West Ham will pay just £2.5million per year to occupy the Olympic Stadium, but their landlords will provide the goalposts.
The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), the publicly-funded authority which owns the stadium, on Thursday published its full deal with West Ham, who will take up their 99-year tenancy in August.
And the deal shows the LLDC must meet running costs for the likes of: utilities; the pitch preparations, including undersoil heating and floodlights; goalposts, goalnets, and corner flags; the 'dugouts' for managers, substitutes and the fourth official; changing rooms; and security, cleaning and pest control.
An Information Tribunal on Monday rejected LLDC's appeal against a London Assembly ruling that the contract between it and the Premier League club should be made public.
LLDC, which is responsible for transforming venues used for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, declined to take up the option to appeal and the contract was published in full on Thursday after a redacted version was made available last October.
