The design of the £700m Olympic Stadium is so flawed for football use that it has created a 'battleground' for fans, say stadium experts.
One key figure, former Burnley chief executive Paul Fletcher, who advised on the original planning of the stadium, even suggests West Ham's new home should be 'demolished' and rebuilt for football.
Despite spending £280million to reconfigure the arena for football use, the 'London Stadium' will continue to 'breed poor behaviour' from home and visiting fans, it is claimed.
Days after West Ham announced their intention to ban more than 200 fans for crowd trouble during the EFL cup win over Chelsea, a source close to the London Legacy Development Corporation, the local planning authority and joint landlords, has broken ranks to express horror at the situation.
