Barry Hearn has said that if West Ham move into the Olympic Stadium as sole tenants then he is going to sell Brisbane Road Stadium and relocate the team to Harlow or Romford.

Now if that does happen a 9k stadium can easily be converted into a 10k stadium and give you a permanent home.

The ground as it is is undeveloped but in much the same way that the Stoop was developed stand by stand gradually could Esher be a good base for us?

No, for two reasons.
1. As covered elsewhere the local council blocked development in the past.
2. At the Stoop they were able to develop flats on the old training pitches to fund the redevelopment of the ground. No equivalent source of funds exists at Esher.

Elmbridge Council would veto an extension to Esher Rugby Club as at the moment they are trying to decide between two sites for sports development. One site is the privately owned Walton and Herhsam Football CLub in Stompond Lane which is in need of development, close to the main train line in and out of London and direct trains to the south coast and Woking. It is within close walking distance of the town and close to a number of eating and drinking establishments and if developed caefully will have plenty parking. The other ground is the other end of Walton and already has a leisure centre, gym, training pitches and swimming pool there. The council want to develop this with a stadium and new training pitches and combine with other sports. Maybe that is the way LB should be looking, get in with the council and get a ground share with a football club or get in with a private owner and develop the land between football and rugby.
