Levy would consider Olympic Stadium

The Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, has said that the north London club would be interested in a move to the Olympic Stadium after it hosts the London 2012 games.

Currently, the new stadium, which will have a 70,000 capacity, will be used for athletics once the games have finished but Levy admitted that if this was to change, Tottenham would be interested in occupying it.

"At the moment it is going to be used for athletics but if that changes, then I am sure they will come and talk to us," Levy told The Times newspaper."There are only one or two clubs who could occupy it and we are one of the few clubs in the country that have sold every single seat this season."

A move away from White Hart Lane has been mooted in the past but the expense of building a new stadium has always been a stumbling block.Therefore, a move to a stadium which has already been built, even if Spurs were required to stump up some of the costs, would be an ideal situation for the club.

"We have the fourth largest supporter base of any English club and that us an independent assessment," Levy added."The supporter base is not just large, it is very loyal and I can tell you now that, if we were playing in Europe, I don’t care who it would be against, this stadium would be full."
