A new bidding process to find a tenant for the venue begins on Tuesday. Andrew Altman, chief executive of the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), says his organisation is still keen to do a deal withthe Championship side. But he believes the stadium can cover its running costs even if the Hammers do not secure a new rental deal. "We welcome football but it's not solely dependent on football," he said. "There are other combinations of other sports, concerts and activities that can also provide revenue. "What we are going out for provides maximum flexibility for the public sector to make sure we return value for money. We are just looking to see how we can populate the calendar with as many things as we can that can be compatible and work together."
