The reconstruction proposed by Stamford Bridge de Chelsea could see the blues forced to find a temporary house when work on the project ends up starting, with Twickenham offered as a viable option.
With Stamford Bridge considerably smaller than the tastes of Old Trafford and the Emirates stadium, Chelsea wanted to redevelop and develop its stadium for almost 20 years.
He started relatively early during the property of Roman Abramovich, but was resurrected and taken up on a new life since Blueco’s takeover in 2022.
Chelsea concluded an agreement in 2023, which should enter into force in 2025, to buy a value of 80 million pounds sterling of neighboring land from a charity of veterans who would allow a redevelopment of the stadium and the surrounding area. The land, which shelters 6,500 military retirees, was registered for sale and the club was reported at the time that it had beat the competition of 13 rival bidders.
The redevelopment of the Stamford Bridge stand at the same time, in accordance with the approach of Liverpool to Anfield, is not considered ideal. They are more likely to bulldozer the existing stage and to build from scratch on the same site. But while Manchester United will not be forced to go out due to the size of the wider site of Old Trafford, Chelsea, even with the new purchase of adjacent land, does not have the space among the London streets occupied to be able to leave Stamford Bridge as it is while a new stadium is under construction.
Chelsea has already explored the game to Twickenham, the House of the English Rugby Union and currently known as the Allianz stadium for sponsorship purposes. The place of 82,000 seats is around seven miles further west to the outskirts of London in Richmond Upon Thames.
Rugby Football Union (RFU) has mainly opened the doors of Twickenham to Chelsea, in the hope of being financially rewarded in the context of efforts to use the stadium for more unchanged events.
“It would allow it to happen, there have been conversations before possible [Premier League] Clubs coming here, “said the director general of RFU, Bill Sweeney, via The telegraph.
“Richmond Council, Richmond Borough is more concerned about [local impact]. I just think that in terms of impact on local residents, the number of fans, etc., they are a little more sensitive. It may depend on the club it is.
“It would be a large number of financial number, I know that the Richmond borough would certainly have a conversation on this subject.”
