Ugh, four years...

I wish Craven Cottage was more viable. Just schedule away games when they're at home, though I imagine that's too hard for the buffoons at the FA to do.

Too smaill no?

Too smaill no?

That's why it's not viable. If it even had a capacity of 10,000 more, I'd say it's worth it, but that's purely from a location and atmosphere standpoint. Wembley is so far away from Stamford Bridge, I can see it being a pain to get to, and it just feels awkward to use Wembley as our home for so many games. If people aren't happy with the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, I can see it being a library at Wembley just due to the sheer size of it. I hope I'm wrong.

Either way, small price to pay for that new home of ours.

Might be because they, the FA, have nothing to do with the actual Premier League fixture list.

I wish we would do something similar to what Real Madrid did with El Grada...

You're completely right. However, Wembley is about 15 minutes away from my house, so I'm sorted for 3-4 years

What they did?

Would the FA have to do something about it if Fulham aren't in the Premier League?

But right. I didn't know it was all on the Premier League for the fixtures.

Which is a bloody shame, because maybe they could help Premier League clubs in Europe!

So who is responsible for the fixtures?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So who is responsible for the fixtures?

The Premier League themselves. They have their own body who does this.

Unrelated to Stamford Bridge, but the NFL just agreed to play a minimum of 3 games a season at Twickenham starting in 2016. I'm sure that will get the Rugby-only people upset. It also shows that Twickenham won't refuse everything that isn't rugby.
