Chelsea Football Club have submitted plans of
their new 60,000 capacity stadium to the
Fulham and Hammersmith council. The stadium
will still retain the name Stamford Bridge and
will cost an estimated £600m. Included in the
application are plans to build a club shop,
museum and a separate restaurant/cafe zone.
If Chelsea are given the go ahead by the council
to build the stadium, construction could begin as
early as May 2016, with the club vacating the
premises at the end of the 2016-17 season to
play home matches in London's Wembley
stadium. See Pictures of the proposed new
stadium
