RUSSIAN oligarch Roman Abramovich's Chelsea has bid for the London landmark Battersea Power Station site where it could build a 60,000-seater stadium, the Premier League soccer team said yesterday.
The derelict power station on the south bank of the Thames, a familiar site with its four white chimney stacks, "has the potential to become one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world," Chelsea said. Champions League finalists Chelsea would like a larger stadium to allow them to compete with rivals at home and abroad. Stamford Bridge, their home since 1905, has a capacity of just under 42,000 - modest by comparison with other top clubs. However, any move could run into opposition from fans.
