The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) has told Tottenham Hotspur it would be happy to discuss the prospect of Spurs playing home games at the Olympic Stadium for one season. 

Yesterday Spurs revealed the club would have to leave White Hart Lane for at least one season while a new stadium is built.

Stadium MK, the home of Milton Keynes Dons, has been suggested as the current favourite with a capacity of just over 30,000.

However, during today's London Assembly budget and performance committee meeting, questions were put to Dennis Hone, outgoing LLDC chief executive and Spurs season ticket holder, about Spurs moving to the larger and closer Olympic Stadium.

Hone told committee members: “If they approached us, we would certainly talk.”

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy upset Spurs fans in 2010 when he looked to move the club to the Stratford-based stadium once the London Olympics had finished. The LLDC eventually selected fellow bidders West Ham - but only as tenants. 

Chairman of the committee John Biggs said: “The Government has cut funding to the LLDC, so it’s pretty clear it would welcome an approach from Tottenham, as the income generated would be a boost.

"Retro-fitting a roof to the Olympic Stadium is an expensive exercise and Londoners will have to foot the cost of any overruns.

"The Olympic Stadium is a good option for Spurs fans and for taxpayers - although West Ham may have something to say about it – but I’m sure it would be possible to come to a ground-sharing agreement.”

From next year, the LLDC will no longer receive Government funding and will instead rely on an ongoing annual subsidy of £10 million from the GLA. Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said this could be increased to £18 million in 2015 and £14.3 million the year after, although he has indicated that he will review this in the next budget-setting round.
