kiaretta985 131 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I spent some times looking for news about that. Apparently all the rockers are not happy with this. In all fairness, I prefer to see it converted into a stadium than razed to the ground to make room for extra luxury apartments.seeing somethin' like this during the game would be epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonymcgreat 19 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 but what about fans transport? there's NO underground stations around BPW. Will they somehow expand the northern line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 “Working with architects and planning experts, we have developed a plan to preserve all the significant aspects of Battersea Power Station. The four iconic chimneys and wash towers along with the Grade Two listed west turbine hall and control room will be restored and retained in their original locations and provide a unique architectural backdrop to a world-class stadium.”To me that means not building inside the power station but wall2wall with it or like this picture posted earlier:Agreed. I can actually see them using the old power station shell as the concourse for that all-new 15,000 seater grandstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 some 60,000 seating soulless bowl. As TIWATZ stated, the club have already confirmed it will be rectangular, so the complete opposite to the emirates. capriccioso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 We need to move. Stamford Bridge will always be in our hearts like Highbury to Arsenal fans but it is time to go to the next step and keep getting bigger. Battersea power station is ideal and the ideal location. It has to be done. Even Liverpool and Tottenham will have to move soon too, it's just todays football. Has to be done! ulsterchelsea and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 but what about fans transport? there's NO underground stations around BPW. Will they somehow expand the northern line?Think the plan is for the club to contribute financially to the expansion of the northern line.

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Fuck modernization, we are Chelsea Football Club. We would not exist if it were not for Stamford Bridge. It is part of our history, our culture, our very fabric of existence. And we're pissing it all away on some 60,000 seating soulless bowl. How many clubs in Europe can say they have stayed in one stadium their whole existence? And the local council reckon it's very possible to expand Stamford Bridge. It would also sink us in years of debt, just like what's happened to Arsenal.Say No CPO! Yankees will be a bigger club then Chelsea will ever dream to be. And you think you are better then such a club?If big clubs move so shall a club trying to grow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I apologise if this sounds racist or offends anyone, but the 4 columns make the stadium look a bit like a Mosque. Can't have a football stadium that looks like a place of worship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Chelsea Football Club and we would not exist as an entity without Stamford Bridge. And we won't in the future. The CPO will invariably vote 'no' and we'll end up being the Battersea Football Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunaz10 21 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I even managed to imagine the commentary of European nights when the players walk out of the tunnel, the commentator goes, welcome to ------------ the home of Chelsea FC, the most unique stadium in the world where the atmosphere is electric, OMG.... I'm insane..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Personal abuse? Brilliant.This isn't about being better than anyone. It's about sticking up for what we are and not letting plebs like Gourlay wreak havoc. It's about our very identity. We won't be Chelsea F.C. anymore.
