[quotpost=1198788" timestamp="1453228529" name="We Hate Scouse] The FA have already said that they won't facilitate 2 teams in 1 stadium as it would ruin the fixtures. Won't happen.

 

they are already backtracking on that with the amount of money being offered to play in that eyesore and Spurs matching Chelsea at 15m a year

Wonder if us paying the FA to use their stadium will decrease the amount of fines they give us throughout the course of the season

The FA have already said that they won't facilitate 2 teams in 1 stadium as it would ruin the fixtures. Won't happen.

If they stand by that, it's just pure laziness on their part. There's shared stadiums/arenas around the world in many different sports.

 

Chelsea home, Spurs away. Spurs home, Chelsea away. Simple

there are other factors involved such as local community, policing, transport such as tube and bus timetables rescheduling, car parking, noise pollution etc etc to take into consideration

This is the toughest question to answer in modern football: Build a new stadium, which could ultimately put Chelsea on the world stage permanently and sell the soul and only home of the club or stay at the Bridge and run the risk of being Liverpool, who struggle to keep up with the ascendancy of their peers?

Personally, I don't think the club can grow in a healthy manner if you dig up its roots. I've heard stories of how long-time Arse fans are disappointed with the Emirates and the soulless atmosphere there. That stadium promised to bring revenue and sustained success. What have Arse accomplished since they started playing at the Emirates?

In a little over a year, West Ham are about to move into a stadium they have no hope of ever filling. They will be a Championship club peddling £1 tickets to watch a club with a jaded fan base and a track around their pitch, not to mention their debt which threatens to sink them further.

Besides, don't the Pitch Owners have a thing that would force Chelsea to change their name if they ever left the Bridge? We might as well be MK Dons if that happened, plastic pariahs of the game. I am an American and I watch professional sports teams leave their communities often; one basketball team threatened to leave Sacramento, California to be the third team in the Los Angeles area. They wanted to change their name when they got there. If Chelsea does that, we might as well call it what it would be: Chelsea Football Franchise. As it stands, Chelsea is not a franchise, and it will never be a franchise. It is too important to too many people for that to ever happen.

I don't like the idea of moving. Stamford Bridge is home; hell, it's the only home we've ever had. Arse thought the grass was greener on the other side and look at what they lost on the way there...

i thought this was a recent post then realised it's a gem from the first page. good post

I thought The FA had already said the exact opposite.

I'm sure I heard an FA bod, being interviewed months ago, saying they would go along with this because, "We want to do everything we can to help". Naturally, I took that to mean, We're money grabbers, of course we'll accept a ground share. If the price is right.

Edit: To be fair to them, the impression in this guardian article is that The FA are a bit more open about the fact that it is the money which sold them on the idea of a ground share. In the interview I listened to the line was simply to push the we are here to help the clubs cover story.
