Bill Sweeney, the CEO of the RFU, indicated that Twickenham might serve as a temporary venue for Chelsea if the club needs a new home. Despite the financial allure for the RFU, local council concerns about the impact on residents could stall plans. Chelsea continues to evaluate options to improve or relocate from Stamford Bridge. With Twickenham largely unused for most of the year, the RFU sees hosting elite sports events as a way to combat record losses, alongside plans for a £660 million redevelopment.
"The RFU is permitted to host three concerts a year and only two on consecutive nights, which affects their revenue potential and utilization of Twickenham."
"Should the RFU host Chelsea at Twickenham, it would be a lucrative move for the union, which previously announced record losses and is struggling to break even."
