from @@EastUpper3 on twitter:

I have just been told that Chelsea are in detailed discussions to buy the Makro site and surrounding properties in Atlas Road NW10..... ....this info comes via a corporate sponsor who has a large business in the same area.

If there is even a hint of truth to this then the cpo should refuse full stop to sell, im all for progress and needs must in regards to a new stadia so am generally in the yes camp, but not at a cost to our heritage, old oak common is an absolute shithole the whole area surrounding it is also a shithole, goes totally against what chelsea football club stands for and if nw10 is the preffered option for a new ground to be built on then im well up for never selling the cpo back to the club.

If it isnt a sw or w postcode then I wouldnt even consider it for a split second, battersea nine elms id be happy with as its traditionally where alot of our support originate from but moving us out of west/south west london is not on, we are not woolwich wanderers, chelsea is west london the glitz the glamour its what sets us apart from the rest of the other clubs in london the country even, it is also a major pull in bringing players to the club, do you see the next big thing coming out of south america for example choosing us hypothetically over madrid if we had a ground in some shithole industrial estate in a dive like north acton/harlesden or in the the pride of london the west end?

If its nw10 then it goes against everything our great club stands for and I personally think it a fucking disgrace if its even being considered, they might as well go the whole hog and move us out of london and down to cobham/guildford.

Chelsea are a West London club, never can we be north of the Thames.

Buck isn't this stupid.. Please tell me he's not..

Battersea would be ideal...

Battersea would be ideal...

In a perfect world earls court or imperial wharf would be ideal, wouldnt need to change pubs you drink in just leave 5-10 minutes earlier to get in ground.

as a cpo member i will be voting no to the move. Abramovitch and his lap dogs can take his club and move but he cant have our name or our ground. My ideal would be to start again ala afc wimbledon at stamford bridge 15 pound entrance goodbye glory hunters and the real supporters get our club back. Piss off to white city or wherever and good riddance.

Question 16. Do you trust CEO; Ron Gourlay?

This really surprised me.

Question 24. How long have you supported Chelsea FC?

i bet if roman gave him 1000 notes he would vote yes in a instant i do agree with him in part though .

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

No surprise with the Ron Gourlay question...

think there will be some principled opposition to this, some things are worth more than money..

(Posted this survey a week ago in the ''Roman Makes Proposal to Pitch Owners '' thread. Glad someone has put it up again

though)

Club wouldnt let it happen, they might not have the freehold but they do hold a 199 year lease on the ground, and im sure they could find away to make it so that no one else can play there till its up.

So we can leave but we must Leave our name and the name of the stadium? I don't there is a price for that.

Seriously becoming worried now.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

I'd seriously reconsider being a London FC supporter...

[manpe 10,861]

I could handle the change of the stadium's name... but the name of the club? That would be too much, and it's already too big of a brand name... Changing it would be a big blow commercially for the businessmen aswell.

This whole London F.C. thing's a joke right?
