Chelsea to bid for stadium shares from fans
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck hopes that club supporters will not hold the Blues to ransom, as they hope to buy back shares sold to supporters in the 1990's.
Chelsea chairman Buck hopes that supporters will be ready to sell their shares, so the club can begin regeneration of the stadium and expansion plans.
"Bear in mind that no one bought these shares as a financial investment," said Buck.
"Everyone bought these shares as a way of helping the club and they also bought them as mementoes and souvenirs.
"We haven't considered making them a big offer because we believe that they are fans of Chelsea Football Club and want to do what's best for Chelsea Football Club and we've offered them a couple of things relating to their role as a fan."
