Stamford Bridge
Continuing on from the first post, I have heard that Chelsea are looking to easily double the capacity of their Stamford Bridge ground (expectations were that it would only be around 60,000) and to rival the capacity that of the Nou Camp which is Barcelona's football ground. Remembering that the current Stamford Bridge has a capacity of 42,449 and the Nou Camp has a capacity of 98,600.
White Hart Lane
Home to another Premiership team called Tottenham Hotspurs, the current capacity is 36,214. But the team have been wanting to expand because every game is a sell-out. Unfortunately the stadium is located on a tertiary train line and not close enough to a tube station meaning that planning permission to expand has not been granted. A proposal put forward was that a spur could be constructed on the London Underground Victoria line, allowing direct stadium connection to the London Underground network. However the cost-benefit analysis proved that the daily usage would be very low and the cost to construct the tunnel and extension would be prohibitive. Tottenham have however reportedly now looked at building a whole new stadium altogether possibly near to the London Liverpool Street train terminus - London Stansted Airport - Cambridge mainline slightly to the east. This information is very vague, but it would be probable that the stadium would have upwards of 60,000 fans due to the fact that Tottenham is the most 'supported' club in London.
