The fact is we will not be moving anytime before 2020.A site may already of been found,but construction would not begin overnight.It's not rocket science! I smell a nasty rat,and it's got Buck and Gourlay written all over it. Those who favour a move to the London Borough of Brent.Enjoy your new ground!
That is wrong.CPO's that are voting NO don't particually want to stay at Stamford Bridge,most have accepted that we do have to move as it's nigh on impossible to expand The Bridge due to various complications ie:residents,H&F council etc.The main issue is the location of our proposed site which the club have not disclosed but we believe they already know about. There is a clause in the CPO contract that the club will not relocate more than 3 miles away from Stamford Bridge BEFORE the year 2020 which is nearly eight years away. If the club get the 75% share of the YES vote they require then they have full control of the club,and after 2020 they can move us anywhere they like. Had of the club been more transparent about their plans and intentions then this issue would be resolved more ammicably. Most of us fans favour a move to either Earls Court or Battersea Nine Elms,not the crime ridden ghetto's of NW10 Let's hope the club are listening!.
I'm not a CPO but i know quite a few CPO's.I didn't trust Bates when he dreamt this scheme up in 1993. I've been going to Stamford Bridge since 1980 and hold this stadium very close to my heart.as many other fans of my ilk and those before me do.We also hold very fond memories and story's from the days in the old Shed to the vocal and raccous Matthew Harding Stand. When the news filtered through last week that the Chelsea FC board/directors on behalf of Mr Roman Abramovich wanted the CPO to sell their shares and to relinquish the freehold of Stamford Bridge,it left a very nasty taste in my mouth,as well as all sorts of expletives coming from this mouth as my answer to their offer. I understand the club needs to prosper to compete with the best in Europe,as well as England but this has to be done on the terms of the CPO. I also understand that Stamford Bridge is slightly too small for us to compete with other clubs that have bigger stadiums and better income than we do. Ideally expanding Stamford Bridge would be a godsend as we would get to remain in what's been our ancesteral home for 106 years.No other Premier League club can boast such a feat. But,and their is a but-i do not want Chelsea to move to the bandit country of White City or Old Oak Common in NW10.Battersea Nine Elms would be my personal and prefered choice. My problem with Bruce Buck and Ron Gourlay is that they strongly deny that the they have no immidiate plans to move.If that's the case then why are they in such a rush for the CPO to relinquish their shares? A clause in the CPO agreement states that the club would not move more than 3 miles from Stamford Bridge BEFORE 2020. Who's to say that if/when CPO vote YES the club could u-turn,keep us at Stamford Bridge then move us anywhere they like,from Mill Hill to Moscow(example). Under the current terms i would urge members on here that are CPO's to vote NO as the the board has not been transparent about the immidiate plans for Chelsea FC. There also requires conditions that the CPO should set in terms from extending location clause(very important) to reducing ticket prices for children,students and OAP's. It could also be a good idea for CPO to adjourn the vote on the 27th October to give them more time to get their case together. Some people say the location to where we move is not important.Ahem,it damn well is.The only "fans" that share that theory are the one's that have no relation whatsoever to Stamford Bridge or your common daytripper,JCL to the fly-by-nights from Singapore to Seatlle. I really understand we need a bigger stadium-but let's be sensible about it. Say NO CPO!!.
Guys,this is the Metro we're talking about A 'paper' that is free of charge and a paper i only read on the Bus to deprive me of boredom or nutting a smelly passenger,or the Bus driver for being a cunt. Would be very foolish to sell Alex.Unberfuckinglievable!
