Chelsea FC has written to the government opposing plans to build a third runway at Heathrow airport, following the Airport Commission's recommendation.
The West London club had earmarked the site to house the many players they have out on loan in the event of a recall. It cites the scarcity of brownfield sites within a 20-mile radius of the club's training facilities at Cobham, and claims housing in London is insufficient to take the strain of such a sudden population influx.
Manager Antonio Conte is said to be keen to bolster up his squad in January; given Chelsea's recent good form Roman Abramovich may be inclined to give him a free hand in recalling as many loaned players as he chooses.
Chelsea supporters spokesman Raymond Cist told reporters it was a disgrace there wasn't enough housing in the area for the players; he volunteered to round up some mates and scare a few muslim families out of their homes.
