OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Indeed I'm now thinking like the Allianz Arena - Munich moved it outside onto the main ring-road easier to get to, just all round common sense, they even have dedicated trains serving the stadiumThe Allianz is simply the best stadium I have been too - we need something like thatDon't get me wrong, I love the Bridge - but anybody who's been there knows it's tough to get it any bigger and the infrastructure around the ground just cannot cope Not just Bayern fans, but every Fan who visits, loves that Stadium. It's fit for purpose, it's beautiful and it's prestigious. Home fans must feel proud every time they walk in.I wish we fans of Engilsh football would stop expecting our clubs to be servants to their grounds, rather than the other way around. Why is it so desperately important that we must continue watching our team at SB, and why must we commit future generations of Chelsea fans to doing the same? I clearly don't have that gene in my make up because I just don't get it. Muzchap and We Hate Scouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Once West Ham, Everton, Birmingham and Tottenham move we'll have the 13th biggest ground in England. QPR's new stadium could even out do our current capacity. Palace are also looking at increasing to 40k, they could probably add another 2k to that as well. We'd have the 6th Biggest stadium in London alone and 15th in the country if that happened.How can we consider ourselves one of the biggest clubs in the world without a stadium to match it? Embarrassing that people would be against a move and willing to hinder our progress because of nostalgia. zolayes, The Chels, LDN Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekid9 418 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Photo of Stamford Bridge before the Spurs game #CFCI noticed that, assuming it was intentional? looked amazing!

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Any news on Stamford Bridge's expansion plans? Seems to have gone quiet since that brief period in the summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 From the fan forum meeting with the club last month:Ground expansionBruce addressed several questions raised about a new stadium.The Club commented that at present it is not looking at new sites. The two options looked at most closely were Battersea Power Station which has now gone, and Earl's Court. From a construction only perspective it is possible to increase the size of the stadium. However other issues would need to be resolved such as financial viability, ingress and egress, rights of light, property behind the Shed End, listed buildings etc.. Consultation announced in the summer is part of the process but there is no final plan ready. Stadium redevelopment here has always been our first choice.The ideal capacity is 60,000. No application has been made yet and we are still looking at several designs. There are two options for rebuilding, either stand by stand or all in one. We had a short informal meeting with Twickenham as we need to consider all the options. We haven't made the decision on whether to move out during any potential rebuild and are looking at two factors. The first is financial and is a trade off. The other aspect is what the fans would prefer. As regards ticketing at a rebuilt stadium the Club can't make any comment about prices.Safe standing would be considered by the Club in a bigger stadium if the law changes.Asked if there would be a system in place for current ST holders to have priority for new seats in a bigger stadium the club confirmed there would be. magic weeds, Fulham Broadway and CurlyHairLikeLuiz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be in direct view of the main TV camera and away fans would be out of the Shed, don't know why they're only flirting.

They never took it before redevelopment, though the yids reckon they did, and then ironically the club allows them in after introduction of seating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
