EXCLUSIVEVictory for more than 100 veterans who feared they would be made homeless by Chelsea's stadium expansion plans as its revealed they will be rehomed in brand new estate

Armed forces who feared they would be left homeless after Chelsea planned to demolish their homes in a bid to expand its stadium have breathed a sigh of relief after being told they will be rehoused.

Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions is based in the shadow of the Premier League club's west London stadium, and has been standing for more than a century, housing around 100 veterans who have served in Korea, Northern Ireland and Afghanistan.

Veterans, however, were left fearing they would be made homeless or 'binned in an old people's home' after Chelsea's £80million bid for the site was accepted last October.
