I know it’s complicated and that the Chelsea pitch owners own the freehold of the stadium but it only holds 40,000.

Newcastle, West Ham, Aston Villa and soon Everton will all have a bigger stadium. Chelsea are a massive club now and would probably fill 60,000 seater easy.

I saw something on Twitter where a supporters group insisted they stayed at SB but a lot of people accused them of holding the club back.

Is it possible to redevelop SB like they done with Anfield. West London is expensive I’m not sure Boehly could afford to buy the land around it.

    West Ham and Spurs get 60,000 every game. I don’t see why Chelsea couldn’t get 70.

    In the last 20 years, they have grown their international fanbase, so get plenty of tourists now, and without getting into the boring bigger club argument, they have a claim to be the biggest in London now.

    From a neutral point of view, I think they should look at moving to Earls Court and build a brand new 65,000 stadium.
