00:00Here are three Premier League stadiums badly in need of an upgrade.
00:03Yes, I'll address Palace first, okay?
00:06Palace are currently in the process of renovating the main stand,
00:09which is where the dugouts are, with work officially starting over the summer.
00:12It has been delayed again, however, and it was first announced 10 years ago,
00:16so I'm not holding my breath.
00:17I've never had the pleasure of being in the away end, obviously,
00:20but it is famous for its terrible views thanks to a low roof,
00:24the gantry and poles throughout the stand.
00:26It's a proper stadium.
00:27You'll be okay.
00:28Next up, Chelsea.
00:29I love Stamford Bridge.
00:31It's brilliant.
00:31It's an away day I will always prioritise,
00:33but Chelsea have outgrown it in its current state.
00:36Its capacity is just 40,000,
00:37which is 20,000 less than the next smallest Big Six team.
00:41It's not in a terrible state inside,
00:43but it is significantly worse than Spurs and Arsenal.
00:46It's not an easy fix, however.
00:47Planning permission is a nightmare,
00:49and expanding the stadium is nigh on impossible.
00:52There's been talk for years of a total relocation,
00:54but the current position of the bridge is prime real estate.
00:57It would require upping sticks and moving a long way from home.
01:01Don't do it.
01:02I love the bridge.
01:03And finally, obviously, Old Trafford.
01:04When fans come to your stadium and sing about it falling down,
01:08and you're the biggest club in the country,
01:09if not the world,
01:10you should probably do something about it.
01:12Of course, in typical Man Utd fashion,
01:14the proposed plans are absolutely mental for a new stadium,
01:18and feel like an enormous overcorrection.
01:20Old Trafford is a great stadium in a lot of ways.
01:22It just needs some TLC.
01:24Please don't build a spaceship next door.
