Londoners find the proposition of helping to bankroll a £500 million venue and then bulldozing it after only a month of sport offensive.

They have also given their unequivocal backing to have track and field events on the Olympic stadium calendar.

All this amounts to an emphatic thumbs-down for the Spurs plan, though the club will point out that the poll does not ask Londoners what they think about spending more public cash on the stadium, as the rival West Ham bid initially entails. But the findings will at least underline to Spurs that West Ham's bid has emerged as the Londoners' choice.

The Olympic Park Legacy board meets in a few weeks. Chairwoman Baroness Ford is unlikely to be swayed when former Olympics minister Tessa Jowell or London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe speak of broken promises.

These are the people who have created or voted for the discredited legacy of a 25-000-seat athletics stadium that got us into this mess in the first place.

This plan brought the Mayor out into a sweat because he feared it would be a drain on the public purse and hastened the appointment of Lady Ford to sort it out. But it will not be so easy for her to put in the earplugs now Londoners have delivered their verdict.
