The Times are tonight reporting that Chelsea fans are so unhappy with the prospect of the club moving their ground to a new build in Earl’s Court that they’ve produced a list of questions to be put to Todd Boehly and the rest of the ownership group.
Boehly and the new owners have pledged to change the stadium situation, either by expanding Stamford Bridge, or by finding a new site, and they’re currently in the investigation stage of it all. Everything is conditional upon the support of the Chelsea Pitch Owners, without whose assent Stamford Bridge can’t be sold.
To us, a move to Earl’s Court actually seems like a nice compromise. It’s only a stone’s throw away, but would allow a larger build than a redevelopment of the Bridge.
Still, staying put is still always our favourite option. 120 years of history is worth more than a little extra matchday revenue.
