I think the travel is a big factor. Chelsea are planning to be there 2 years will probably end up being 3. Will you or I get a season ticket for those years as they’ll probably be available? I know I’d Give some Monday night games a miss even if I did have a season ticket. The quality of the football clearly has a part to play though.
Not much anyone can do about the atmosphere, it’s a typical modern, multipurpose stadium that does everything well but nothing really well. Probably what Spurs and then Chelsea will end up with!

Know I’m going to sound like a levy apologist but new stadium despite the cheese stations and the craft beer and the ability to watch players getting hyped in the tunnel before the match, is supposed to be all about putting fans as close to the action as possible.
From the articles I’ve read about it, Levy is obsessed with getting fans as close to the action as possible and making sure the atmosphere is good/great inside the stadium.Yeah it’ll be used for multiple events, not related to football, but it’s a football stadium first and foremost and fingers crossed, watching the match won’t be as fucked up as the West Ham/london stadium fiasco.

Half dig, half genuine observation.
The Wembley accessibility thing is an excuse I’m not buying. It’s not exactly easy to get to and from WHL either. I’d understand you’d struggle to fill Wembley on a Monday night against Bournemouth or Cardiff but not against the defending champions and arguably the best PL team in a generation or so.
Tell me the last time there was a decent atmosphere at that ground? I certainly don’t recall it.
