Hemery says the west of London is a better option for the new athletics stadium, which would be used in the bid to stage the 2005 World Championships.
The plans to convert Twickenham have been given a cautious welcome by the leader of the local Borough Council.
That is unlikely to be enough to build a stadium from scratch, unless the sport could find further external support, so a partnership with an existing stadium, such as Twickenham, is believed to be the most probable outcome.

 The Rolling Stones @ Twickenham Stadium, London : gig review
Once Starsailor had departed to warm applause from a rapidly filling stadium the excitement grew to fever pitch.
If the roar for Paint It Black was not enough the best front man in the business skipped from one side of the cavernous stadium to another, flailing his arms at front and back row alike, shouting "Are you Ready!" To which the answer was deafeningly obvious.
The roar for the encore was as loud as Twickenham hears for an English Try and the Stones didn't disappoint, with Jumping Jack Flash and deafening fireworks ending the consummate show.

 U2, Twickenham Stadium, July 18 2005
Though some of Bono’s sermonising and proselytising may appear naïve and heavy-handed, it’s worth remembering that very few bands of their stature — indeed, very few bands at all — have anything to say by way of protest.
The concept of a band well over 25 years into their careers re-inventing the stadium gig is a patently ludicrous idea and yet here are U2 doing exactly that.
For them, this isn’t an excuse to rest on their laurels and swell the bank account thanks to a set of crowd-pleasing greatest hits, but a responsibility to communicate and educate with the same fervour and hunger that fired them in the first place.

The Rolling Stones continued to defy the physical symptoms of ageing and flu, to deliver one of their strongest performances in the last decade to 60,000 fans on their home ground of Twickenham.
Strangely, only mobile-phone cameras are allowed in the stadium (something to do with the sponsor) but don't worry - for a souvenir, you can purchase a choice of 'professionally shot' official photos after the event, or a DVD of the performance, as it's all being filmed.
Signs warn that entrance to the event confirms your permission to be filmed, so, presumably, those who are camera shy or on witness protection schemes can purchase their '40 Licks' facemask in the foyer.
