2011A decision is made: the Olympic Stadium will be sold to West Ham after the GamesA decision is made: the Olympic Stadium will be sold to Tottenham Hotspur after the Games
2012The London Olympics are a great success. Many world records are broken in the iconic stadium.
2013West Ham kick off their tenantship of the Olympic Stadium with a Division 1 home match against Accrington Stanley. Fans bring binoculars.The Olympic Park reopens to the public, but with an unattractive stadium-sized demolition site at its heart.
2014 West Ham kick off their second season at the Westfield Olympic Stadium with a Division 2 home match against Rushden & Diamonds.A completely different stadium is emerging. Few tourists want to go up the Orbit tower to view a non-Olympic building site.
2015Even half full feels half empty. Fans nickname the ground Tumbleweed Stadium.Olympic Hotspur kick off their tenantship of the McFlurry Stadium with a Premiership clash against Chelsea.
2016West Ham host the national athletics championships. Some spectators turn up. Crystal Palace stadium closes down.Britain loses out on its bid to host the 2018 World Tiddlywinks Championships, because our international athletics reputation is zero.
2017West Ham host the Rugby World Cup - the most exciting thing to happen here for five years. The stadium is packed three times.The cheapest Spurs season ticket costs £3000. Increased funds bring in star international players and a cupboard of silverware.
2018Prime Minister Boris Johnson is forced to resign over the West Ham Toxic Legacy debacle.Teenage football fans in N17 have all switched allegiance to Arsenal, the traitorous bastards.
2019West Ham enter into a ground-sharing agreement with Leyton Orient and Essex County Cricket Club. Profits start to rise.Pink Floyd's Reunion Tour includes 33 consecutive nights at the Filet-o-Fish Stadium, much to the displeasure of local residents.
2020After Wembley closes for urgent pitch renewal, the FA confims that the Cup Final is to be switched to Stratford.Spurs' owners sell off the club and stadium, because they can, and rake in an absolute fortune. Taxpayers fume impotently.
2021House prices in the Olympic Park Village continue to rise, as community sports facilities prove attractive.Spurs' new owners suddenly go bankrupt, due to carbon-trading irregularities, and the club's proud history ends.
2022Under David Beckham's managerial leadership, West Ham claw their way back to the top flight.The Westfield Car Boot Sale takes place in the Old Hotspur Arena every Sunday morning.
