Tottenham Granted Permission To Continue Playing At Wembley

Tottenham was given permission to continue playing its home matches at Wembley until its new stadium is ready -- "but at a reduced capacity," according to the BBC. The club was due to move into its new White Hart Lane stadium in September but the project "has suffered a number of construction delays." Tottenham initially agreed to continue playing at Wembley until the end of the year. It can now play there "indefinitely" but with a reduced capacity of 51,000. A planning application to Brent Council is required to increase the capacity to 62,000, with "additional limited exceptions" at 90,000. The stadium is not expected to open until January "at the earliest." The club said that it will provide a further update on the stadium's progress in December (BBC, 11/11).
