Barry Hearn has labelled West Hams Olympic Stadium deal as outrageous for the taxpayer.Details of the full deal between West Ham and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) have now been published, showing the Hammers will pay £2.5m a season to play 25 games at the Olympic Stadium.The contract, published after a tribunal ruled earlier this week that it should be made public, also reveals that the club will not be billed for heating, policing, stadium and pitch maintenance, and even corner flags. My dog could have negotiated a better deal than this. Barry Hearn You welcome this coming into the public domain, said former Leyton Orient chairman Hearn, who wanted Orient to be allowed to share the Olympic Stadium with West Ham.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Hearn said: The LLDC have fought tooth and nail not to release these details and when you read them, you can understand why, because its obviously a huge embarrassment to them. The Olympic Stadium, pictured during the Rugby World Cup He added: Good luck to West Ham. Theyve done the best job that they could do for themselves. Theyre free from criticism.The people negotiating on behalf of the Government really need to take a look in the mirror.This is an outrageous deal for the taxpayer - £728m of stadium, £272m to convert it specifically to a football venue, West Ham paying £2.5m a year - doesnt sound too bad... but then you realise that the stewarding, the turnstile operators, the police, the cleaners, the ground maintenance - all are being paid for by the stadium. Hearn says West Ham are free from criticism but the Government need to take a look in the mirror Does this give West Ham an unfair advantage over their rivals? Is it anti-competitive under European law? These are questions that will be asked over the next few weeks.As far as Im concerned, my dog could have negotiated a better deal than this.Its put West Ham into the major league. Its added hundreds of millions of pounds to the worth of West Ham - an iconic venue, essentially rent-free, subsidised, £15m of capital and theyre allowed to sell their own ground for residential purposes. Sky Sports News HQ reporter Anton Toloui investigates the cost of West Hams deal to play at Londons Olympic Stadium TaxPayers Alliance chief executive Jonathan Isaby said the contract was ludicrously generous and the deal of the century.He added: Those of us footing the bills deserve a proper explanation.West Ham, who have a 99-year tenancy on the 60,000 capacity Olympic Stadium and will start playing there next season, paid £15m to help convert the stadium - work which cost £272m in total. The Boleyn Ground could now be sold for housing development An LLDC spokesperson said: We are disappointed by the tribunals decision.Our motivation in bringing this case has been to protect millions of pounds of taxpayers money. The stadium needs to be a profitable and successful commercial operation, otherwise it will rely on public subsidy.A West Ham statement read: It is a stadium that the nation can be proud of and we believe it will become one of the greatest football stadiums in the world.West Ham United were named anchor concessionaire of the stadium after a fair, transparent and robust process open to any organisation in the world.We were unanimously chosen. We offered the best deal and the only option for a true and lasting legacy for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.Also See:West Hams rent revealedWest Ham fixturesHammers striker shortlist?WATCH: West Ham surpriseJoba Chamberlain Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Joe DiMaggio Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Custom Yankees Jersey China . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.FRESNO, Calif. -- Arion Worthman is supposed to be the Air Force quarterback of tomorrow. Problem was, the Falcons needed him Friday to keep their free-falling bowl game hopes solvent.With the starting quarterback injured, and Air Force staring at a fourth straight loss, Worthman came off the bench midway through the third quarter and rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns to rally the Falcons to a 31-21 win at Fresno State.Coming off three straight losses, I knew I had to do everything I could to give us a chance to win, said Worthman, who entered the game with one rush and one pass in his career. I wanted to help our seniors finish strong.Air Force (5-3, 2/3 Mountain West Conference) can clinch a third straight postseason bowl with a victory Saturday at Army, or in any other of its final four games.As for the Bulldogs (1-8, 0-5), they lost a seventh consecutive game for just the second time in school history, joining the 1929 team, and matched the second-worst start in program history.Worthman was just the spark the Air Force game, and season, needed. Falcons coach Troy Calhoun was in no mood to discuss any potential quarterback controversy when asked who will start next week.Thats not something we have to answer right now, Calhoun said.Senior captain Nate Romine appeared to injure his ankle on a 2-yard carry with 6:19 remaining in the third quarter. Fresno State had just taken a 21-17 lead on KeeSean Johnsons third touchdown of the day, a 52-yard catch and dive to the pylon.It was crazy, Worthman said. Nate went down, and our whole sideline went quiet. I heard them shouting my number -- `2-2-2! and I knew it was my time to go.Fresno State, playing its first game since head coach Tim DeRuyter was fired, soon wished it hadnt knocked out the starting quarterback.Worthman showed an instant burst of speed running the triple option on keepers around the edge, and used his stout frame to muscle through the pile on interior runs.And, run, Air Force did. Worthman dropped back for one pass out of 31 plays, and was dropped for a sack with no attempted throws. Everything else was Air Force showing off the nations fifth-ranked rushing offense -- this time, with a quarterback leading the way.Worthman leaped into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown to give the Falcons a 24-21 lead with 13:02 left in the game. He sealed the win with a 4-yard keeper with 2:34 to play.Oh my gosh, Arion was awesome, senior tailback Jacobi Owens said.dddddddddddd Im proud of him. It makes our team even better. We definitely needed to win. Were happy to get out of that slump.THE TAKEAWAYAIR FORCE: The Falcons have struggled on pass defense all season, but used four interceptions to turn back the Bulldogs. One, an end zone interception by Brodie Hicks, stopped Fresno State from taking a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Another, by Patrick Healy for a 35-yard touchdown return, capped a 17-0 Falcons run. The (first) pick was really huge, Calhoun said. One stopped points, one converted into points. We needed both.FRESNO STATE: The Bulldogs are out of bowl-game contention, so their attention is focused on finding the next head coach to replace DeRuyter. Local media reports name former Cal coach Jeff Tedford, a former Fresno State player and offensive coordinator, as the clear front runner. Tedford has long-running ties with Fresno State athletic director Jim Bartko from their mutual time at Oregon. Other potential candidates include Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, a former Fresno State quarterback, and former USC coach Steve Sarkisian.KEY NUMBERSAir Force: Kicker Luke Strebel made a conference-record 22 consecutive field goals before missing one in the previous game against Hawaii -- and then missed a 27-yard attempt in his first try Friday. The junior made up for it with a 27-yard field goal in the third quarter.Fresno State: Sophomore wide receiver KeeSean Johnson entered the game with three career touchdowns -- then matched that in a single game with scores of 36-, 2- and 52-yards. Johnson finished with 10 catches for a career-best 142 yards.Last wordSometimes I think we tend to give up on kids too quickly after they make mistakes, and that sends a bad message. I believe that leaving Chason (Virgil) in was the right decision. -- Fresno State interim coach Eric Kiesau, on not changing quarterbacks.UP NEXTAIR FORCE: The Falcons can win the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy for a record 19th outright time with a win next Saturday at Army. Air Force beat Navy 28-14 on Oct. 1 in the first leg of the round robin.FRESNO STATE: The Bulldogs hope to avoid the second 1-8 start in school history, dating to 1921, in next Saturdays trip to Colorado State.
