I mean, yeah, but most clubs don’t play at their main ground anyway. Obviously Man U moving to Old Trafford would be suicide, but surely Chelsea could pack Stamford Bridge, or Liverpool a decent chunk of Anfield or something… (definitely more the former)
@Astrealix yeah, I’m surprised Chelsea don’t play more games there. Wonder if that’s by choice because they don’t want to play in a half-empty stadium.
Surely they could pack it if we can, the Bridge isn’t exactly the biggest ground in the world…
@Astrealix far as I can tell, their record attendance there was 38,000, but not clear how many of those were paid.
(edit) averages were much lower: https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/chelsea-women/attendances/2022-2023
I guess you probably do need the sorta drumrolling campaign we had for the Liverpool game to actually pack a stadium of that size still. Makes sense in all honesty, but hopefully it’ll get better soon enough.
Just checked, Chelsea are also playing games at the Bridge, though I can’t figure out whether they are planning on moving there long-term from a cursory search.
