Chelsea are looking at moving to a new ground and have been for a few years. Many fans are uncomfortable with it as they dont want to leave the spiritual home (something you know all about i presume) Location is the issue. The Bridge simply cannot be expanded anymore. Yes we do not have fanbase of Arsenal so it wont be a 60-70k ground if and when it goes ahead. I suspect more around 50k. And we will fill it.
Its not incorrect or petty its the facts on the ground. Emirates cost £300m million and holds 60,000 - one of the best gorunds in the country. Arsenal are skint - yet they needed a bigger goround so they built it.
You spend £600 million on players over 5 seasons or so yet dont build a bigger stadium. Money no object but you dont build a bigger ground.
Why because you dont have the fans to fill it. Simples....

How strange a decision does Sturridges look now when the new Chelsea manager says on day one he hasn't heard of him or seen him play ? his move appears very Ill advised in light of that statement if he was expecting first team football ?
Mate youre wrong. But like i said im not getting into an argument about it. I didnt come here to do that, i respect City fans and this forum too much to argue with them.
Chelsea fans credit Matthew Harding with starting the club’s climb back to the top.
A stand at the club’s Stamford Bridge ground is named in his honour.

You say I am wrong but cant back up you are saying with facts. You say you were more successful than us pre Roman this has been disproven.
You refuse to be drawn on the attendances issue and refusal to build a bigger ground despite limitless funds. Cant take you seriously mate.

The what the papers say section of the OS leads with.
"Terry stays on City Radar"
As a club, if we knew we had no chance of ever getting this guy we would not run a story like this!
This is very clever coverage of the story by the club who's official stance on this has been one of complete silence.
