New stadium name?

[Liquidator 5,176]

would it matter if it was called 'Samsung Arena' or similar? To us it would still be Stamford Bridge or Nine Elms or Battersea

[Liquidator 5,176]

I can see a lot of you saying that it should be called Stamford Bridge. I disagree for the simple reason that it would not be Stamford Bridge. It would not be that plot of land next to the Fulham road and 2 train lines if you get what I mean. We would be calling it something that it just is not. Arsenal did not call their new stadium Highbury, City did not call their new stadium Maine Road. It would seem like we are saying that it would be the same stadium that we have played in for 106 years

Can Roman just build a home for those people who live around Bridge and than increase it's capacity?

I know on a sentimental level most fans don't want to move from the bridge, and I agree with them, but I also think that it is very important, with the financial fair play rules coming to effect, to get a stadium with a bigger capacity if we want to compete in the future. That's why I don't mind Samsung Arena being the home of Chelsea FC if it brings us a few trophies.

You're right, but the new name should have a meaning behind it.

It's not easy to knock peoples' houses down, no matter how much money you have! Redeveloping SB isn't really an option, unfortunately.

I'm saying it because I don't want to move, but I agree with you entirely otherwise.

What about "I don't give a fuck about what the new name's gonna be cause there's never gonna be a stadium like our Bridge"?!

[Badboy 1,526]

A bigger stadium will just dilute the fans noise and it will not be a fortress until we settle in and that could take 20 years.

Even if the name changes cant see many people referring it to anything but Stamford Bridge

'Im off to the Samsung Staduim' or whatever doesnt sound the same..
