KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 How exactly?No idea, mate. I'm no architect/builder I'm sure they can close the gaps in the corners somehow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 893 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Corners are fine. It's just that there's not much you can do with 2 of them because of the power station structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Wow, very unique idea, would love to see some images from outside the stadium. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky 301 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Remember this is a concept drawing, dinstance from the pitch etcetra would not be an issue if it were to go ahead.Still it my fingers crossed regarding the consultation period, hoping that a) they pull out due to it being financially unviable or offer us the power station and co-develope the site with us, could save them some money (underground station, the power station itself?.Pains me to say it but we have to leave the Bridge, never going to be able to develope a suitable stadium on that site.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It looks absolutely stunning. Imagine walking into that as an opposition player, it would be as imposing as the Bernabeu. capriccioso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiomad 22 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 When should we expect to hear more news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 When should we expect to hear more news on this?After the Malaysian investors have finalised their plans and either submit them/retract their bid, due to be announced 28 days after they were chosen as the preferred bidders (which would be 5th July I believe.)Obviously if they (the Malaysians) are to go ahead with their purchase, Chelsea would have to work out a deal with them afterwards and convince them on the merit of building a stadium on the site. I see it as unlikely, but it's not impossible. fabiomad and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 10,227 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Uploaded these photos for everyone. I actually think this could be a great new site for a stadium! termninja, Melanicus, capriccioso and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's all over guys. The Malaysian investors have purchased the site and have permission to build shops/hotel/offices etc. What a waste. Peace. and KonohasOrangeFlash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Malaysian investors have purchased the site and have permission to build shops/hotel/offices etc. What a waste.I know it's all about money, but what a shame that you (the competent authorities) sold a remarkable London site (well, I am not sure if it is "that" remarkable, but at least a well known place) to a foreign investors while you could have sell it to a London-based club which is currently one of the best in the world (-> well representative of the city). capriccioso and Kez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcountryblue 25 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The renders that the club released did look amazing for Battersea, it would have been so unique.Have the club identified other sites? I know there were whispers of Earls Court, but I heard that already has planning permission for house/flats, so that seems unlikely.The only other rumor I heard was that Chelsea were considering a bid for Chelsea and Westminster hospital.It will be interesting to see what happens next.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 What about somewhere in Earls court?It isn't very easy to find land in London. Especially when you are limited to such a small space. There's only 3 or 4 sites that are now available to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
