Tottenham await news on Wembley capacity planning application

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to receive the green light to play 27 "home" matches in front of Wembley's full 90,000-capacity next season when Brent Council meets on Thursday evening.

Spurs are set to use Wembley as a temporary home for next season while the redevelopment of White Hart Lane is completed. Under Wembley's existing planning rules the club could play five full-capacity matches, but they have applied to stage an additional 22 games without restrictions.

Spurs initially asked for 36 games at full capacity but that was considered too great a strain on local residents, and they have since agreed to a reduced figure of 27 -- the same number of home games they will play this season.
