WEST Ham United would like to congratulate London for beating
Paris, Madrid, New York and Moscow for the honour of hosting the
Olympics in 2012.
This is not only a great day for London, but the whole of the UK.
Hammers Managing Director, Paul Aldridge, said: "It is a
momentous occasion for British sport and East London. West Ham
United, the only Premiership club situated in the Olympic Borough,
is proud to support the Games and congratulate Lord Seb Coe and his
team, Sir Robin Wales, the Mayor of Newham, and everyone who has
worked so hard to make London¹s bid successful.
"The Olympics in 2012 will not only help to regenerate a wide
area of Stratford and East London, but will bring inspiration and
provide opportunities for young people across the whole of the UK
to get involved and enjoy sport."
Sensational London!
