Should Chelsea FC be allowed to borrow Twickenham Stadium for a season?

Jim White is worried about Chelsea fans arriving in Twickenham. He believes the sort of disruption that once accompanied football matches is a thing of the past. Chelsea supporters are a model of well-behaved sobriety. Jim White thinks Chelsea FC should be allowed to borrow Twinklingham Stadium for a season. The tickets cost £85 and the tickets are bought by well heeled people. Chelsea is no longer home to the working man’s ballet. It is now the hedgefunder”s Covent Garden.

Chelsea FC might play their home matches at Twickenham Stadium in 2016-17. The stadium is being redeveloped at Stamford Bridge. It would upset rugby's traditionalists, for whom Twinklingham is sacred ground. RFU is not broke and needs the extra income. It's time for rugby to set itself against the corporate spirit of the age. Jose Mourinho is a rugby fan.

Sacred Heart will take a lot of stopping in the Auckland 1A first XV competition this year.

After the omnishambles, Chelsea could still win the Premier League next season

For all the catastrophising of this Chelsea season, the sheer heft of the club means that they can still attract the interest of the elite level of coaches. Hindsight may have 20/20 vision, but the build-up to the Champions League quarter-final matches between Chelsea and Real Madrid was strange, nevertheless. For a few days prior to each leg,…
