Chelsea given huge boost in plans to build brand new Earls Court stadium with Government set to back controversial move GOVERNMENT cash could ease the way for Chelsea to move from Stamford Bridge to a new site at Earl’s Court.
Manchester United’s plans to knock down Old Trafford and build a new 100,000-capacity ground as the centrepiece of an entertainment and housing complex have been earmarked for funding from the Government.
And a similar approach from Whitehall to allow the redevelopment of the current Stamford Bridge for housing would be backed by planning chiefs in Chelsea’s home borough.
Provisions of that deal means that the CPO can block the club moving to another site and playing under the name of Chelsea FC without their consent.
The project will not only make changes to the Man Utd stadium, but will also lead to new housing, commercial and public spaces.
