Chelsea and Spurs closer to Wembley ground share

It looks as if a deal can be concluded for Chelsea and Spurs to ground share at Wembley.  It will mean more international matches being played away from Wembley and fewer music concerts there.  Chelsea would need to be there for three years and Spurs for one year.

Chelsea are thought to have agreed a deal worth £20m a season.    With a similar deal for Spurs, the FA would stand to make a total of £80m.   Last year events at the stadium generated £83m.

The FA refinanced its Wembley loan in September with a £300m corporate loan facility with Barclays, HSBC and Santander that enabled them to save about £12m a year in interest payments.
