Is there any truth in the rumour (quickly gathering pace today), that the Olympic Park is set to be renamed the Samsung Stadium when West Ham take occupancy next season?

umbro was talked about last week for £100,000,000.

Silly question, as we're just renting, do we actually have the ability to rename the stadium? It's not ours and even if the deal happened, would the money go to the government anyway to make up for the cheap deal we're getting?

As I understand it the first 4 million of any naming rights will go to the LLC and we keep the rest.

A correction to my earlier post - The Guardian reports.

"West Ham keep all their ticket revenue while other income streams are shared. Over the first two decades of the stadium’s life, the LLDC will pocket the first £4m of any naming rights deal on the iconic stadium and share anything over that 50-50 with West Ham. "

Nice. Wasnt it a stipulation that the word 'olympic' had to be involved in the naming of the stadium as well. So for example it would be the Samsung Olympic stadium.

I read the deal will be about 6 mill a year which means we pocket only about 1 mill each year. Not bad, but not the mega numbers people are thinking about.
