Chairman was on SSN saying that he wants the tie switched to SJP - or if that is not possible, it would be played at Brentford or QPR.

Middlesex-based Yeading currently lie top of the Ryman Premier League, having won the title of Ryman Division One in 2004.

Yeading play at "The Warren", which only has a capacity of 3,500 - only 350 of which are seats.

Thieir Chairman was on SSN saying that he wants the tie switched to SJP - or if that is not possible, it would be played at Brentford or QPR.

He said it DEFINITELY won't be played at The Warren.

Yeading chairman Phillip Spurden told Sky Sports:

"Our players will be so proud and I hope The Football Association will relax their rules.

"It would be a great day for players and managers."

Commercial manager Bill Perryman added:

"It would have been nice to play at Stamford Bridge but Chelsea are at home, so maybe QPR or Brentford but we don't think it will go ahead at our ground."

The FA's executive director David Davies admitted: "Ideally we would like the game played at Yeading, if safety and security measures can be met.

"If not, then a nearby venue could be a possibility like Brentford or even indeed Newcastle.

"There will be meetings and then the decision will be taken very quickly."
