Karren Brady is confident that West Ham United will be able to fill their 'world class' new ground after being confirmed as the anchor tenants for the Olympic Stadium.
Hearn fight
Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn has vowed to fight Friday's decision as he believes there has been a 'fundamental flaw' in the bidding process.
Hearn is keen for Orient to share the Olympic Stadium and fears for his club's future if they are not allowed to do so, but Brady does not think any fault lies with West Ham.
She explained: "We are very close to them already and we are having sell-out crowds and Barry isn't. We are a Newham-based club, this is a Newham-based stadium. Leyton Orient is from Waltham Forest.
"Barry Hearn has to do what he thinks is right for Leyton Orient and we respect that entirely.
"The sharing process was not in the hands of West Ham. It was for the LLDC to carry out that process. It is not really an issue for West Ham. We complied with the rules of the competition, as did he and everyone who could bid for it."
