Stamford Bridge Thread

Still no proof that there have been rejection from a company. Seen all these clips before..Boring

Chelsea are hardly likely to turn round and say you know what its been 5 years we have said twice that we will announce a sponsor in the coming months but it was actually rubbish and we have failed to find anyone willing to sponsor us for the amount we want on our current stadium, that would never happen and thats the only time youd have proof that thats the case, the most simple answer is usually the right one nobody wants to pay the going rate for a ground name on a established stadia, the closet thing you would have to proof is when the bridge is rebuilt and some american/asian business has their companys name plastered all over the place.

Still no proof. It would have got iut like everything normYally does. You, me or any normal punter does not know that nobody wants to pay or whether other plans were put in place. Just because a sponsor didnt happen doesnt automatically mean there were rejections....just pure speculation by you unless you are privy toboardroom conversations

Hwang also said his company has turned down opportunities for naming rights to various stadiums, including Chelseas Stamford Bridge. The Blues have failed to sell naming rights for several years and want to find a sponsor as part of proposals to move to a new stadium. The club said May 4 that it was bidding to acquire the Battersea Power Station site in London.

Our experience is that even though we put the Samsung name on that, no media mentions Samsung but just the stadium name, so that was the actual reason, said Hwang.

Samsung rejected chance to sponsor stadium, common sense says they would of been offered the chance.

From the clubs website

https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/06/update-on-consultation-process.html

A year ago a study of the area from Fulham Broadway to Stamford Bridge and beyond was commissioned by Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich to examine the potential of upgrading the streetscape.

The study also began to assess the feasibility of an expansion of the stadium capacity within the existing historical site boundary, based on the principles of improving site access, benefiting the neighbourhood and enhancing the spectator experience.

Mr Abramovich has appointed a professional team to assess, in more detail, the feasibility of expanding the existing stadium capacity at Stamford Bridge Grounds.

The process now enters a further local consultation phase. This will include an explanation of the rationale for expansion, driven by spectator demand for more seats and the need to increase stadium revenue to remain competitive with our major rivals, this revenue being especially important under Financial Fair Play rules.

Technical solutions for stadium capacity expansion are being investigated initially.

This stage of the consultation will focus at present on discussing the rationale and technical solutions for expansion with residents and match-going spectators.

Local stakeholders, neighbours, season ticket holders and club members will be invited to comment on the potential expansion.

This feedback, which to date has assisted our progress in earlier stages, will continue to inform the next stage of the study.

all that says is Samsung reasons for not sponsoring any stadium whether new, old, or whatever at that time ....not just Stamford Bridge.

Did they actually enter negotiations about it? I doubt it as they seem very clear at that time about doing shirts over buildings

At the end of the day naming rights or not, providing we stay at the present ground it should always be called Stamford Bridge.

The bridge over a sand creek that was a tributary of the River Thames is still the hallow ground the stadium and rail track was built on.

Would be deplorable if it was renamed and the words Stamford Bridge were dropped but because its still on the same land, most supporters going to the match will still refer to it as "going to the bridge" etc.

Can understand with the reasons that posters above have given and quoted from media articles that it has been difficult to obtain naming rights but in all essence, what will have changed?

Upto 3 new stands but still on same land....still Stamford Bridge

So yes its another one of these topics but guy on my facebook went to a meeting at stamford bridge tonight which was run my Bruce Buck. He said its pretty much 100 percent that we will be moving stadiums. 60k seat stadium and its a matter of when not if. Waiting on finding location.

Thoughts?

will all be for the better in the long run

As far as I can see the most likely answer to this is going to involve rotating the pitch. If they can rake the lower tiers of both the East and West Stands and lower the pitch by several yards, most of the existing East and West Stands could become the ends of the ground with the capacity retained.

If the rotated pitch was placed on the northern edge of the current pitch these might be space to build a new Matthew Harding Stand that extends back across the railway and wipes out the health club.

The Shed side of the pitch would then be much further forward, so there would also be space on that side for a full stand.

Lowering the pitch level allows the new stands to be taller without going much higher. Keeping the East and West facilities intact, if possible, also seems to make sense, and the hotel can stay. Only the health center gets wiped, and you'd figure they could find space to replace that in the new buildings.

It seems to me that it's either do something like this, or it's take everything down and start again.
