A Conservative MP has warned of the "potential abuse" of Wembley Stadium, amid concerns over EPL sides Tottenham and Chelsea using the "national treasure," according to the PA. Harrow East MP Bob Blackman said that the national stadium's use will increase by 60% should Tottenham temporarily relocate to it during the '17-18 season "while White Hart Lane is redeveloped." The FA has given Tottenham "the option to hire Wembley next season, with the north London club having used the 90,000-capacity stadium for European fixtures this season." Wembley has also been "mooted as a temporary home for Chelsea" as the club moves forward with proposals to build a new 60,000-seat stadium at Stamford Bridge. The stadium is "controlled by Brent Council and can only be used 37 times per year for 'major' events where the full 90,000 capacity is possible -- minor events are capped at a 50,000 capacity." Many of those are "taken up by football events" -- England, Cup finals and the playoffs -- but Challenge Cup rugby league, NFL, rugby union and boxing "also use the stadium on occasion as well as its use as a venue for some of the world's biggest music acts." Blackman said, "I hesitate to spoil your good humor on such a day, however, you'll be aware that Tottenham Hotspur are rebuilding White Hart Lane and as a result we have to find a new home. ... There's an important issue, of course, for my constituency -- which becomes the car park for Wembley Stadium on such event days" (PA, 1/19).
