Chelsea are looking into the possibility of demolishing Stamford Bridge and constructing a new £2billion, 60,000 capacity stadium in its place. Former owner Roman Abramovich had plans to move the club to a more modern stadium to compete with the top teams in Europe, though these were put on hold due to a number of delays and setbacks. Todd Boehly, the current owner, is now looking into the project and it has been suggested that it could be built in a similar way to Tottenham's new ground near White Hart Lane. Stamford Bridge currently has a capacity of 40,303, making it the 11th largest stadium in England, which has caused plans to be drawn up to demolish and rebuild the ground that has been Chelsea's home since 1905. Issues regarding planning permission, cost and timescale have been raised, though it is thought that money is not an issue for the consortium. If the project is to go ahead, Chelsea may be forced to relocate to a temporary home for a few years, with Craven Cottage and Wembley or Twickenham being potential options.
