Tottenham Hotspur are planning ahead, in case a motion to allow safe standing is passed.

According to an article in The Times, Tottenham Hotspur have prepared ahead of time – and their stadium can be converted to have a safe standing section in it within hours.

Campaigners are still trying to get parliament to allow safe standing at Premier League matches, and there is optimism that an agreement will be reached.

And Spurs are already planning ahead, with 7,500 seats in their new ground able to be converted into a safe standing section.

5,000 seats in the home section, and 2,500 in the away area can be converted in an hour, to allow Spurs’ fully ground to be fully equipped for safe standing.

It is another exciting feature in Tottenham’s new home, which Mauricio Pochettino’s side are set to move into sooner rather than later.

Spurs are to play their first home game of the season against Fulham at Wembley, but Pochettino’s men are hoping to open their new ground before September.

Tottenham want to test their new ground out before the first-team use it, with the under-23’s set to play there against Brighton in the first game in the new stadium.
