I whakatuwherahia i te 28 Paenga-whawha 1877 a mo nga tau 28 tuatahi o tona oranga i whakamahia tata ki te London Athletic Club hei waahi mo nga hui hakinakina, kaore hoki mo te whutupaoro. I te tau 1904 i hokona te whenua e te tangata pakihi a Gus Mears me tona tuakana a Hohepa, nana hoki i hoko whenua tata (he maara maakete nui i mua) me te kaupapa ki te whakahaere i nga whakataetae whutupaoro i runga i te 12.5 eka (51,000 m2) o te papaanga. I hangaia a Stamford Bridge mo te whanau Mears e te kaihoahoa whutupaoro rongonui a Archibald Leitch, nana hoki i hoahoa a Ibrox, Craven Cottage me Hampden Park. I whakatuhia te nuinga o nga karapu whutupaoro i te tuatahi, ana i rapua kia purei, engari i whakaturia a Chelsea mo Stamford Bridge.
