West Ham players taken down from London Stadium
Work has already started to install a state of the art HD screen at the London Stadium. Construction workers have removed temporary fabric players containing West Ham players under the illuminated West Ham United sign in preparation for the installation of the massive TV screen. This picture taken on Monday afternoon shows that the 12 metre fabric banners of Payet, Reid, Noble, Antonio and Kouyate have now been removed.
The high-definition (HD) screen, which will measure 83m wide by 12m high will be the largest TV screen in Europe. West Ham Vice Chairman, Karren Brady announced it would not be installed until the Sunderland game on 22nd October but now it appears it will be installed ahead of the original schedule.
The stadium wrap is thought to have cost £5m but a recent Freedom of Information request to the London Legacy Development Corporation revealed the costs would be spilt between stadium owners E20 Stadium LLP and West Ham United.
