It was confirmed on Wednesday that, after eight successful and memory-filled years at Kingsmeadow, the Blues would be calling Stamford Bridge home next season in the WSL.

Head coach Sonia Bompastor has expressed her enthusiasm over the switch, emphasising that it is a stage on which our players deserve to perform. And both Cuthbert and Nuksen are excited by the opportunities the move will bring, both on and off the pitch.

'We’re not the first to do it,' says Cuthbert. 'But one thing I like about Chelsea is we make our move when we're ready to make the step. You have to grow the fanbase first, grow the foundations, and improve facilities and everything around the whole experience before you make the big jump.

'That's what I've enjoyed about how the club's done it. We’ve had a little bit of a hybrid model the past few years, and it's worked well. Now it's about taking the next step.

'I've loved filling Stamford Bridge and hearing how loud the atmosphere is. I've been part of games where both teams have had big crowds at the Bridge – the atmosphere is electric. Hopefully, moving forward, we can create more moments like that.'

Cuthbert, who has won the previous six Women's Super League titles with Chelsea, naturally has fond memories of Kingsmeadow, where she has enjoyed so much success and lived countless happy moments. And the stadium's intimate yet boisterous atmosphere is something she will never forget.

'Kingsmeadow has given me some of my best moments at the club,' she said. 'It really did feel like home, and we had the thing under Emma (Hayes), where we called it our fortress because it was so small and it was dense. I love the idea of packing the terraces.

'It's proper like old school football, and the whole atmosphere does make me a bit nostalgic. It was a brilliant pitch, even the opposition would say that, and I think that was a big part of our success. I want to thank the grounds staff for that, and I’ll always be grateful for Kingsmeadow.'

As for her standout moment at Stamford Bridge so far, Cuthbert scans her memory and mentions a couple of contenders before deciding on our dramatic Women's Champions League victory against Lyon.

On that night, Maren Mjelde scored in the eighth minute of added time in extra time to send the tie to penalties, and the Blues triumphed in the shoot-out, as two big saves from Ann-Katrin Berger saw the Blues advance to the semi-final.

'I think that is my favourite moment at the Bridge,' she concluded. 'It went to penalties in the end, and just the whole drama, the theatre of it, made for a great spectacle.

'It was just so up and down and full of emotions. When it's hanging on a knife-edge, and you don't know who's going to win, it makes it even sweeter.'

We then switch to Nusken, who picks out her brace in our 3-1 win over Arsenal in the Women's Super League in March 2024.

It was a result that maintained our, eventually successful, pursuit of the title and a game that once again showcased the versatility of our German international.

'I think it's a really good sign that we are playing every home game at Stamford Bridge,' said Nusken 'I hope a lot of fans are coming to support us to get the stadium full.

'I have a lot of good memories, to be honest. Maybe the one against Arsenal, where I scored twice, is my favourite.

'A lot more fans will be able to come to watch the games now. Kingsmeadow was a really, really nice stadium, but now we are on track to get bigger and get more support.'
