eyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn fears West Ham's proposed move to the Olympic Stadium will spell the end for the League One club.[LNB] Hearn's Upton Park counterpart David Sullivan this week voiced his anger over Tottenham's rival bid for the venue.[LNB]But Hearn has hit out at Sullivan, telling the Evening Standard: "If he is worried about Tottenham then he can only begin to have sleepless nights about the aggravation I'm going to give him if he moves on my doorstep.[LNB]"This is total hypocrisy on his part. This is a case of Tesco moving next to the little sweet shop on the corner as far as I'm concerned.[LNB]"A club that has a 30-35,000 support base is moving into an 80,000-seater stadium. It obviously means very cheap tickets and it means a death knell for Leyton Orient, the Football League's second oldest club."
