Hi eds - with all this talk of moving to Twickenham, have Chels managed to overturn the planning restrictions on capacity?

{Ed002's Note - It is options being looked at. The restriction is not strictly capacity.}

The main problem with increasing the size of the stadium is that the current exits on to the Fulham Road from the site are not sufficient to allow for 20,000 extra people in an emergency.

They calculate the available width of the exits and then apply a formula to tell them how many people could get off the site in a specific time frame.

The current exits do not allow for further expansion, so a solution has to be found that provides for additional site exits to be added. One such solution is to build a raised platform over the tube line behind the MH Stand.

Additional problems also include the fact that the majority of the existing properties around the site are listed and so knocking them down attracts additional problems.

Well to be honest something has got to be done with Liverpool Expanding, Spurs planning a new stadium aswell has Everton and with Arsenal and Man U stadiums size we have got to find a way of increasing capacity to a level fit for a club of our stature its the last piece of the jigsaw.
