Stamford Bridge to be renamed

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.

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.
