SPURS SCRAP 2012 STADIUM PLANS

The north London club had been known to be keen on moving into the 80,000 venue once the Games were complete – but now say they have had a change of heart.

The stumbling block has been over plans to keep the athletics running track installed after the Games.

Spurs’ sporting director Damien Comolli said: “Clubs say moving to a ground with a track was a mistake. There is no way we are looking to move there.

“Tracks mean a poor atmosphere and a drop in attendances. We will continue to study various options available to us – including remaining at White Hart Lane.”
