Green light for Chelsea stadium redevelopment

Chelsea last night got the go-ahead to redevelop Stamford Bridge into a 60,000 seater stadium.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council heard a planning application last night.

The league leaders have decided developing their current home, rather than relocating elsewhere, is their preferred option as they look to provide a 60,000-seater stadium with a capacity more akin to other top-flight clubs.
