Stamford Bridge Thread

Heres something to chew on, if we stay at the bridge in the coming years ticket prices will continue to go up on a probable annual basis, should we move to a new stadia then it could mean cheaper tickets in the longer run with less increases.

In order to be financially secure the club needs a bigger stadium to generate more revenue.

It is fair to say that the board have tried their best at looking at opportunities to expand the Bridge but that is not a feasible option for varios reasons. The last option is to move and that is what the club have decided.

Just because Emirates has a shit atmosphere doesn't mean our new stadium will have a shut atmosphere. If anything, Emirates is a lesson we must learn from. High intimidating stands and seats close to the pitch should be be priority. Acoustics should be given more priority than the aesthetics

I've never been to the Bridge, but I'd feel very sad if CFC left it. People who went to games would probably feel 10 times worse...still it's just the way things are. Money, money money...and money

I know it's all about money and that is why you and I and millions others have started supporting the club. Without money Sky wouldn't have bothered broadcasting premier league across the globe and we wouldn't have had these fans on the forum.

Didnt this years increase come after 4 years of staying the same for the goons?

[dave30 728]

Something on Talk Sport right now about it . and then in new stadiums in general .

One thing is certain though, with fair play rules coming soon, status of our club has and the long term goals we do need a big stadium.

The atmosphere will not 100% be shit. Porto, Benfica, Galatasary have moved to new stadiums recently and their atmosphere has not gone. The possibility of cheaper ticket prices might bring back some of the older, louder and more passionate fans at games

all we need to do is introduce safe standing . Cheaper tickets , bigger gates and improved atmosphere . problem solved .

There isn't just one ground per country which can host Champions League and Europa League finals, otherwise you would miss out on a ton of good stadiums. If we build a state of the art, iconic stadium in the region of 60,000 capacity do you think we are going to get turned away?

Wembley can only hold around 20 events per year or something due to some restrictions. It is too far away from the Bridge too, and the seats are red!

You know what kind of stadium we would need to build to match Wembley...
