Stamford Bridge Thread

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I agree this building could potentially become an epic stadium, but remember, there are 9 other companies bidding for the site. Its far from a done deal.

[Bridge Soldier 9]

Yep. Hoping Roman lives up to his dodgy reputation by bribing all the right people.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

It`s very well building a 60,000 odd stadium.....are we goner fill it?

Depending on ticket pricing, I reckon we could.

[Kieran. 6,317]

This was my preferred location, so I'm happy I guess.

[chrismada9 1,948]

This is a really exciting prospect... if it DOES happen! As some articles have said, there are other parties interested in the site, but we can see what happens!

"Battersea Bridge" ... that's not a bad name for the stadium!

Depending on ticket pricing, I reckon we could.

With a bigger capacity, ticket prices probably should go down. This step up is needed and since it's impossible to expand the bridge a new, iconic stadium to put us up with the big boys in terms of architecture is an exciting venture indeed. I want guests to leave the bridge awe-struck.

so this is the place...

I don't like the idea of moving from the Bridge, but if this helps the club go on with it.

Pink Floyd!

That's the hope!

Just call it 'The Bridge'.

We can Stay with " Stampord Bridge"?

[Henri 115]

Would be a fantastic epic/iconic place to build our new home. But it will be very sad and emotinal to leave the Brigde.

But sometimes you have to put your emotions away, it has to be if we want to follow the money road in modern top football,

40-41.000 is simply not enough.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

It's obvious that the ideal way was to expand SB... But if we can't so...

[Kostas 1,468]

...

Cue Sloth's wankfest.

[Henri 115]

Cue Sloth's wankfest.

Intelligent answer from a man who call himself the devils advocate, i rest my case.

[Kostas 1,468]

It wasn't supposed to be an answer. Get over yourself.

[Henri 115]

It wasn't supposed to be an answer. Get over yourself.

Fair enough, move on...

As strange as it sounds I am not really looking forward to it. I just love Stamford Bridge and how it perfectly fits our identity as a club- the history of the stadium and the fact that they still play on the same pitch that was first played on in 1905 when it was a massive open bowl. We are one of very few clubs to still be playing in their original stadium. Chelsea FC would not exist without Stamford Bridge being built and we will be leaving some incredible memories there. That Shed Wall is Chelsea, the 1970's East Stand is Chelsea, Fulham Road is Chelsea, Brompton Cemetery is Chelsea, the District Line and Fulham Broadway are Chelsea, the posh houses in the area are Chelsea. It is all the little things that make me love Stamford Bridge. All of those memories will be flattened and replaced by a housing development.

However, we should look to the future. We have the potential to compete with Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and our ground could be a really intimidating place. Battersea has always been the hub of our 'real' and 'hardcore' support and a 15,000 seat version of the old Shed end will be truly incredible. The club could have a real impact on the lives of people in Battersea and it would be the springboard for us going from being a regional club to a worldwide club loved around the world.

As much as I love Abramovich for what he has done, this will in my opinion be the final nail in the coffin of the 'real' Chelsea FC.

proper ground.

The real CFC died the day he bought us. But your right its sad to think of CFC leaving the brigde, but has to be if we want top players,

and be ready to compete with top clubs in the future.
