Truly a Cathedral of Football. Makes me proud to be a Chelsea fan.

Squeezed as f***. I hope capacity will beat those of Spurs so over 61000.

[special Eden 78]

Arsenal 60,000, Tottenham 61,000… We should have 62,000!

The stadium look superb, but is it only me that would have the possibility to have a roof ? We are in 2015 and Ajax have had it for 20 years

Would have been stunning to have a roof on rainy match days and use it often in the winter.

I'd prefer to not have perfect conditions every match.

Now and in 2020.

Do we know what the outside materials are going to be? In the new photos it looks very metalic or glass like but in earlier ones it looks brick.

[mrparkersdogbite 15]

The outside will still be London stock brick and the roof will be steel (exact colour not yet confirmed). Hard to make a model of that scale give a proper impression of the materials but the artists impressions of the design give a better idea (see http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1079233&page=34).

Wanted to post this but didn't know where, so I'll just put it here.

Why aren't we funding this ?

I mean, I could easily imagine the supporters singing something like :

We're blue

la la lee la la la

la la lee la la la

la la lee la la la

We're blue

la la lee la la la

la la lee la la la

la la lee la la la

Could give the stands a modern and easy chant ( since a lot of people know this old song )

I know I'm probably talking nonsense but I don't know, even the lyrics comeing after the chorus would be sang well on the stadium

[cfcrules 34]

That's actually a brilliant idea

As the new stadium is designed to keep the noise in it should be much louder inside the stadium I expect? Would be great

I love it. Spending 3 years in the overrated shithole that is Wembley will be worth it, even if I wish it had more GA.

[Billy. 2,742]

Stewards are complete wankers at Wembley, think they're military police...

they are cunts mate, my mate wanted to take a picture and they tried to grab it out his hand with force.

i was well chilled when i did stewarding at Chelsea.

I don't like current design.. It's like a nest and too old design.

I wanted a modern design as follows

Allianz Aren looks like a tyre lying on its side.

Maybe that was the idea!

Apart from the Bird's Nest at the bottom, the rest of them are soulless bowls.

The only "modern" stadium with any atmosphere is the Dragao.
