Chelsea are looking to redevelop their Stamford Bridge home by increasing its capacity to around 60,000 and putting them on a level playing field with Europe’s elite stadia.

Meanwhile, Earls Court developer Capital & Counties has raised concerns about how much construction traffic will be generated by the scheme.
In a letter to Hammersmith & Fulham council last month, the developer's planning consultant on Earls Court, DP9, raised a number of issues with the proposal.
In its letter, DP9 says Capco is worried by the football club’s “lack of detail associated with the assessment of the demolition/construction stage. The planning application is very high level and broad-brush in this respect.”
It added: “No information is provided on construction logistics or construction vehicle numbers and only a basic summary of excavation and associated traffic assumptions is included.
"We consider that a lot more detail is required in order for a robust assessment to be achieved prior to any determination being made.”
