Stamford Bridge to be renamed

Stamford Bridge to be renamed

08 November 2011 - 06:39

Chelsea have announced that Stamford Bridge will be renamed in the next year, to generate revenue as they begin searching for a new home elsewhere.

  • Chelsea to complete deal for Pep Chavarria
  • Malo Gusto to complete move from Chelsea to Man City this week
  • It is understood that plans have been afoot since 2009 to search for stadium naming sponsor. Chelsea director Ron Gourlay revealed: "We have outgrown our stadium.


    "We hope to make an announcement on naming rights in the next six to eight months. It would make a big step as we have to drive up the revenues."


    It is hoped that eventually Chelsea will be able to move away from Stamford Bridge, and move into a new 60,000 seater stadium.
