Putting in the ground work
BRENTFORD: Hope to leave Griffin Park for a new stadium at Kew Bridge but plans are being held up by an ownership battle over their proposed site. Planning permission granted to build houses on Griffin Park.
CHARLTON: Want to raise the capacity of The Valley by more than 50 per cent to 40,600. Scheme involves building new tiers of seating on existing stands.
CHELSEA: Dismissed speculation they plan to increase capacity to 55,000. It would be a difficult and costly exercise.
CRYSTAL PALACE: Chairman Simon Jordan, fed up of paying rent, may move to Crystal Palace athletics stadium when lease expires in 2010.
LEYTON ORIENT: A £10m redevelopment of Brisbane Road will lead to 10,500-seat stadium incorporating flats being built on the corners of the ground.
MILLWALL: Until Ashburton Grove is finished, The Den remains the only new ground built in London since the War. No plans to increase capacity.
QPR: Desperate to find a new tenant to bring in much-needed cash. Approaches to neighbours Brentford have so far been rebuffed.
TOTTENHAM: Working on plans to increase capacity of White Hart Lane to 44,000. However, want public transport links improved before going ahead. They have also looked into playing at Wembley and proposed Olympic stadium at Stratford.
WATFORD: Seeking to raise £7m to buy back Vicarage Road freehold. Then they plan to rebuild the crumbling main stand.
WEST HAM: One of the best grounds outside the Premiership with 35,000 capacity, although, like Spurs, could be tempted by an Olympic stadium at nearby Stratford.
