It's not my experience that  Wembley's seats are more cushy and comfy than those at Stamford Bridge :wink:

It’s not the seats it’s the traveling to the sh*t side of London. I’m a naughty stander anyway!

No option is very appealing really is it? Wembley, apart from being far away is possibly a threat to the teams performances as Spurs found out in their early period of playing there. Craven Cottage is fine if the club is happy with banishing some season ticket holders and the all their club members from getting to a game for three years. And the added risk that in that time some may choose not to return regularly or at all. Imagine a 60'000 seater stadium with even more tourists and JCL's filling it - or if we don't get over this current malaise with only 50% occupied. And the 'other' option is at present nothing isn't it?

I guess there's even a new question mark over Wembley with the possible sale to this Fulham/NFL fella.

I know Twickenham had been mentioned before but I haven't heard it mentioned much recently. Never been there so don't know anything about it really... what are the thoughts on it from the folks that have been there compared to Wembley and as a possible home? Craven Cottage just seems like a bad idea to me but I don't know sh*t :rolleyes:

I’ve been there a few times but that was always for the Army Navy Rugby match so my archives are incomplete :tHumBsBeeR:

The idea floating around was we’d help them increase their capacity so I’d still hold out hope.

Would Craven Cottage still be an option if they are promoted to the PL which looks very likely? Their owned is also buying Wembley which might make things interesting.

We have more season tickets than they have seats

I don't think they will need any help, their owner is royaly minted.

I think they might for 3 years of rent money, I seem to remember the locals kicking up a fuss about the thought of having football fans going there every week/2 weeks. Maybe the council didn't allow it.

Also depending on where you live Twickenham can be a real bitch to get to

The Cottage and Wembley being potentially owned by the same person makes it possible that we'd get neither ground to use.

Logistically speaking, the Cottage shouldn't even be on the table, we shouldn't be attempting to re-develop the Bridge and helping out a guy whos willing to spend some 800m on buying Wembley, o do up the Cottage either.

Best case scenario is we end up at Wembley, its probably the best of the options available to Chelsea.
