More delay drama for Chelsea and the new Stamford Bridge stadium

Wembley Stadium home to the England national team and Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal did it just over ten years ago, West Ham did it last season, whilst Tottenham are currently in the process of doing it. Stadium moves have been considered a vital part of the growth of all these London clubs, as they seek to provide improved capacity and facilities for supporters, whilst also increasing revenue streams that come with a modern new stadium. Chelsea set to be the next club to lay down new bricks and mortar in the English capital, constructing a new 60,000 capacity venue on the existing Stamford Bridge site at a projected cost of around £500… Read more »

Louis covers some of the basics, whilst also exploring what it is for Spurs to be playing at a home away from home, White Hart Lane. Ground: Wembley (19/92) Game: Tottenham v Chelsea Date 20/08/2017 Why Wembley, why Spurs? I’ve been to Wembley a few times, but only to see England friendlies and one-sided qualifiers. Every season I dream of watching my club play a major final at the National Stadium. These dreams have usually faded and died, however, before the start of… Read more »

With the rumours showing no signs of dying down the possibility of Tottenham and Chelsea shacking up together at Wembley could be happening as early as next summer.

Blogger Michael Pilcher made the trip to the Potteries for some midweek Capital One Cup action. Cup holders Chelsea were the visitors as they looked to stop the rot and continue to defend their silverware. Ground: The Britannia Stadium 75/92 Game: Stoke City 1-1 Chelsea (Stoke win 5-4 on penalties) Date: 27/10/2015 I’ve heard so many variations on Andy Gray’s Lionel Messi quote that I don’t think anyone knows what the original was anymore.
