Stamford Bridge Thread

Let's build a statue for Roman.

Is this going to be better(/bigger) than the Battersea Project?

Wouldn't Roman have to fund and approve said statue? That'd be a bit narcissistic, no? [emoji23]

I thought re-developing Stamford Bridge is not possible due to safety, council 'hoop jumping' and the actual area where the stadium sits being an oblong shape?

Is there space for redevelopment? By seeing the google images its packed very much.

we should be a Colossus of Rhodes size statue that straddles Stamford Bridge.

If the new plans are true then yes there's space.

Decking over the district line would make space, it'd be a lot less crowded down Fulham Road etc..

I'd much prefer Twickenham to Wembley.We are a west London club, not north London.

I posted my last work in my topic (Caerulues wallpaper artwork), but I have to do it here as well. It is a fusion of previous (old) and current Chelsea crest. I did it here also becouse it doesn't show us only Chelsea's continuity - it shows us Stamford Bridge continuity. And that cool fact that we are London's first (european champion) and London's finest (better than Spurs, Gunners and others). They had to build Emirates (Arsenal), they had to move to Olympic Stadium (West Ham), BUT WE WILL STAY AT THE BRIDGE, MODERN STAMFORD BRIDGE (2017 plans).

Typical political nonsense from politicians trying to look good for their constituents. They are calling for an answer from the RFU. An answer to what? Nothing pertinent has been said to the RFU by Chelsea so there is nothing to answer. My own guess is that if a formal approach were ever made it would have next to zero chance of being accepted by the RFU in the first pace.

Some RFU board members would undoubtedly hold with the view that, 'Twickenham is the sacrosanct home of rugby and no round ball shall ever darken its doors', while the others would be sold on the idea that the cash just would not be worth the massive PR hit they'd take. That's my view anyway. Other opinions are available.

Alright then, we don't need their precious Twatckenham exclusively. Something about Wembley was rumoured also if i remember correctly.

[Liquidator 5,176]

So are these spanners who go on about how Twickenham is the home of rugby and football should never be played there aware that we aren't moaning about how they often use Wembley and how about half of the venues for the 2016 rugby world cup are Premier League stadia?

[Liquidator 5,176]

Wembley and Twickenham both have regulations on the amount of events that can be held there each season. We wouldn't be able to use either given these regulations and even if we did we could spend over a year trying to get the relevant local council to increase the number of events

That's the beauty with people's prejudices; there's just no logic to 'em.

Anyway, we already know that there's nothing (association) football clubs won't do for money. Sell the soul of the game?

"That'll be a fiver sir!"

"Oops we're fresh out of souls. They've been one of our best selling items. We do have a replica soul made to the highest of standards. Yours for a couple of quid or 50 notes with the name of your choice printed on the back."

Cant help but think about this every-time we talk about potentially renovating/moving from Stamford Bridge.

The dream that was....

Even going back to those pages where we were all excited as fuck that this would happen.

If only the bidding wasn't a closed one

[Liquidator 5,176]

I doubt we would go for a bowl
