Is A Battle For Stamford Bridge About To Begin?
It hasn't always been about the Champions League and domestic doubles for Chelsea Football Club. The club's saga over its ownership of Stamford Bridge was at a time during which it had nothing like the status that it has today one of the ongoing crisis stories of the 1980s, but the club was (after the collapse of Marler Estates in 1992) reunited with the freehold to the ground and subsequently set up the Chelsea Pitch Owners, a non-profit organisation which took ownership of this freehold and the name of the club, and granted it a 199-year lease on Stamford Bridge, which secured the club's future even though the ground stands on one of the more sought-after areas of London a city that has seen a fair few football grounds disappear in the name of property development in recent years.
