West Ham will not have to pay for a range of staff including cleaners and turnstile operators when they move into the Olympic Stadium next year.

Heating and lighting costs will also be covered by the stadium managers, the London Legacy Development Corporation.

In August, the BBC revealed a large number of "facilities and services" would be paid for by the grantor - the publicly-funded LLDC - and not the club.
These included the cost of stadium utilities, maintaining the pitch, and the goalposts and corner flags.

Below is a list of other items, outlined in the agreement made public on Thursday, which the Hammers will not have to fund:

Undersoil heating and floodlighting
Ticket office and turnstiles
Drug testing and medical facilities
Concession areas cleared of snow and ice as required
Team changing rooms, plus changing rooms for ball persons and officials
Security, cleaning, pest control
Stadium tannoy, generator, CCTV surveillance system and monitors
LED pitch-side signage, scoreboards and jumbo video screens at each end of the pitch

And still we aren't being given the full details of the deal! :nono:

The views are going to be shit from nearly every seat.

Especially behind that big screen-or does it move so everybody gets pissed off during events?
