message: The layout of the two stand pics looks a bit clunky. It might just be my browser (firefox 1.5.05 on linux) rendering it in a weird way, but I doubt it. I had a go at fixing it, but that just made it worse. Anyone else want to have a go at improving it? --Apyule 12:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pics of East and West stand 

message: The west stand section says that it has 3 tiers as well as saying that construction was stopped after only 1 was built. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks, --Apyule 13:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if the point about construction halting after the first tier was built because of planning difficulties is true (and no source has been given), the hiccup was only very brief, as the stand was complete in three tiers only a few seasons after work began.  Even if true, this bit of information is of no current or continuing interest sufficient to justify a place in an encyclopaedia article.  I have deleted it. Chelseaboy 14:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  West stand contradiction 

message: This has concerned me for a while.  The ground looks a bit disjointed, with tiers starting and finishing at different levels, and with little apparent attempt at harmonizing the overall look.
Is there a specific reason why the existing profile of the East stand could not have been continued all the way round the ground?  Is it a strange or problematic tier formation?  I appreciate the East Stand is HUGE and it may not have been practical to create such a large, three tiered "bowl", but surely things could have been made slightly more co-ordinated than they are?
:- it was said in the last few months by Chelsea that modern safety standards would require any replacement stand built on the site to use a lower angle for the stepping than the current east stand.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.225.175.151 (talk) 00:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The page says it was the largest ground before Emirates - how is that possible with a capacity of around 42K only?

text: The capacities are a mess. As are many stadiums on wikipedia, using sources that contradict each other, or no sources at all. Chelsea's official page on the present day stadium shows 41,623, the Premier League claim it's 41,798, this article uses 41,837 (no source) and if you add up the capacities listed for each stand on this article, you get over 64,000! No point editing it since having done that before, my edit to another stadium page got revert because the public sources all disagree. Bertcocaine (talk) 23:51, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

The listing also ignores Southern Railway which runs on the same route serving the same two stations, the two services' routes varying further away from the area.

thread_title:  1066? 

message: I took a photo from the Swedish Encyklopedia Nordisk Familjebok, third edition (1924-1937 17 volumes + another three supplementary volumes 1937- (summer of) 1939. The article "Fotboll", or "Football" in English is illustrated by one singe image only. And this was a clear aerial photography of Stamford Bridge, during a match in the late 1920's or early 1930's. I think it was even better than any of the other b/w photos, as the stadium is jam packed around the oval stadium. On the north-eastern long side is a covered stand, where "CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB" easily can be read. I wonder why it was removed. I think it was better than any of the three present old photograpies. And please note - it was published in Sweden as a "photographical work" (rather than "newspaper") and since the photographer is unknown, Swedish copyright laws allows such pictures to be published after 70 years. And the very last volume of this encyclopedia was printed in 1939. So it is Public Domain at the very least from 1.January.2010. Just the fact that the editors of this encyclopedia chose this photo in order to illustrate football, ought to be of some credit to Chelsea FC. I guess this picture was chosen due to the massive crowd gathered, which appears to be around the attendance record for Chelsea FC, around 80,000. And I can't help thinking that it's the best of the old pictures in this article. (It kind of "says the most" (of our pictures in this article). If someone can explain why it's removed, then I would appriciate the answer very much. Boeing720 (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Hi fellow wikipedians,
I’ve taken the liberty to change the “owners” of Stamford Bridge to “Chelsea Pitch Owners” in the article, as that is correct. Yet I’ve seen in the history log (and saw a wrong edit today) many edits changing the “owners” to “Fulham FC” or something similar, which is a straight lie. I’m getting tired of seeing this, and will not spent every day checking and correcting it. Mails have been sent to the Wikipedia team.
I can verify by source that it’s “Chelsea Pitch Owners” who owns Stamford Bridge;
https://www.chelseafc.com/en/cpo and not “Fulham FC” or “Fulham Football Club”. 
Fulham has NEVER had anything thing to do with the stadium.
Furthermore; at the bottom of this link;https://www.chelseafc.com/en/cpo/the-longer-history-and-legal-documents you’ll find 2 legal documents further contributing to my claim about the correct ownership.
Mike “Mikserinho” Christensen.
:That's not strictly true. I was told that Gus Mears had Stamford Bridge built for Fulham but when they declined to move from Craven Cottage formed Chelsea to use it. But that was a long time ago. Britmax (talk) 21:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
