Rebuilding Stamford Bridge put on hold by Chelsea

Stamford Bridge is a football stadium located in South West London in de Fulham area. The stadium has been the home base of football club Chelsea FC since 1905 and it has a capacity of 41,837. Stamford Bridge is the eighth largest stadium of England. It was opened in 1877 and renovated several times. Chelsea have plans to expand the stadium to 60,000, which would make it the third largest Premier League stadium in London. 

In 2018, design plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge were revealed by the club. However, due to an ‘unfavourable investment climate’ the project had earlier been put on hold. They were already granted permission to build the new stadium on the current site and the design was still awaiting implementation. The idea was for Chelsea to play at Wembley in the meantime, to enable the renovation, just as Tottenham Hotspur did recently.

However, three days ago, the club announced to put the project on a hold once more. The corona crisis is affecting many football clubs financially. And unfortunately, Chelsea too. This means, Chelsea won’t be able to go through with rebuilding a new stadium. Today, 31 March, the planning permission for building a new stadium expires.

“We will continue to consider our options for a new stadium, should economic conditions improve.”

On the official website, the club thanks their fans and stakeholders for their patience and understanding in this matter. “We will continue to consider our options for a new stadium, should economic conditions improve.”
