It is also a long walk from Sloane Square or Fulham Broadway. Sixty thousand people stomping through those busy streets on match days would be a planning issue to start with.

Im not sure about London, but mass transit and parking are the biggest considerations here for stadiums. Traffic can be a nightmare getting out of stadiums.

It's often about excitement, energy, involvement, noise. The situation with 'Westview' definitely isn't going to help. P.S. I should point out that the West Stand is where I've been for years though I'll be in The Shed in future. Back to where it all started so many years ago. Sort of.

How would game attending fans feel about a large stadium at Earl's Court or a small to medium stadium at Stamford Bridge? I don't get down to watch Chelsea often, but for me personally it wouldn't make any difference. I get the bus to Earl's Court and walk to the Bridge from there. Earl's Court is about 10-15 minute walk away from Stamford Bridge so it's hardly a move that would put people out. If moving was the only option available, I think most people would pick that as the ideal place to move purely from the proximity to where the Bridge is. I think it would actually be the more logical option to trying to renovate Stamford Bridge which is fraught with problems to redevelop. The issues involved I think would end up resulting in a redevelopment costing nearly as much as a brand new stadium anyway. Certainly from the owners perspective, I could see a new stadium that can be built from the ground up to be far more attractive and that option would also allow us to build a stadium whilst continuing to play at Stamford Bridge until it's ready. I think the biggest issue is for the CPO it goes beyond Stamford Bridge, it's having an element of control on the club as a whole to ensure there's no threat to what we see the club to be. Giving that up I'm not sure would be on the table. The only way this would have legs is if Clearlake/Boehly can placate by offering some form of binding assurances at their end with regards to the club.

This one at a time, stand-by-stand approach will take forever and it also may end up looking like shit if not done the right way. xPetrCechx and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
