Former Chelsea boss Glenn Hoddle is backing plans to move to a new 60,000-seat stadium.
Plans are underway for the Blues to leave Stamford Bridge.
"If Chelsea were to move 100 yards then some fans will not be happy, they don't want to move and that's it," Hoddle told talkSPORT.
"Chelsea have to move with the times though. It's quite ambitious. I know Abramovich has put loads of money into Chelsea but he's still looking to make the club bigger and better.
"If Chelsea do move to a 60-70,000 capacity stadium it will bode well for the future of the club."
Many wonder whether Andres Villas-Boas' men would attract crowds of that size to a new ground but Hoddle believes there is an appetite from Chelsea fans.
"Chelsea would get 60,000 if they were doing well," he added. "For certain cup games they would struggle, but for big Champions League nights and Premier League game they would just about get the 60,000 they are looking to achieve. They have to be doing well to get it though."
