Fans of eight London football clubs have united to call for a full public inquiry into the awarding of the Olympic Stadium to West Ham.

Supporters groups of clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic have published a petition in which they demand further scrutiny on the agreement between the east London club and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), which will see West Ham rent out the 54,000 capacity stadium.

The petition comes in the wake of a BBC documentary earlier this month which claimed that much of the stadium’s running cost would not be paid by West Ham.

The following supporters trusts are supporting this call: Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leyton Orient, QPR1st and Tottenham Hotspur.

A spokesperson for the coalition said: “The fact that so many supporter groups have come together to call for this inquiry shows that the issues raised go beyond football tribalism.

“As football fans and as taxpayers, we want to see the preservation of fair competition and full transparency in public finances. This shady deal is not in the interests of the game of football and does little to promote public confidence in the way our money is being spent.”

In the petition, which currently has over 1,000 signatures, the coalition said: “West Ham has only contributed £15m towards the £272m conversion costs of the Olympic Stadium, with the taxpayer footing the rest of the bill.

“Considering the cost to the taxpayer, and the effect of this taxpayer subsidy on competition between clubs, a full public inquiry into the deal is needed.”

West Ham have confirmed to Standard Sport that they will not be issuing an additional statement in response to the petition. After the documentary had aired a club spokesman said: “It should be remembered that during a fair, open and robust process that was open to any party or organisation in the world, West Ham United were chosen as the group that delivered the best long-term, viable future for the Stadium and the best return for the taxpayer.

“Our presence underwrites the multi-use legacy of the Stadium and our contribution alone will pay back more than the cost of building and converting the stadium over the course of our tenancy…

“Without us, the Stadium would lose money. With us, the public purse will see a return on the hundreds of millions of pounds that were committed to build the Stadium, long before West Ham's association had begun.”

In the wake of the BBC programme shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant called for details of the agreement to be published “as a matter of urgency”.
