Leyton Orien chairman Barry Hearn feels his club will not survive if West Ham United are given the rights to move into the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games.
The Hammers have been battling Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a bid to move into the Stratford venue, an area that borders Leyton where Hearn's League One O's are based.
He has urged Prime Minister David Cameron and the Premier League not give the go-ahead to the top flight club to move into the stadium.
"I do not blame West Ham. They are only looking after their own interests. The culprits here are the Government and the Premier League. I am asking the Government not to rubber-stamp the decision before they undergo due process in taking into account the effects on the incumbent resident football club," he said.
"To have a giant of West Ham's stature on our doorstep offering discounted and free tickets would seriously bring into question the survival of Leyton Orient. Let's be frank, the floating fan at a school in this area is going to be much more impressed by Premier League football than by League One." Cameron has also written to London Mayor Boris Johnson, Minister for Sport and the Olympics Hugh Robertson and Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in a bid to deny the Hammers getting the green light.
"I expect replies from all four gentlemen. This is a very difficult time for Leyton Orient Football Club. We have been in existence for 130 years and we have been at this ground since 1937. By any stretch of the imagination we are the incumbent local club," he added.
"I don't like being bullied by the big boys. The only way to front up a bully is to push him on the back foot. I find it absolutely staggering the lack of respect for Leyton Orient.
"I'm not looking to be controversial or antagonistic. My efforts are solely aimed at the sustainablity of this club. No-one wants a judicial review but football is a focus point of communities in this country and has a voice which deserves to be heard.
"Rules are not made just to read and ignore. Rules are made to govern. The governance of the Premier League and the control they have of being able to say yes or no makes them financially liable for any breach of those rules themselves."
