Tottenham could welcome back fans to their stadium as part of a pilot program.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Friday that the target is to start allowing supporters back into sporting events by October.

And Spurs are in talks with the authorities about being the first football club in this country to stage a game with fans since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early March, reports the Daily Star.

The government views the plush Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which opened towards the end of last season, as the ideal venue to test case having spectators back.

The way the state-of-art stadium in N17 is designed means there is plenty of space to ensure social distancing measures can be maintained both inside and outside the ground.
