Result: Hammersmth & Fulham Council has unanimously approved Chelsea's Stamford Bridge redevelopment plan!!! 🎉🎉🎉 

And that is that. After 2hrs 52mins: Chelsea have planning permission for a new Stamford Bridge. A major moment in the history of the club.

Looks good -but has to get the nod from Mayor Khan.

He became a Liverpool fan allegedly because abuse he got at ...guess which ground ?

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

We can all wax lyrical about how good the ground will look but the real concern is how much tickets will cost in 2021. The average fan has already been priced out and the amount of corporate seating will be off the scale. Wembley looks the only viable option but not sure how much of the ground will be fully open. Doubt we would get 60,000 for the visit of Burnley, Swansea etc although away fans will come down in numbers because of the Wembley effect. Another drawback of playing at Wembley is the area is a massive shithole and makes Tottenham look like Primrose Hill.

I would love to see us being able to take the Shed End back and able to swap our season tickets. Get all us noisey buggas all at one end and raise the roof of our new catherdral!

It would be alot of common and business sense if we made at least the ends safe standing. It gives alot more seats available thus more income OR EVEN BETTER BRING PRICES DOWN.

This is the report on the stage one judgement of the scheme by the Mayor's office. The report is strongly supportive of the plan but includes findings that the rebuild does not fully comply with regulations in a couple of areas. These concern match day safety issues at Earl's Court station, particularly for weekday games, and carbon reduction issues in terms of energy usage. A summary of these is in paragraph 93 but if you search the terms you'll find further details in the body of the report.

I don't think these issues are insurmountable. If they can be resolved then Mayoral approval should happen pretty quickly but the report makes it clear that the club has to provide satisfactory answers, and agree to having the solutions written into the final conditions before they can resubmit the plan for stage 2 consideration.

These things are sent to try us! But it would be great to have the club own the pitch we play on!

LOL I didn't say it was a bad thing. Christ if it wasn't for them I doubt very much if there would be a CFC and certainly not like or where we are now eh!

Iys just I dont know of another club in our situatuin and it can have hassles now n then,

We must still have 190 years left on the lease I wondered what would happen if the club did buy it out?
