London Stadium costing taxpayer £1MILLION A WEEK to maintain with West Ham’s rent so low it leaves huge shortfall Sponsored by.
The Hammers paid £4.4m rent last season — leaving a huge shortfall, as the stadium required £8.3m to be spent on repairs and fitting solar panels on the roof.
West Ham’s rent is so low it does not even cover the cost of repairs or staging their matches throughout the season.
The £206.7m losses relate to the costs of hosting West Ham and UK Athletics events over the remaining terms of the two agreements.
THE London Stadium cost the taxpayer more than £50million last year — according to the firm that runs the Olympic landmark.
