SPURS have denied they are taking Olympic chiefs to court over the 2012 stadium bidding process, saying they are merely seeking information.

Earlier today the Olympic Park Legacy Committee said they had received a letter from the club informing them that they were seeking a judicial review of the process used in the decision to hand the stadium to West Ham.

But Tottenham said while they had sent letters to the parties involved in the decision, there was no legal action being taken.

In a statement, the club said: “At this stage the club has not issued any proceedings against the Olympic Park Legacy Company or any other party in respect of the decision regarding the award of the Olympic Stadium.

"The club’s lawyers have written letters to the Company, the Mayor of London, the Minister of Sport and the Secretary of State for Local Government and a separate letter to the London Borough of Newham raising a number of concerns with the processes which led to the award.

“The letters also requested - in the interests of transparency - for the provision of certain information concerning the processes, which the club considers that it is entitled to.

“Tottenham Hotspur will determine its next step as and when it receives a response to these letters.”
