Rhino's Skin

would have thought so if they have to dig down 4 metres

I will pass on your details at the next board meeting ;-)

Good to hear that fears of corporate ring of silence have been dispelled. The 2 ends will remain corporate free and the away support will still have SE corner but 3rd tier only.....no increase in allocation. Lets hope they stick to this

yes....starting summer 2017 with a 3 year rebuild

With the stadium design reports of going back in time to the original royal blue, I hope that Adidas will do the same for kits soon. Would love to see a slight modern twist of 1970's kit and colour in the near future

So you say you are treating them as equals and then yet again lay into one of them without knowing the full facts and details and coming up with conspiracy theories of your own such as 'forced' into signing for another club. Yet again.....treat them as equals. For goodness sake, we even let another legend sign for another club and he went on to play several matches against us including helping his new team kmock us out of the FA Cup. Then we built a statue of him

Wierd......you applaud and praise someone who wanted out of their contract to play for another rivel club yet castigate another legend who had no contract and was a free agent to do what he wants without being accountable to anyone. Why can't you just treat them both as equals that have some serious history with Chelsea and will both always be respected by match gping support

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

He didnt want to be on the bench for another season. Doubt we have to pay remainder of his contract as he has signed a new deal with a new club that he chose to leave us for.

How wrong to compare the scenarios between him and Lampard.Chelsea (Mourinho) wanted to keep Cech and he still had another year of contract. Cech chose to leave early and chose Arsenal and signed a 3 year plus permenant deal. Yet with Lampard, Chelsea had let him run down contract and was free to do what the hell he wanted including a temporary deal with City

See ya Cech. 1. He didnt want to be a benchwarmer 2. He could have gone to a number of clubs but obviously a club that is consistantly top 4 and in London easily had the greatest appeal to him 3. Pointless Chelsea trying play hardball over a fee. 10m this year or nothing next. At least thats another decent amount added to the pot. 4. Was he actually 'all that' in the last 3 years or so? Seem to remember posts on Chelsea forums slating him for mistakes at set piece crosses, near post goals being let in and his poor kicking out when he was first choice. Anyway, hope the best for him outside of football and that the alleged faults above continue to haunt him especially against us

You are welcome....next week same time for Geography or Maths?

It does if there is a steeped one tier stand.....many grounds used to have spion kops. Name taken from a steep bank from the Boer war

Its just supporters who reckon they are ITK and are close to known figures at the club. So, I get it third hand so to speak......thats why I used allegedly, but it would be great if they were right and there are 4 different scenarios being presented to us next week

Twickenham gone quiet

So we will allegedly get 4 different ideas and designs to look at next week over the 4 days. Hope one of them involves a single tier kop end for home support that could be converted to rail seat standing should things have changed by then

So with allegedly thousands of supporters going to the Bridge next week over 4 days, do you think Chelsea might have the new kit on sale ( home kit at least) ?

Bored already.....hurry up August. Get the money spinner in USA out of the way, then Charity Shield ( cant be bothered with that one....someone else using my ST loyalty points for first dibs) ...then looking forward to Fiorentina ...more interesting and relevant than CS as its last pre season and we get to see where we are at

if the pitch is lowered to below street level ( ala the bernabau )then that is one restriction covered i.e. height of buildings in that area. All 4 stands will then have to be knocked down unless the architects have come up with an ingenius plan to keep one of them i.e. the west stand and construct beneath it. Find out next week at the conference/meeting the club are holding what ideas they have in mind. No one on this site knows for sure and its all speculation meantime

Wish we would go back to Royal Blue home (not these other shades) then yellow for away and white for 3rd. Not one black kit has ever seemed or ever looked decent P.S. and while I am at it....no one with a waist of more than 34 inches or past mid thirties should be seen in colours. Fellas that is. It just dont look right,

A lot of support seemed to be happy with us going back to yellow as a 2nd kit and are disappointed it hasnt been updated for this season. You could be fickle about the shade of yellow but then again most old skool will tell you that for years its been the wrong shade of blue.

last seasons yellow kit was great. More traditional

Some Japanese tour group wearing new shirt at the bridge today.

nothing wrong with a bit of red on kit providing its paying respect to those it was meant to and not just put on to allegedly look good

So in other words Sky havent spoke to anyone but a friend of a friend who knows Oscar might have said on social media that Oscar could stay at Chelsea
