Tottenham expert John Wenham is “100 per cent behind” the club’s idea to apply for permission to increase the number of non-football events they can host each year.
Spurs are requesting permission to stage up to 30 significant non-football events annually at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to plans that have just surfaced.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was constructed in its place after the original White Hart Lane was demolished, and the team has since hosted a number of significant events, including boxing matches, concerts, and NFL games.
Wenham thinks the club will only gain from expanding those activities.
“I think this was something they probably always had in mind, and they just needed to have a few events first to test the waters, especially some big events like the five nights of Beyonce,” said Wentham, in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News.
“They needed to see the positives and negatives these events would bring to the local community
To be fair, thirty events is a lot, and if this goes through, Tottenham may end up holding a lot more non-football events at the stadium than football ones.
“That being said, I wholeheartedly support the notion that the stadium ought to be packed whenever the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club isn’t using it.

“Given all the controversy surrounding FFP right now, it puts us in a great place by generating more money for the club and the local economy.”
Daniel Levy continues to generate more money at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Plenty of supporters will have complaints that Tottenham continue to focus more on success off the pitch than they do on it.
However, it is hard to deny that the two go hand in hand. The more revenue that the club generate, the more likely they are to spend in the transfer market.
While some might argue that they want the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to be known for attractive football and plenty of trophies, it is hard to disagree with Wenham that making use of the stadium when it is not needed by the football club is not a bad thing.
As long as the non-football events don’t interfere with the football events, and the club’s fixture schedule remains the priority, then Levy should continue as he pleases.In other Tottenham news, the door is open for one Under-21 star to break into the first team after a senior
