Councillors will discuss Tottenham Hotspur FC’s request to play another eight games at Wembley, as their wait to move into a new stadium goes on.

Spurs have been playing their home matches at the national stadium this season due to a series of delays on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is built at the site of the old White Hart Lane.

They had hoped to move into their new home this month, but the club confirmed it will be using Wembley until at least March.

Brent Council granted Spurs permission to use the ground for this period, and its planning committee will debate the impact on the local area on Wednesday.

In this latest application, the club has requested permission to play another eight games at Wembley up to May 12.

Of these, three would be open to the full capacity of 90,000 and five would be capped at 62,000.

Spurs still hope to move into the new stadium this season – the game against Crystal Palace on March 16 has been earmarked as the potential opener.

The council has received several objections to the plans, which were published online.

Many are concerned about the impact of the extra games in terms of congestion, littering and noise.

“We appreciate the positive effect that these events have on business in the Wembley area, however, as a family living close to the stadium, road access via car to our flat on event days is already bad as it is,” wrote one objector.

“Adding more opportunities for us to get stuck in badly managed traffic, or not being able to return to our home at all for over two hours before and after each game, doesn’t sound like a good idea at all.

“We also have to contend with inebriated visitors loitering near our property leaving rubbish and making noise.

“As council tax paying residents, we see no benefit to having to plan our lives around stadium events.”
