for the start of the 14/15 season.

It’s an 80k stadium that’s going to be redeveloped to a 60k stadium. They were thinking of installing removable seating closer to the pitch (much like one of our stadiums have in Australia), over the running track if I have read correctly.
