Who gives a toss about the other matches...we are main event every weekend

2 of them are West Ham and Spurs.....Thursday night Europa league meaning they could also be in the Eastern Bloc . Saving grace means we will play them on Sunday or Monday night

back to the invites they sent out......they are a bit big.....A4 size. Hope I dont have to carry that in my pockets as proof for entry But a nice little history lesson on there.

Good player that Oscar....works damm hard for the team and if he is kept by Chelsea then lets hope this long break will do him good so his level is high all season and not just 4 months. But if he is sold.....lets hope the board sting the potential buyer with 30m plus

Why don't you just accept that posters have their favourites amongst players....even you. And will tend to debate in their favour over criticism.Of course the opposite happens when posters are not too keen on certain players and go out of their way to criticuze at every possible opportunity .... like you do as well. Ok..so thats not bad but then some get personal with insults....like you sometimes do amongst others as well. Its great to debate but personal slanging...meh No wonder you have had loads of warnings

My golden ticket for exclusive red carpet viewing the day before its open to general public has arrived by courier today. happydays

Hope Roman lays on a decent buffet and likes all the lego and cardboard models I have made from drawings on the back of fag packets

See a couple of media outlets are onto the PSG storyline. Not too far for his weakened bones to commute ;-)

No need to research. Am fully aware he has had injuries....was just debating the fact that a poster stated as fact that this was down to him being a triplet

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

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

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

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

Think as we are staying ....it will always be Stamford Bridge. Had we gone to EC or 9 elms then of course...but as it stand most match going support will call it SB no matter what

Links to these 'reports'...you seem very certain and i am playing devils advocate but see no proof on the table....just speculation. The success of the club means we have been very sponserable ....SB included I would have thought. I think new rules about sponsors and how they could rebrand grounds had a lot to do with it otherwise Abramovich could have used his influence over his companies to sponsor.

Or Chelsea FC had a rethink, change of plan etc etc. Because somewhere like Cobham which is state of the art one of the best in the world could have easily attracted training ground spinsorship. SB is not a decrepid old stadium either...looks quite modern as you approach it.

So still no proof that sponsors actually rejected the renaming then. I agree with what you say in principle but the poster did actually state that sponsor deals of renaming/rebranding SB were rejected by potential sponsors. What if say the West Stand stays and the other 3 stands are rebuilt/remodeled? Its still Stamford Bridge

Are you also saying this is because he was a triplet ?....because thats what that part of the debate is about

thanks...remember now.but rejections due to age of ground?Never seen that

Really??? Have never seen anything about SB name being sold in the time Abramovich is here. No mention of it in end of year and pre season reports by the board or in fan club meetings with the them. Do you have links? Would be interesting to see this

depends what happens with FFP....if it sticks I could easily see certain naming rights at SB and possibly Cobham being sold off.However FFP is in a mess at the moment so its safe at the moment. The Yokohama Bridge or the The Gazprom training ground dont sound right ;-)

yeah...because thats their only work at the moment and they all live within walking distance of SB ;-)

thats the whole point.Wembley as an events centre already has its own contracts with regards to certain aspects of staffing such as security catering etc and CFC cant really dictate to them about getting prefferred partners in. They also have their own admin etc. WHS implied that only 30% of SB staff would be required from what he heard from his sources if an event centre like Wembley was used.....I can see the reasons why it doesnt sound great if we made 70% redundant when a move to Upton park meant we kept 100%. Lots of weighing up by Chelsea at boardroom level required

the question wasnt that at all...it asked the differenceand I answered..... We would fully staff Upton park but not other grounds

yup.....totally agree.Been drinking in their pubs in that area last couple seasons and even they are a bit run down. Give us the Olympic stadium for a couple matches though....;-)
