I know it’s complicated and that the Chelsea pitch owners own the freehold of the stadium but it only holds 40,000.

Newcastle, West Ham, Aston Villa and soon Everton will all have a bigger stadium. Chelsea are a massive club now and would probably fill 60,000 seater easy.

I saw something on Twitter where a supporters group insisted they stayed at SB but a lot of people accused them of holding the club back.

Is it possible to redevelop SB like they done with Anfield. West London is expensive I’m not sure Boehly could afford to buy the land around it.

    I’m not sure Boehly could afford to buy the land around it.

    I mean they’ve literally just bought 2 acres next to their stadium for £80m to perhaps make it easier to redevelop the stadium.

    I’m no Chelsea fan but it’s just a difficult predicament because there’s not loads of land available to buy nearby that would easily host a stadium that size as they’re so central but where Stamford Bridge is there’s a lot of logistical issue they need to go through as well.
