Leyton Orient owner Barry Hearn says the club will become London Orient if they move to the Olympic Park

Leyton Orient owner Barry Hearn has revealed that he has proposed changing the club's name as part of their plans to move to the Olympic Park.

Subside

Hearn insists that West Ham taking on the stadium alone would amount to nothing more than a state subsidy. "They are owned by two of the richest men in the country so why should the taxpayer effectively service their debt after years of mismanagement by previous owners?," he said. "The stadium needs more than one football club so it is open and attracting people every weekend." Hearn also wants retractable seating installed at a cost of £200million. "As we have said all along the stadium was badly designed and it does not work for football without seats on the track. Temporary seats will make the stadium look like a mishmash. We can get it right but it will cost money," he said. "It is a bitter pill to swallow, but I think Boris will try and do it properly."
