Chelsea fans get update on Stamford Bridge redevelopment cost, start date and a dig at Spurs

The director of the Blues' stadium project team spoke to supporters

The new Stamford Bridge will hold 60,000 spectators

Chelsea's new Stamford Bridge development is starting to gather pace, however fans are eager to know when the project might be getting going.

It will still take years for the new stadium to be built, with the current site to be knocked down in way for the redevelopment.

Hugh Rosen, director of Chelsea's stadium project team, did a Q&A with Jason Cundy last night at the brilliant night to honour Eddie McCreadie at the Under the Bridge venue.

So how close is the project from getting going?

Intro on the project

"This project for the new stadium is Roman Abramovich's project. He is the third owner only in the history of this club and the theme that he instructed us was continuity.

"It is five years since Munich, and 40 years since Mr McCreadie asked you to leave the pitch.

"Here we are, 112 years into our history trying to rebuild our stadium for the fifth time on our own site, around our own pitch.

"There are 13 London clubs, this is the only one that has never moved home ground and never will move home ground."
