Liquidator 5,176 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think if they keep the 4 chimneys they could make it look sublime.The problem is that Battersea Power station is one of those marmite buildings. Some people absolutely hate it while others love it. Personally I would be embarrassed to have my team playing in the old power stationPast work from the architects of our potential new stadiumhttp://www.kpf.com/projects.type.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Would be interested to see what the plans will look like. Certainly looks to be plenty of surrounding area. Would the plan be to incorporate the current station or demolish the lot and rebuild would be what I'd like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong centreback 157 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Couldnt be built inside the power station as its not big enough, the chimneys also need sorting as well due to the fact they are well over their life expectancy so they need pulling down before they fall down, this could be the reason that they made the offer to the cpo, the debt on the site has matured and its possible for the lenders to call it in so puts any new bidder in a good position should that arise as the current owners dont have the money.Id imagine that the power station shell if kept (not totally impossible to demolish) would be turned into shops or offices etc whilst the new ground would be built on some of the other parts derelict site.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just noticed you can go around the outside of Stamford Bridge in street view now. They have blurred out the player faces on the shed wall though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Might as well stay where we are. Gourlay and Buck and the rest of the board are delusional, and will realise soon enough that the arse will fall out of football. Bubble is about to burst..Man Utd tickets and season tickets available on Ticketmaster now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 There is not enough demand for a stadium at the moment although there may be in 10 or so years time but that is a long way off.Yes we usually sell out pretty quickly but lets not forget that last summer Season Tickets were practically on general sale. Liverpool and Man U have thousands on their waiting lists and they have bigger stadiums than us. Every CL group game went on general sale this season too (although that may be due to the ridiculous price increases) and Swansea, Norwich, Wolves, Fulham (CC and league), Aston Villa have all had tickets go on general sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 does anyone who was at the Fulham game know if the big screen was up and working above the Matthew Harding end?

Liquidator 5,176 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So when is this naming rights deal that Gourlay supposedly struck in 2011 to be announced in 'early 2012' going to be revealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So when is this naming rights deal that Gourlay supposedly struck in 2011 to be announced in 'early 2012' going to be revealed?I was reading about the Bundesliga's state of finances and I came across this;Bundesliga clubs claim that they wouldn't raise prices much even if they could. "I've asked many club officials: Why don't you increase ticket prices until the first seat remains vacant in the stadium?" said Frick. "Their first answer is always that they would lose money from sponsors, because they want to see full stadiums." That strategy is paying off. The Bundesliga is thought to be taking in more sponsorship money -- some $800 million annually -- than any other league.This science seems simple, yet the EPL & club seems adamant their strategy will work better. It's clearly not because our commercial revenue is poor***See ESPN's blog entry on the success of the Bundesliga here**See Swiss Ramble's latest post on Chelsea's numbers this last year here Rambo and capriccioso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,492 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 i hope the stadium isn't named sports direct arena or sth..... FranklyFrank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
