Stamford Bridge Thread

y?

lol

I would imagine this week is more to do with the details behind the ground and the local residence. I'd be surprised if the club turned around and said this is exactly what we want to do with artists impressions to back it up. I think that'll come later.

So we will allegedly get 4 different ideas and designs to look at next week over the 4 days.

Hope one of them involves a single tier kop end for home support that could be converted to rail seat standing should things have changed by then

Don't mention the word Kop mate it just doesn't belong on a Chelsea forum.

The term Kop has a much longer historythan just being about the scousers.

That depends your not going to give me homework are you sir?. Because last week the dog ate my homework

The design of the four new stands will take their inspiration not from the uniform style of most recent stadiums, but from the buttresses, pillars and gothic architecture of Westminster Abbey in whose diocese Stamford Bridge once stood.

^^Many people liked the Battersea plans but I must say that I hated them. This on the other hand I would get excited about.

[bababoom 4,478]

I loved the battersea plans but i have to say this looks just as iconic IMO.

[Billy. 2,742]

that looks amazing tbh, hearing that Roman is going to pay for this out of his own pocket so the clubs money wont be touched

A footballing cathedral it was described as! Taking gothic architecture of Westminster Abbey

Wasn't the original Battersea design similar to this?

Those pics look straight out of the Albert Speer School of Design circa 1942

This could be Iconic! hopefully more pictures come out soon

[Thendo 1,088]

Looks absolutely incredible! Hopefully more pictures will emerge later today, can't wait!

[Rhino's Skin 972]

Lets hope that supporters who want to say something at the consultation process in next 4 days are listened to by the club and designers.

On my way there soon

Good shout. That said, it looks like New Stamford Bridge would fit comfortably inside the big dome at the heart of Germania.
