The identity we never had? Because SB isn't located in Chelsea.

And it's just a concrete and metal. Without players and games it wouldn't mean that much, memories are important.

Imo this is so wrong.

Interesting to hear a "yes" point of view from a paying ticket fan. I agree that we should vote yes and location does not really bother me. As I have said before though it is easy for me to say that as I am not a local business or buying tickets to watch us on a regular basis. Can totally understand the points of view of fans who are "No" at this stage.

The higher ups at the club obviously could not give a fuck about the true fans and they are defo looking to move somewhere else in London, but then what big club owners do care about the fans espcially in todays climate??

This campaign is a slight disrespect to Roman imo.

I understand the need, but protests, really?

Top man.Make sure that flag gets shown tomorrow.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

if the CPO will vote "No" still we can build a new stadium?

You've eloquently won the argument. No need to elaborate. Brilliant.

The identity that we have as Chelsea football club which have played at Stamford Bridge since we were formed. We were formed because of Stamford Bridge so yes actually it is part of our identity.

That 'concrete and metal' which you describe 'which would be nothing without games and players etc.' is the location of those memories that we have

Sure.

Just with a new club name. CPO own the Chelsea FC name. We'll also be fucked over by FFP because Roman's not allowed to pay by his own pocket.

Memories will live on regardless of where future games are played. Other clubs with just as great memories of their stadium as Chelsea's have moved on and created new memories. Now I do think that Stamford Bridge is much more than just "concrete and metal", but a stadium isn't the whole club either. I endorse whatever's best for the club's future.

The 'protest' is not really about being against a new stadium at all - I think most are open to the idea - it's about the fans losing the last bit of power we have in the club. For me there are too many questions that need answering and hope the shareholders use this opportunity to bring more clarity. I wish the club would stop dictating the fans like we are idiots and have a bit more respect for those who saved the club.

I think that's unfair. Roman could've easily asked for those shares in 2003 before he bought the club. The fact is, he's allowed the CPO's existence for the last 8years. Chelsea only want it back now because they want to move, which is understandable.

Did the CPO really have much input anyway?

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Sure.

Just with a new club name. CPO own the Chelsea FC name. We'll also be fucked over by FFP because Roman's not allowed to pay by his own pocket.

Bruce Buck some ballpark plans contain?

He suggested that something?

i think 65,000.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

[Waterfall 893]

So 450M~550M cost for a 55,000 to 65,000 seat stadium

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

"and the decision has been made that we're not going to move to another stadium unless we can take the proceeds of a redevelopment of Stamford Bridge towards it."

What its means???

[barzil33 0]

so,we dont move to another stadium?
