Looks absolutely incredible! Hopefully more pictures will emerge later today, can't wait!

Lets hope that supporters who want to say something at the consultation process in next 4 days are listened to by the club and designers.

On my way there soon

Those pics look straight out of the Albert Speer School of Design circa 1942

Good shout. That said, it looks like New Stamford Bridge would fit comfortably inside the big dome at the heart of Germania.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will unveil his remarkable vision for the future of the Premier League champions on Tuesday. #CFC

The rebuilt 60,000 stadium Roman wants is to be a cathedral of football, paying homage to the club’s history at their one & only venue #CFC

This attention to detail for the rebuilt stadium has even included researching the exact shade of the original Chelsea blue. #CFC (Mail)

Abramovich is conducting the whole ambitious project as a separate entity run by his people away from Chelsea Football Club business. (Mail)

It would see Chelsea spend three seasons playing at a temporary home, with Wembley and Twickenham two possibilities. #CFC (Mail)

Supporters leaving the new Stamford Bridge will be able to gain quicker access to Fulham Broadway station. #CFC (Mail)

The building of a new stadium would at least guarantee the Abramovich ownership dynasty. #CFC (Mail)

The Abramovich dynasty (1/3): "Part of Roman’s reasons for wanting to spend the best part of another billion pounds on #CFC is to...

The Abramovich dynasty (2/3): "...eventually hand over a stadium fit for a European football superpower to his eldest son..." #CFC (Mail)

The Abramovich dynasty (3/3): "...21-year-old Arkadiy, who has inherited his father’s love of Chelsea Football Club." #CFC (Mail)

All hail the Roman Emperor.

It's gorgeous! Do they have an official online announcement with pictures?

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Good to see Roman wants something iconic rather than something big. Perfect

I was worried we might lose the intimidating close to the pitch atmosphere, but after a bit of research it looks like the stands will be at the minimum UEFA distance from the playing field at 7.5m all tech way around.

Wembley is 18m*

Emirates is 13.8m*

Etithad is 12.1m*

(Proposed) White Hart Lane is 8.2m*

*these are behind the goal distances, couldn't find the gap for the sides

[Liquidator 5,176]

Just been to the exhibition

Provision will be made for safe standing should the law change

tunnel will be on west side instead of current East

not expandable beyond 60k

new entrance over railway lines behind East stand and an iconic square

Inside it will be similar to east stand all the way round in terms of tier sizes and gradients

no kop style due to space constraints

So 60K?

[Liquidator 5,176]

So 60K?

Yes. No future expansion beyond 60k possible

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Yes. No future expansion beyond 60k possible

Looks fabulous. Gotta love that gothic style they are trying to implement.
