Amazingly dismissive. Pretty unprofessional

• Leyton Orient chairman willing to share Olympic Stadium
• Hammers: 'We can't keep up with his ever-changing position'

West Ham have rejected a suggestion from the Leyton Orient chairman, Barry Hearn, to consider groundsharing at the Olympic Stadium.
Hearn has been a fierce critic of West Ham's bid to become stadium tenants after the Olympics but said recently he would consider a ground-share arrangement for his League One club. The Hammers insist there have been no talks about such a possibility – nor will there be.
A West Ham statement said: "West Ham United has not held talks with Leyton Orient in respect of ground sharing and nor is it our intention to do so.
"We do not wish to comment on recent statements made by Barry Hearn not least because we can't keep up with his ever-changing position. They continue, however, to provide us with a constant source of amusement."

"..I also find it insulting that qpr-reports site are asking so many questions. They seem to want to know everything that goes on at the club..."

Classic!
Mac, you just have to say the quote with a John Cleese stiff, dry, upper class English accent. It's a "letter to the Times" thing...
i don't think it's meant to offend.

Hearn needs to wise up that Orient are and probably always will be a small club (unless some extraordinary events occur where they reach the summit) due to their lack of success in their history and dominance of their close neighbour West Ham. I was born and bred in East London so I know.
Whether West Ham play at the Olympic stadium or not it won't effect Orient's attendances. I even know a few hammers fans who go and watch Orient.
