Deal, done in principle, would allow major expansion on siteChelsea also weighing up options including Earl’s Court move
Chelsea have not made a final decision on their redevelopment plans for Stamford Bridge despite agreeing a deal in principle to buy a piece of land next to their stadium.
Winning the race to buy a 1.2-acre site belonging to Stoll, a provider of supported housing for veterans, will reduce the chances of Chelsea having to find a new home. Building one of the biggest and best stadiums in the country has been a key concern for the owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, and the path forward has become a little clearer after Stoll’s board of trustees approved the sale of the majority of its Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions site, subject to further consultation with residents.
