STADE NEWS
OLYMPIC STADIUM FINANCES TO BE DISCLOSED
Concerns have been raised over the amount the club are paying towards the conversion costs for the stadium, and its annual rental and contribution to matchday costs.
The Hammers are due to move into the stadium for the start of the 2016/17 season.
THREAT TO SAINTS TRAINING GROUND
A public enquiry is scheduled for November, although the club have indicated it may be about to reach agreement with Perth and Kinross Council.
Original plans for the road which would have seen the North Stand demolished have now been shelved.
NEW RAILWAY STATION FOR THE RICOH
The £3.4M station on the Nuneaton to Coventry line is operated by the London Midland train company, who could lose the contract to run the line if another operator can provide a better service to the stadium.
EURO 2016 FANS CONCERN
The Ligue 1 game at the Stade Velodrome, one of the tournament venues, was delayed for 20 minutes after missiles were thrown and the teams returned to the dressing rooms.
The match eventually resumed with riot police surrounding the pitch.

EUROSTADE REPORT
Tivoli Stadium Alemannia Aachen
Replacing the nearby Old Tivoli, the 33,000 capacity ground has witnessed the club's demise down to its current position in the 4th tier Regionalliga West of German football - Aachen were a Bundesliga club as recently as the 2006/07 season.
Tivoli is a fully enclosed all-seater stadium, and features the home fans Bitburger (a local beer) wall in the South Stand.
Alemannia enjoy huge crowds for their current level of football, and the club's aim is an eventual return to the top-flight.
Aachen certainly have the stadium to once again grace the Bundesliga, and host the very best of German football.
