Like the look of that, very decent and set apart from the rest.

May I suggest that the new layout gives a respectful nod to tradition, make the new Lower West Stand seating in the form of endless rows of concrete benches (painted blue naturally) and offer a £1 transfer from the Shed Stand.

Benches, benches gis us a song

Revenue versus a metre here and there.

Which could lead to more attractive football & easier to break teams down = wins=more revenue

I like the battersea power station stadium plans more...disappointed that it did not go through..

There never were any Battersea Power Station stadium plans; just one single concept drawing. Not picking on you alone but that amount of whingeing and whining I've seen from Chelsea fans since the application has gone in is ridiculous - with criticism of everything from the design and the building materials to the need to move to Wembley for three years. I just don't think people realise how lucky we all are.

Rubbish. The pitch isnt exactly the smallest in the prem anyway...think that honour belongs to West Ham or Tottenham

FIFA has a really nice initiative to standardize the pitch size to 105x68 meters. I think this is a really decent pitch size and from what I have seen this is the size it will be...

No more free view if you live in a house across the road.

I know that we all are lucky to have a owner like abramovich...I actually like the new stadium..i just said that i liked the battersea station plan(even if it is a concept) more.

too narrow...only the pitch at West Ham is as narrow as that. Maybe they meant 68-69 metres or 75 yards

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

I would Increase the pitch size at the expense of a few thousand seats.

You probably missed it but pitch size was confirmed to be at 105m x 68m which is standard size now. Suprisingly even Camp Nou has the same measurements while it looks like their pitch could be very well used as an emergency landing station ...

New opened stadiums like San Mames or Bordeux have the same pitch size.

wonder if city and utd will have to reduce theirs to conform......Everton, Palace, Liverpool all to small then. Will it become mandatory?

It is 68 indeed, just like World Cup pitches. I wrote the number by memory so sorry about that

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

This is my Chelsea where real football fans watched the team through thin and even thinner. Now it's a haven for middle class tosspots and tourists who spend most of there time taking photos and frown if you swear or start singing. Absolute wankers the lot of them.

Couldn't be bothered reading, apologies, but does it say anywhere where we will play whilst the construction is underway?

No. Still under negotiation.

[kmk108 1,186]

I hate the round then rectangle "opening". I would have gone for the round opening instead of having the bricks falling and ending in a rectangular opening...If anyone understood what I meant that is!

Besides that I dont think it looks bad. Abd honestly, it doesn't really matter. As long as the stadium has a great capacity, comfortable facilities and boost up our revenue, thats what really matters.

No thanks

no it doesnt...but if we end up at Wembley, I hope the club let season ticket holders 'freeze' their ticket until new stadium built.

Can't stand that grotesque concrete jungle of a ground and thankful we only go there every now and then.

Would rather we pay Fulham to build a new stands to bring their capacity to around 32-34k and groundshare there
