A decision over the fate of the 拢496m Olympic Stadium after the games has been postponed, amidst a growing media furore over the issue.

The body charged with making the decision, the Olympic Park Legacy Company, ran by former English Partnerships chair Margaret Ford, said today that it had requested more information from the bidders, and therefore wouldn鈥檛 be able to make the decision at a planned board meeting on Friday.

Comments by Lord Coe over the weekend have fuelled controversy over the bids by Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham respectively to take on the stadium.

Coe said Tottenham鈥檚 plan, if chosen, would 鈥渢rash鈥� the reputation of UK sport because it will not see a permanent athletics venue at the stadium.

Tottenham鈥檚 plan is to demolish the majority of the stadium and replace it with a state-of-the-art football ground.

In a statement the OPLC said: 鈥淭he Stadium is a significant public asset and we have a duty to run a robust process.

鈥淕iven the detailed nature of both bids received, we need more time to seek further clarification with both bidders in order to identify a preferred bidder.鈥�

The OPLC鈥檚 board has to recommend which bid is successful, with that decision then having to go to the body鈥檚 funders, the mayor of London and the communities department, to be ratified.

The OPLC has always maintained it was possible no conclusion would be reached at the Friday meeting, but most media reports had stated the decision was due this week.

The organisation said it was still on track to reach an approved 鈥渟ettled position鈥� on the future of the venue by the end of March.

A spokesperson for the OPLC said the board still hoped to make its recommendation 鈥渟ooner rather than later.鈥�
