They deny that Chelsea will move from Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge, which has a capacity of 42,000 spectators, has been Chelsea’s home ground since 1905.

The Earls Court Development Company, which is planning a new design for a west London borough, has “categorically” denied any intention to build a new Championship stadium. Chelsea to replace the current Stamford Bridge.

Earls Court Development Company is designing the redevelopment of a 40-acre plot in the area between West Brompton, Earls Court and West Kensignton tube stations in London, very close to the current location of Stamford Bridge.

This new design, with a budget of around 800 million euros, focuses on building 4,500 homes, 15,000 jobs and various areas of public and cultural spaces.

“There is no soccer field in our plans,” the promoters said in a statement. “We categorically deny that there are talks to move a stadium Chelsea For the Earl’s Court Plot”.

Stamford Bridgewhich has a capacity of 42,000 spectators, is a stadium Chelsea since 1905, but has lagged behind its competitors, such as Tottenham Hotspur Stadiumwhich seats 62,000 people, the Emirates Stadiumwhere it fits 60,000 people, and even West Ham United teamwho plays in Olympic stadiumwith a capacity of 60,000 spectators.

The cost of the new stadium and the lack of space in London for its implementation are among the biggest problems facing the stadium Chelseafor which the best option is still to demolish the current Stamford Bridge And building on those same lands. However, this also has its complexities due to how crammed the ‘Blue’ Temple is with the homes of the Fulham Broadway neighborhood.
