yeah heard that on Chris Evans' show this morning. they broke even for ther year thanks to this game, all debts paid off and the trip to the Emirates will now be pure profit. Fantastic stuff. Hope they beat Arsenal and then get the Utd match for them (though doubt it somewhat)

I was on a team once that won a contract worth £300m. The boss took us for a night out at the greyhounds.

I lost £50 but got a free meal worth about £3.99 !

Blatant brag IMO.

Hearn also laid out his plans/hopes for the West Ham Olympic move on Radio 5 yesterday afternoon.

It seems if Orient are not consulted at all he will fight the move in every court, sue the FA the Premier League the Olympic Committee just to try and stuff the move up for as long as possible - he stated he had enough money to make sure this issue never goes away.

If consulted he would quite like Orient to be given the Hockey Stadium within the Olympic park, so he gets all the transport benefits, a new ground for his club, all the development benefits etc etc etc.

A shrewd man that Mr Hearn and to be honest I hope he gets the lot.

of course

 - I may even have exaggerated, it was probably £4.99, to be fair to him.

+1, he seems a very clever chappy.
