Stamford Bridge Thread

[MikeCFC 45]

From what I understand, the Say No CPO campaign isn't because of the initial point of moving but because of not enough information provided by Chelsea FC? Especially with the question of what happens after 2012 (when they say the will range out of the 3mile radius)

Am I right in thinking this? Or are they against Roman owning 100% of the club?

The latter is a ridiculous reason imo.

It's the former mate.It's not Roman's fault he has a group of idiots running his club.These are just moneymen.

If the NO vote gets turned in then Bruce Buck and Ron Gourlay should both resign.

That's a fair reason then.

Even I hold concerns about moving out of that area. Earl's Court must be the main target, but obviously they can't promise that. It does seem a bit questionable about why they're trying to act so quickly.

I'm sure the CPO realise that this day would come, they were never supposed to be permanent as it is. Only to save the ground under Bates. The club must do all it can to convince the CPO that the 3mile radius is top priority.

What I don't understand is why doesn't Chelsea wait till they decide on a location to move to?

Agree about the resignation, though I'm sure Roman would rather keep Buck on. Dinosaur can f*ck off.

Not that ridiculous LDN . Conspiritorial I know, but is it any coincidence that RA could potentially lose £3bn in two months time, but also want the ability to sell off the whole club at a momemts notice ?

True point.

However there's no indication Roman's looking to leave. The timing is questionable, but I think it's worth trusting him. Buck has stated the club's looking to become more self-sufficient, I think this is a major step in doing so.

Not looking to leave. We suppose. The oligarchs are being rained in, hence the case with Berezovsky. Life takes mad turns a lot of the time -again fanciful -but guaranteed theres enough people who'd like to put bullet in Abramovich -and who'd have thought MHs' helicopter would crash.?

I think RA getting full control of SB as an insurance policy. If hes not, then make all the CPO shares transferable to the new groiund . Simples.

Can some one explain me the situation?

This CPO has 12000 members and they will vote on October 27 for or aginst this move?

Why campaigners are urging supporters to vote No at a special meeting of the CPO on October 27???

True. Very true points.

It's going to be hard for Gourlay & Buck to convince the CPO. Both parties have legitimate cases.. It does make sense for Roman to want full control, it also makes sense for CPO to want their own Plan B should RA call it quits.

Will be an interesting month, that's for sure.

1.Why campaigners are urging supporters to vote No at a special meeting of the CPO on October 27???

2. IF Roman will complete this move.he will be the owner of the SB??and then we will cn sell him and buy a new one?

The majority of CPO's want a say in the running of new Stadium ie restoring Osgood's ashes,(which will be on the consent of his widow) and restoring the Matthew Harding stand.

The club want to disslolve the CPO.They have absolutely no regard for the Chelsea fans pre Abramovich.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

if i understand right,the CPO members afraid that the fans will not involved in the process of building the new stadium?

yes partly that.

They also dont want the club to move to an area far away from where we are at the moment, which would result in us losing our identity as Chelsea. We have played at Stamford Bridge for 106 years too (since we were formed) so many people see it as wrong for us to move away from our ground

We can't move yet! We have just ordered a new TV screen for above the Matthew Harding Stand!!!!!

The CPO didn't exist until 1993.

[MikeCFC 45]

The fact is we will not be moving anytime before 2020.A site may already of been found,but construction would not begin overnight.It's not rocket science!

I smell a nasty rat,and it's got Buck and Gourlay written all over it.

Those who favour a move to the London Borough of Brent.Enjoy your new ground!

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

lol ok "Liquidator".... (what's your name??).... now i can understand...

so the chiefs of chelsea need to give the fans a Promise for this things...

I think RA controls those two puppets though. At the end of the day hes only doing what all the American Premiership Club owners are doing. In fact not as bad, its not 100% profit hes after, -but he does want it to be all his in case Putin demands the Russian peoples money back.

The club has to understand we can't just give up CPO on a loose promise of someone possibly doing something good a few years from now, maybe. I am not someone who says he would never consider a move away from SB, I would, I would consider any serious proposal, but at the moment we have nothing tangible except a "Trust us" and them wheeling out JT in a very transparent act of cheap PR.
