Yesterday the CPO members met with the club officials to discuss the clubs offer to buy back the freehold of Stamford Bridge. The clubs future depended on what happened. Everyone had their own opinion on whether the CPO should vote yes or no even if your not a member and it has been on every Chelsea fans mind since it was announced by the club. I am not a CPO member but my dad is and due to work he was only able to vote using the proxy form. I know that he voted yes but he was very undecided. After showing him the proposal from the SayNoCPO he aggreed that their proposal was the best way forward but it was to late to change his vote by then. Their proposal is the following: 1 The club to have total freedom to move to a larger new stadium anywhere within three miles of Stamford Bridge at any time before 2030 so long as Roman Abramovich is still in control of Chelsea. 2. Chelsea to save £1.5m by leaving Chelsea Pitch Owners in place. The CPO will sell the freehold at SB to the club in exchange for the freehold at the new ground on the same terms as currently in place. 3. The club to agree to ongoing consultation, and transparency of information, with the fans regarding any new stadium.* We await with interest your response and we are happy to meet at any time to discuss this further. *The consultation with the club regarding any new stadium mentioned in point 3 would include, inter alia, issues around location, design, facilities and pricing structure. It would also cover discussing evidence regarding the unsuitability of Stamford Bridge for redevelopment. As the vote went in favour of SayNoCPO I think this would be good for the club and for the fans. It means the board can’t just move us anyway and means the fans still get a say in what happens at the club. Taken from chelseatalk.co.uk

It is the first game I am going to this season after finally have a free weekend. I am looking forward to it and hoping to see a really exciting game. Chelsea take on the Arsenal at Stamford Bridge with them needing all 3 points after last weekends slip up to QPR. Arsenal when all their players are at their best can beat anyone but there is no getting away from it their defence is dismal and lets hope they are the same tomorrow. Robin Van Persie has been in very good from over the last few games and has been scoring. Chelsea haven’t kept a clean sheet since the first game of the season so it could be a hard game tomorrow. On twitter and other forums a lot of Chelsea fans were concerned about the amount of game time players were playing and they would be really tired for this game. But when we look at it only the following players might start; Cech, Ivanovic/Luiz and Sturridge so they is no major problem. Taking everything into account I think the team AVB will put out tomorrow is: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Meireles, Mata, Torres, Sturridge. Taken from chelseatalk.co.uk
