Pound Land - The Battle For Stamford Bridge will cover the Ken Bates and Matthew Harding era.

Sally Brown, executive producer at BT Sport Films, said: “Pound Land - The Battle For Stamford Bridge introduces a different side to the Chelsea that we know today. [recently announced that BT Sport will be known as TNT Sports from July 2023](https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/bt-sport-to-rebrand-as-tnt-sports-from-july-2023/5179517.article). Content from the film features in Harris’ new book ‘The Battle for Stamford Bridge’, from Empire Publications. Through this period of revolutionary change for Chelsea, the once jovial partnership between Bates and Harding fractured, descending into hostility. Contributors include Glenn Hoddle and Michael Duberry; the journalists who covered the saga - Harry Harris and Rob Beasley; and fans who experienced some of the club’s darkest and euphoric days first hand, including actor Phil Daniels. Twenty years later, he sold it for £140 million to Roman Abramovich.
