Stamford Bridge Thread

Why we can't Stay with " Stampord Bridge"?

are you referring to the lunatic fan who used to call it stampord or do you truly think it's called stampord bridge? anyway, there are naming right issues.. the stadium's name doesn't belong to Chelsea FC afaik.

I want a link to this lunatic fan! 1000 reps to the first person to link me!

from wikipedia:

"The pitch, the turnstiles, and the naming rights of the club are now owned by Chelsea Pitch Owners, an organization set up to prevent the stadium from being purchased by property developers again."

E: actually it seems they own both, the stadium's and club's naming rights.

But we can buy the rights no?

I'm not aware of that, I suppose we could. But I think the club will opt for a sponsor's name, since it will compensate some of the building costs.. something with Samsung seems most likely.

Beautiful pic!

^^ OMG, i am jizzing at the Nelson column idea thing. It would be so epic having that lighting light up the statues of Osgood Zola Terry and Lampard on top of the columns. DAMN that will be so intimidating with them all looking smack in the middle of the pitch. This is our house. lol. Best stadium ever. As nice as Allianz looks, every new stadium under the sun looks like that or simillar this will distinguish us and be the most epic stadium ever.

That is just stupid. Every decade or two we will have new legends. What then?

Instead we should have the statue of the Blue Lion Holding the Staff (like the one from the crest) on all the four Chimneys. It may also be interpreted as the "Blue Lions Den"

Im not against it I just think that justin is being very disrespectful because he is in essence saying that we should just tear Stamford Bridge up as soon as possible and show no respect for our past

Totally agree. Chelsea and Stamford Bridge are synonymous, like Liverpool and Anfield.

Stamford Bridge maybe small but it is just beautiful. Just freakin beautiful and Battersea will never be as good as SB for me

[warnie_666 1,081]

It would only be deemed successful if this mean ticket prices fall and we can fill the bloody thing. No point in having a massive 15,000 seat tier if the majority of those seats are empty. Of course initially it won't matter since everyone will spend whatever to be there first time, but after it will become a problem. Look at the Emirates, their ticket prices are extortionate and have an awful atmosphere because of it.

Its a business common sense to lower ticket prices with more seats.

10 seats at 5 dollars = 50 dollars in revenue

20 seats at 3.5 dollars = 70 dollars in revenue

Therefore with the new stadium, the supporters will be happy as ticket prices would be lowered and the club will gain more revenue from it. Everyones happy.

Instead of building a new stadium the FA should just give us Wembley.

What shits me about the new stadium is that Ossie is buried at Stamford.

[Strike 7,217]

How many years will this take?

[RamiCFC9 258]

Well Chelsea and SB might be synonymous, but stadium with such low capacity is also synonymous to mid-table.We need new stadium asap.And CPO's should definately stop bitching around and think about the club not themselves.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If the stadium will look "traditional" with something iconic (the chimneys) and will look nice (brick materials and glass), the pitch must be very close to people (like SB) and overall look will not be similar to mosque, factory or sth, but STADIUM in classic way, I Am for it, other way I prefer SB.

But the board should realy try to expand SB somehow (buy land around,...), dreams...

I take it you haven't read the extensive report on possible expansions of the Bridge?
