CSKA have started building this.

That's pretty unique.

I think it would be a sad day if the Chels were to leave Stamford Bridge. Maybe I feel particularly strongly about this as I'm an old git, but some of the new stadiums are souless and will any new premises still be in the Borough of Chelsea? If not, can it still really be called Chelsea FC?

Presumably the current bridge cannot be expanded?

I feel that it's inevitable considering upcoming FFP rules and the amount of revenue earned by United and even Arsenal just because they have bigger capacity than us. Surely the idea wouln't be easy to digest but I guess one has to consider commercial issue as well while thinking about sentiments

i hope they stay at the bridge. look at fenway park or wrigley field here stateside. these stadiums are roughly 100yrs old, and the teams that occupy them are 2 of the biggest names in baseball, with some of the highest payrolls.

But luckily, this isn't baseball!

Stamford Bridge isn't in Chelsea anyway but I agree we need to stay in the same area.

Why wouldn't we expand the Bridge a bit rather then moving to a new stadium?

we can't get the planning permission to expand anymore...For us to be a long term big club that does not rely on Amramovich, we require a bigger stadium. However would we fill a 60,000+ stadium every home game??

Well If I lived in London and had the money for matches, I'd go on every one of them

I can't answer you on that question though. We could perhaps, but the atmosphere....only if they lowered prices I guess so the true fans go rather then plastic ones.

Thats the main problem with alot of London clubs these days. Ordinary people are priced out of games......

If we charge as much as Arsenal do then that will be it for me.
