Hammers gamble on casino partnership (3 August 2004)
English League Division One club West Ham United has unveiled its plans for a £70million integrated entertainments and leisure complex at their Boleyn Ground in East London.

In addition, it will be of major benefit to the locality in terms of employment and economic regeneration.”
