warnie_666 1,081 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The idea of moving is to make more money so why would they reduce prices. What would be the point of making the same amount of by selling 55k seats at a reduced price when they can make the same money selling 44k at the current prices.The example I provided was for a game.Over a season we assume to have 30 home games.42000 by 30 by 60$ each= 75.6m60000 by 30 by 45$(I'm being generous) each = 81m Add the naming rights for 15m and that's 21 million more a season.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 There are millions of people who miss out on actually going, and their only experience of Chelsea FC is through millions of pixels on a TV screen. I think for those people its easy to make judgements.I would prefer to stay at the bridge but I am more concerned about the Clubs future 15 yrs down the line.You tell me how we can sustain with the Financial Fair Play rules coming up in few years. The rules states that your transfers should be funded by the money the club generates be it by sale of merchandise or gate receipts.The fans don't want the club to raise the prices of the ticket. The fans don't want the club to move.The fans don't want the club to sell the naming rights.How exactly do you think the club can be self sufficient and avoid the sanctions from FFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley was £800 million. I'm sure the club will want to get some of that money back. People suggesting ticket prices would go down if we went to a new stadium are completely wrong. If anything they will go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 There will be 101 ways round the Financial Fair Play rules, guaranteed. Some clubs will get away with it. and they're so fickle, it will have changed by then.They have problems filling the stadium now, so a 60k seater would be no guarantee. As far as fair play revenue is concerned, that can be merchandise, individual broadcast rights, and as we've seen with Citeh their sponsorship. In an ideal world they will look at revenue as a whole so if they get in 20,000 more people who pay less for the tickets but they make up the revenue on beer etc then that can work, they should also consider that by having a price point which enables the younger generation in they will be guaranteeing attendances over time because the 17 year old who bounces behind the goal today may well turn into the grizzled middle aged boo-er who wants to sit on the half-way line in 40 years time. And it is important to get following football into people's veins if they want to keep a full stadium.I just hope they take things like that into consideration, and dont see TV money as a never ending pot, and a substitute for proper fans/atmosphere. Like I said these things dont matter if you only watch on TV, so no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they do and that is why they are requesting the land from the CPO. They want the land so that they can build a residential or commercial complex and sell it. That helps fund the new stadium. Arsenal did the same with the land at Highbury and they broke even in no time and now are generating profit. The arsenal stadium cost 380m from scratch We aren't building a 90k seater like Wembley. Yes, if the club doesn't get the freehold of the land then there is a possibility that the prices may sore. But if Roman can get the lbs to fund the new stadium I am sure the prices won't go up. lesson has to be learnt from Arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! strong centreback 157 Posted October 9, 2011 Popular Post! Share Posted October 9, 2011 from @@EastUpper3 on twitter:I have just been told that Chelsea are in detailed discussions to buy the Makro site and surrounding properties in Atlas Road NW10..... ....this info comes via a corporate sponsor who has a large business in the same area.If there is even a hint of truth to this then the cpo should refuse full stop to sell, im all for progress and needs must in regards to a new stadia so am generally in the yes camp, but not at a cost to our heritage, old oak common is an absolute shithole the whole area surrounding it is also a shithole, goes totally against what chelsea football club stands for and if nw10 is the preffered option for a new ground to be built on then im well up for never selling the cpo back to the club.If it isnt a sw or w postcode then I wouldnt even consider it for a split second, battersea nine elms id be happy with as its traditionally where alot of our support originate from but moving us out of west/south west london is not on, we are not woolwich wanderers, chelsea is west london the glitz the glamour its what sets us apart from the rest of the other clubs in london the country even, it is also a major pull in bringing players to the club, do you see the next big thing coming out of south america for example choosing us hypothetically over madrid if we had a ground in some shithole industrial estate in a dive like north acton/harlesden or in the the pride of london the west end?If its nw10 then it goes against everything our great club stands for and I personally think it a fucking disgrace if its even being considered, they might as well go the whole hog and move us out of london and down to cobham/guildford.
