chelsea fc planning to rebuilt their 110years stadium

Chelsea FC Might not have stadium arena for 2 Years. Chelsea Football club of London might be forced to go homeless for two years to enable them rebuild their 110 year old stadium, Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are planning to reconstruct Stamford Bridge into a 60,000-seat stadium and have proposed the idea to residents and fans at an exhibition at the stadium running from 30 June to 2 July.

The meeting will include an explanation by the Chelsea management on the reason for a new structure. The cost of the project is billed at £500m, which the owner, Roman Abramovich, would have to meet.

Chelsea might rebuild the stadium slowly and play there at the same time but this situation will cost more and last four or more seasons. But if the could move to an alternative ground for at least two seasons, the ground would be ready for the 2018/2019 season.

“The study also began to assess the feasibility of an expansion of the stadium capacity within the existing historical site boundary, based on the principles of improving site access, benefiting the neighbourhood and enhancing the spectator experience,” said the club in a statement. “Mr Abramovich has appointed a professional team to assess, in more detail, the feasibility of expanding the existing stadium capacity at Stamford Bridge grounds.

“The process now enters a further local consultation phase. This will include an explanation of the rationale for expansion, driven by spectator demand for more seats and the need to increase stadium revenue to remain competitive with our major rivals, this revenue being especially important under financial fair play rules. Technical solutions for stadium capacity expansion are being investigated initially.

“This stage of the consultation will focus at present on discussing the rationale and technical solutions for expansion with residents and match-going spectators. Local stakeholders, neighbours, season ticket holders and club members will be invited to comment on the potential expansion. This feedback, which to date has assisted our progress in earlier stages, will continue to inform the next stage of the study.

Meanwhile Petr Cech’s departure from Chelsea seems looming with Arsenal being looking to capture the goalkeeper, who has only 12 months remaining on his contract.
