The majority want to stand though...

I just don't get it, why would you want to stand for 90 minutes? I can understand at an away game, but I just want to sit down and enjoy the football, eat my food and drink etc

What is happening with the expanding possibilities?

previous pages and an article Alex wrote a few weeks ago cover it. Basically the club are currently doing a survey of the area surrounding the stadium. It is not a survey into the feasibility of expansion exactly but it is the first step in looking at expansion and it's viability. Chelsea are yet to make any comment about using Twickenham or the outcome of the survey they are currently undertaking

EDIT: Although the RFU said Chelsea had contacted them about using Twickenham, me and Greavsie I think it was pointed out that due to laws in the area about the number of events allowed to be hosted at Twickenham each year it may not be viable. I think that was a few pages back too. It seems to be paper talk really

Ah okay thanks.

If twickenham fails, are there any other options?

Even if the club can find a way around expanding Stamford Bridge, it won't be enough. We'll out grow Stamford Bridge for good by around 2020 and move to an expensive, souless, modern stadium.

The redevelopment of SB is being planned coupled with Abramovichs desire for them to be mature & shake off the controversial image (Express)

Chelsea are unlikely to move to a new stadium for at least seven years, it has emerged. #CFC (Mirror)

#CFC would prefer to stay as close as possible to their Stamford Bridge home and may attempt further redevelopment of the ground. (Mirror)

#CFC's current capacity contributes to the fact that it earns £1.5m/match or £35m per season LESS than #AFC in terms of matchday revenue.

Chelsea have estimated that it would cost £20,000 per extra seat to redevelop their current home. #CFC (Mirror) #ticketprices

Chelsea have now slipped outside the top 50 in the world in terms of stadium capacity (Mirror) #CFC

If Chelsea redevelop Stamford Bridge instead, it is possible they will play at Twickenham for a year, or probably 2. #CFC (Mirror)

That is absolutely shocking for a club of our size.

Why? Stamford bridge is our home...I don't really see a need to change, barring Money

All this nostalgic, heritage bullshit is what's holding us back.

We've outgrown our home. If we want to progress as a football club, we have to move stadium. Stamford Bridge will just continue to pull us back from everyone else. We earn £35 million less than Arsenal every season. That's 1 world class player we could buy on a season basis without FFP being effected.

You have the mentality of a Tottenham or Arsenal.

That's the irony of it. Arsenal have moved and Tottenham are moving. He has even worse mentality than Tottenham and Arsenal

You against the idea of redeveloping the Bridge then? It could turn out to be more trouble than it's worth after all. What are our moving options at the moment?
