Chelsea will consider a safe standing area at a rebuilt Stamford Bridge – but only if the government change the laws.
Planning proposals have been submitted for a £500m project that would see the club’s home demolished and rebuilt, with the capacity rising from 41,000 to 60,000.
And the issue of including standing areas at the revamped stadium have been regularly raised by supporters groups.
Sportsmail understands the club are open to the idea, but will only explore the possibility should there be new legislation.
