Get your A-Zs out, Chelsea are moving
Last updated : 24 November 2006 By Paul Lagan
Peter Kenyon gave the first solid indication that Chelsea's time at Stamford Bridge is limited.
The chief executive gave a number of interviews yesterday but the one that will affect many of us plastics is that we might have to get our A-Zs out to see where the new home of our beloved Chelsea will be.
He said: "Stamford Bridge is remembered for its location, not its capacity.
I think its fair to say that we would like the stadium to be bigger but that's not going to be at the expense of moving to Brussels or Milton Keynes."
"A real big part of Chelsea is its location and we would like to get to 55,000. That has to be within this area and that's what gives us the problem. We have been working on it but I think it is becoming pretty clear that we can't get to where we want to here."
So there you have it. After months of speculations, Kenyon has made it clear - Chelsea are leaving Stamford Bridge.
But when and where?
This is what I want you all to do.
Get out your A-Zs and start scouting available land space within the environs of Stamford Bridge.
Assuming we don't end up on a reclaimed land-fill dump on the edge of west London, start looking closer to home.
Earls Court might tickle your fancy, Battersea or Lots Road power stations perhaps.?
Get your thinking caps on and thumb that London map.
The venue which I think is a goer will get a Chelsea-related prize - a book, DVD or similar.
Closing date - well, let's say next Friday, December 1, 2006.
