SPURS bosses have launched a judicial review into the decision denying the club the 2012 Olympic Stadium.

In a statement released yesterday, the club confirmed it has applied to the High Court for judicial review into the decision to hand over the Stratford stadium to Premier League struggler West Ham United following next year's games.

The court bid is against the Olympic Park Legacy Company Limited, Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Minister for Sport and the Olympics Hugh Robertson, and Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

The review is contesting the decision which denied Spurs a move to the stadium as its new home,but the club added: “[We] continue to hold discussions with both local and national government bodies in order to seek to agree a feasible stadium solution.”

Spurs has already started legal proceeding for another judicial review, over the deal made between West Ham and Newham Council to fund the winning bid, which is believed to include a loan of up to £40m.

The club is looking for a long-term new home to replace White Hart Lane, having gained planning permission for but publicly rejected building a new stadium in Haringey in Northumberland Park.
