EPL: Chelsea to leave Stamford Bridge

1 month ago 60

Chelsea have held talks over leaving Stamford Bridge and moving to Earls Court.

According to the UK Guardian, the Blues are seeking a resolution to their plans for a bigger stadium.

It is understood that expanding the current capacity of 42,000 is a key priority for the new owners.

The club’s owners are committed to maximising revenues by building one of the biggest and best stadiums in the country.

Chelsea would need to reach an agreement with Chelsea Pitch Owners, which holds the freehold of Stamford Bridge stadium and they could block any attempt to move.

A stand-by-stand rebuild has also been considered, which could force Chelsea to play at a temporary home, likely Wembley, for a number of years if they knock down Stamford Bridge.
