Fans on Twitter react to Chelsea’s plan to redevelop the Bridge
Chelsea fans on Twitter have reacted largely positively to the proposed redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.
The club have applied for permission to build a new 60,000-seat stadium on the present site, and images of how it might look – included within the plans – have circulated on social media.
The majority of Blues supporters were excited by the proposals, although some have misgivings about knocking down the club’s 110-year-old home.

Stamford Bridge is such a unique stadium I think for anyone who’s been it’ll be difficult to see it change. #CFC

Unsurprisingly, fans of rival clubs have been less charitable.
