Plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge appeared to be edging closer to fruition after an agreement was reached over purchasing land next to the current ground. The Blues had apparently offered £60million to buy a site which currently houses about 100 military veterans and war widows in July. The Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions site is two-acres worth of land and is currently owned by the veterans' charity Stoll. The offer was accepted in principle by Stoll, who cited the need to 'secure the future sustainability' of the charity, but they are facing dissenting voices. A nine-week resident consultation period was established, with Stoll reserving the right to the final say when it comes to a decision over the prospective sale. Now, the Evening Standard has reported that an injunction over the sale has now been lodged by residents with Wandsworth County Court in London. With residents having raised their objections to the sale, it appears that a number of veterans are dissatisfied about the prospect of moving. One resident previously told the Daily Mail that he felt that they were being 'sold out'. They said: "Most of us are vulnerable and do not want to be moving at our time of life, We really do feel that we are being sold out and money is more important than our lives." Another army veteran said: "I'm 73 years old and do not want to move. The charity have told me they are under no obligation to find me somewhere else to live. How am I supposed to go flat hunting at my age? For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US.
