As part of the club statement denying any takeover discussions they briefed everyone once again over the stadium situation. There was nothing we hadn't heard before.

We can't just decide where to play says Mabbutt


However that starts up all the speculation about ground again and I see some sites are now talking about Wembley again, which is of course out of the question but for a few big games. The earlier suggestions were that one tier could be shut reducing the capacity. There are only a set number of events Wembley is allowed to host so the option looks a total non-starter.

Stadium MK is being expanded for the Rugby World Cup so will be a 32,000 seat stadium and is the very form favourite to accommodate us for a season. They are very keen to do so and are one of very few options really.

Former England international and Tottenham captain Gary Mabbutt MBE, who won the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with us, spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live on the issue.

"It’s not quite as easy as just deciding where we’d like to play. 
“There is a lot of due diligence on the schedule of Wembley. They have concerts, they have other sporting events taking place. 
“You’re looking at other stadiums. Will it be big enough? Will it be acceptable for our fans? Is the pitch going to be the right size? Every team decides on the size due to the way they play. All these things will have to be taken into consideration.”
