Spurs application given green light

– Tottenham Hotspur have been given approval to play the majority of their home matches next season in front of a capacity crowd at Wembley if they take up an option to play at the stadium.

Brent Council’s planning committee passed the Premier League club’s application to use the full capacity at Wembley by a majority of 5-1, meaning Spurs can fill up to 90 000 seats for at least 27 matches next season.

Tottenham have until March 31 to decide whether to play there or stay at White Hart Lane for next season. –
