Stamford Bridge Thread

[TIWATZ 64]

...And we're pissing it all away on some 60,000 seating soulless bowl...

Yeah I heard that you read the Chelsea FC statement... It will be RECTANGULAR and not a bowl with a 15.000 stand behind one of the goals for home fans, it will be awesome.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Love this especially the freakin 15k stand behind goal!! Finally fucking-ly we'll have a "stadium!". Stamford bridge is the one and only but let's be real. If we don't move everybody cries on here about results on pitch and then look and see were missing 20k in sales of attendance!! (even Forbes tells us to move into 60k stadium) In the end people love the team CFC, not a stadium, and if u want CFC to do well u will want them to move to battersea. Yeah I love stadiums too, but not when its at the expense of club!!

Use your heads "say no cpo", and fuking let us move. Everybody know the history so no need to throw it up in air and cry about it, as I've seen not on here but in general from many "say no CPO" followers.

FUKING 15k STAND BEHIND GOAL!! "I CAN ALREADY FEEL HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STAND!!"

WHOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

I hope the club hire dodgy Aussie contractors and the stadium isn't ready until 2020. That gives me enough time to get to a game at the Bridge at least once.

People getting excited need to calm down because this is far from confirmed. There are 9-10 other interested parties and I've read that there's quite a lot of opposition from City Hall as well

Would be...EPIC,

[kiaretta985 131]

I spent some times looking for news about that. Apparently all the rockers are not happy with this. In all fairness, I prefer to see it converted into a stadium than razed to the ground to make room for extra luxury apartments.

seeing somethin' like this during the game would be epic

but what about fans transport? there's NO underground stations around BPW. Will they somehow expand the northern line?

“Working with architects and planning experts, we have developed a plan to preserve all the significant aspects of Battersea Power Station. The four iconic chimneys and wash towers along with the Grade Two listed west turbine hall and control room will be restored and retained in their original locations and provide a unique architectural backdrop to a world-class stadium.”

To me that means not building inside the power station but wall2wall with it or like this picture posted earlier:

Agreed. I can actually see them using the old power station shell as the concourse for that all-new 15,000 seater grandstand.

As TIWATZ stated, the club have already confirmed it will be rectangular, so the complete opposite to the emirates.

We need to move. Stamford Bridge will always be in our hearts like Highbury to Arsenal fans but it is time to go to the next step and keep getting bigger. Battersea power station is ideal and the ideal location. It has to be done. Even Liverpool and Tottenham will have to move soon too, it's just todays football. Has to be done!

Think the plan is for the club to contribute financially to the expansion of the northern line.

Chelsea. Batter-sea.

I like it

It would be sods law that those statues on the chimneys would blow over in the wind

Football, bloody hell.

This is all your fault Sir Murdoch. Disgrace to Australia.
