Chelsea'S new owner Todd Boehly and consortium investors are to sensationally REBUILD Stamford Bridge one stand at a time.

SunSport has been told that the new owners plan a staged rebuild of the Bridge, with the stands replaced and upgraded one by one.

New owners are bringing back old school signage to Stamford Bridge. 🤩

I have not seen any solid links aside from The Mail and Mirror saying that the new stadium might be at Earl's Court. How would game attending fans feel about a large stadium at Earl's Court or a small to medium stadium at Stamford Bridge?

One hundred percent in favour but I know I'm in the minority on this.

I don't get down to watch Chelsea often, but for me personally it wouldn't make any difference. I get the bus to Earl's Court and walk to the Bridge from there. Earl's Court is about 10-15 minute walk away from Stamford Bridge so it's hardly a move that would put people out. If moving was the only option available, I think most people would pick that as the ideal place to move purely from the proximity to where the Bridge is.

I think it would actually be the more logical option to trying to renovate Stamford Bridge which is fraught with problems to redevelop. The issues involved I think would end up resulting in a redevelopment costing nearly as much as a brand new stadium anyway. Certainly from the owners perspective, I could see a new stadium that can be built from the ground up to be far more attractive and that option would also allow us to build a stadium whilst continuing to play at Stamford Bridge until it's ready.

I think the biggest issue is for the CPO it goes beyond Stamford Bridge, it's having an element of control on the club as a whole to ensure there's no threat to what we see the club to be. Giving that up I'm not sure would be on the table. The only way this would have legs is if Clearlake/Boehly can placate by offering some form of binding assurances at their end with regards to the club.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly 'commits to massive redevelopment of Stamford Bridge', as the Blues abandon plans to move away from their historic home

(though its not really up to him, it requires planning permission)

I want to see pics of what they are planning on doing.

This one at a time, stand-by-stand approach will take forever and it also may end up looking like shit if not done the right way.

It could take the club up to ten years if they rebuilt the stadium “stand by stand” while supporters have been warned that it could take as much as 18 months to clear up the demolition site.

Chelsea could yet find an alternative site but none of the proposals put forward during the Roman Abramovich era are still on the table and the new owners are starting afresh.

No decision can be made without the permission of the Chelsea Pitch Owners who are effectively freeholders of the current Stamford Bridge site.

What is pitch owners stand about new stadium? Are they holding us back? Can Boehly potentially build a new stadium on other place and let them do whatever they want with SB?

The club is contractually bound to continue using SB as home ground

So they are holding us back.
