i think the stamford bridge expansion rumors exist because we all like to speculate 'what else' the zany shady billionaire can do.
i don't see where they could put more seats (go up? go into the cemetery?), i suppose they could rebuild the newly rebuilt north stand(competed in the last few years), but i think they have expansion issues like man utd. - rail lines next door.
i don't know what it is, but an english stadium HAS to be next to a rail line, the fact arsenal is relocating an 1/8 mile to ashburton grove next to some rail lines validates this cardinal rule of planning.
the grapevine also says fulham fc is looking to move somewhere around fulham and build a 30000+ seat stadium. they were going to rebuild craven cottage a couple years ago but couldn't get planning permission.
