    Great, fantastic ground but away support will be bussed in and out, wont be allowed to have a beer on the thames, locals don't do football.

    There should be a hefty financial penalty for playing in a stadium that far exceeds their own, they should be allowed into a 40-odd thousand seater max until they build their own. What's to stop Swansea playing in the Millenium, deliberately delaying the completion of a new stadium to take advantage of a 76,000 sell out for several seasons?

    Perhaps Chelsea could become a sporting empire like Real Madrid and Barcelona who have basketball sides, so why not buy a rubgy union side like Harlequins and rebrand it as Harlequins-Chelsea, and its quids in all round.

    I think this idea will be "kicked into touch"

    Chelsea's interest in using Twickenham "unwelcome", says local MP Vince Cable in letter to RFU http://thetim.es/1rFl8t0 (by @garyjacob)

    Did the Police "Lock" them up? - Yes but the copper must have misheard the conversation between the Chelski fan and the hooker - what he actually said was "do you fancy a Ruck!
