No plans to move stadiums

Perhaps we should've bid for the Olympic Stadium

[Term-X 7,891]

The Olympic Stadium has no personality, just like the emirates which looks like an airport.

If the club ever decided to build a stadium, i would rather it be like stamford bridge but bigger. Or like Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium. I would hate an Olympic style stadium with a running track.

I would hate an Olympic style stadium with a running track.

Exactly my words. It is so soulless, the fans are far away from the pitch. Similar to the Arsenal's one.

Yeh and Wembley.Not to far from the pitch but compared to the old one its just crap!Lost something

[Kostas 1,468]

The fact is that Arsenal sell 18,000 more tickets each week,we will need to catch up if we want to stay competitive,especially with UEFA's financial regulations around the corner.

Is this really worth it to build a 60 000 seats stadium ? Because if we build a such stadium and make only 45 000 daily attendances, we will lose more money...

In anyway, if we gonna built a new stadium we must built it in the 'english style'. I mean a stadium like Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and many other... Not a stadium of the likes of The Emirates, it sucks !

The thing is, we're the only big club in the Premier League even close to being 'in the black' financially; and we're doing that with a 42,000 seater stadium. The finances at this club were brilliantly run by Peter Kenyon (love him or loathe him), and Gourlay is doing something equally effective (although he isn't doing too much to keep the fans onside at the minute). We don't need to move elsewhere!

Chelsea in talks to leave Stamford Bridge and move to Earls Court

Feel sorry for those potention 8,000 families

[EskWeston 696]

The club HAVE to be seriously looking at moving. Unless they know something we don't about being able to eventually expand the bridge, as a top club in Europe we will have to expand our stadium capacity one way or the other to be able to continue to compete, especially with the new finacial regulations coming into place.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

If it happens, great! If not, won't be too disheartened.

But the only way they'll fill a new stadium is if they first consider making going more affordable! And stop selling our seats to the corporations.

Well they can move the club to Earls Court if they want but they cant call it Chelsea FC as the name belongs to the Chelsea Pitch Owners on a 199 year lease but if Roman wants to buy the name back some people will make a bit of money

Chelsea Pitch Owners was created, and in 1997 it purchased the Stamford Bridge freehold, the turnstiles, the pitch and the Chelsea FC name

[zolayes 14,489]

the pitch owners are chelsea fans wanting the best for the club .Im sure they would hate to see us change our name . I also believe many would

realise that to continue to move forward we might have to leave the Bridge and move to "The New Stamford Bridge",,,onwards and upwards.

[Madmax 9,219]

Mixed feelings for me. It's logical that moving stadiums is needed to secure the financial competitiveness of the club and everyone would welcome it keeping that in mind. But being someone who's never gone to the Bridge before and has always dreamed of doing so, I'd be very sad if we were to move.

Nothing wrong with The Bridge. It's home. Not the biggest stadium but who cares. Stamford Bridge has personality and a great energy. Why move to some shitty big and dull stadium.
