The costs involved in preparing the Hammers’ new home for the AC/DC concert tomorrow are estimated to exceed any profit the gig may produce.
The legendary band will step on stage before thousands of fans but the work involved in getting the OS ready has ruffled a few feathers among some of those aware of what’s been going on behind the scenes.
Inside sources among the builders told ClaretandHugh: “The entire building work had to stop for seven days and contractors had to clear vast quantities of their stuff.
It looks likely to us the extra building costs created by this vacation of the site will exceed any income from AC/DC and this forgets the fact things are all delayed a week.”
We revealed earlier this morning that the stadium recorded zero income despite 12 major events being held there at a time when the Hammers have long been unfairly criticised over their rent levels as new anchor tenants.
