THE day has arrived. Finally, we kick-off in the sold-out Olympic Stadium this
afternoon and we are ready.
Mark Noble will lead us out as we make our Olympic claret and blue-print a
reality — and it really has been a Noble cause.
Three years ago, some doubted we could make it work. For no reason other than
self-interest, they questioned our joint vision with Newham Council, our
bold legacy plans on a grand scale.
Opinion was presented as fact and decades of tradition were cast aside in
favour of personal gain. That just Spur-red us on even more.
I’ve received so many positive messages. Even Daniel Levy sent me a message of
good luck from the Bahamas and I will certainly raise a glass to him today.
England manager Harry Redknapp will be my guest after an amazing summer saw us
get World Cup glory again.
His boys back from Brazil brought the trophy home to spend the next 12 months
in our museum and his success is another triumph for the Academy of Football.
Our fans have followed us the short way from Upton Park to Stratford, back to
the old borough of West Ham.
It is great that many are keeping to their usual traditions, visiting the same
pubs they have for generations and meeting up with friends old and new for
pie and mash.
It is about good old East End values and, for us now, the pie’s the limit.
That has been the most fantastic thing about the move, however difficult it
was to leave behind the beloved Boleyn. In a way everything and nothing has
changed at the same time.
We have heard from supporters who had lost touch with the club who are coming
home and we have reached out to so many more who had felt that Premier
League football was beyond them.
We have spent the last three years consulting with supporters and involving
them in what you see today a stunning Olympic Stadium fit for
purpose. We have kept our promises.
We have delivered exactly what we promised.
Football takes centre stage right now but this summer has seen wave after wave
of major events from 107-odd thousand who turned out to see Madonna
in July, to the triumphant third staging of the National School Games in May
after more kids than ever got involved across the country.
We are open all year round and there is always something going on. The Olympic
Stadium has lit a flame in all of us.
When I look out the window on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and see what
great British endeavour has created from the Velodrome to the Aquatic
Centre it is a joy to behold.
Our fans arriving today by rail and car will walk through the John Lyall gates
into an East London transformed an East London that is as strong as
the original Iron Works that forged our great club. Before kick-off at 3pm,
we are going to parade a line of our Olympic heroes.
Yes, there will be the gold medallists from 2012 but there will also be
representatives from all walks of life who played their part in making today
a reality.
This is a community stadium on a grand scale and it has set the bar for the
world to follow.
To look at what we have achieved and even contemplate that the Olympic Stadium
we know and love could have been demolished is enough to make you shudder.
We would not be looking forward to this autumn’s Twenty20 cricket
internationals or the World Athletics Championships in 2017.
And our prospects of bidding for more major events would have been greatly
reduced.
We can look back with pride on February 2011 and know that we all did the
right thing.

Maf is banned so unless Tomkins is about this is going to be a bit one sided.

WHU would be much better without Andy Carroll. Never did match expectations.
Not a big Moyes fan, but he is currently in charge.
Andy Carroll sent home from training after row with Moyes!!
