CHELSEA
Stamford Bridge (capacity 41,663)
Stamford Bridge is currently the eighth largest stadium in the country, and the club has plans to expand the capacity to over 60,000 in the coming years. It has undergone a number of major changes since it was first built, most recently in the 1990’s when it was renovated into a modern, all seater stadium.
Both East and West Stands are three tiered, with the latter an impressive and modern looking stand with a transparent roof which allows a greater amount of light on to the pitch. The two end stands are two tiered, with the Matthew Harding Stand said to be the loudest of the home stands.
Away fans visiting Stamford Bridge are located in the Shed End lower tier, nearest the East Stand, with a typical allocation of 3,000.
