  Stamford Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stamford Bridge is a football stadium in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham that is home to Chelsea Football Club.
Stamford Bridge itself hosted the cup final for three years from 1920 to 1922, after which it was replaced by Wembley.
This meant that spectators were separated from the field of play on all sides by the width of the running track and, on the north and south sides, the separation was particularly large because the long sides of the running track considerably exceeded the length of the football pitch.

It covers part of the historic county of Yorkshire, and East Riding is also the name for one of the historic divisions of the county and was the name of an administrative county that existed from 1888 to 1974, although all three entities are not commensurate in area.
