Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I still think it would be better if they built it inside the power plant itself rather than adjacent to it.Hopefully this is true, although the article mentions 'incorporating' the power plant in the stadium...that doesn't sound good Perhaps, but it's likely that it's not possible. Have these sketches by the architect been posted?Fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Perhaps, but it's likely that it's not possible. Have these sketches by the architect been posted?Fascinating.Can guarantee he was paid thousands of pounds to do those 'sketches'. They're terrible!!

They're terrible!!Apparently the club are working with KPF and Rafael Vinoly, so I wouldn't worry about the quality of people we've hired, it'll be amazing.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 From what it looks like, the shell of the old power plant is going to be used as the facade, while the actual stadium is going to be adjacent to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Grandiose.But perhaps structurally impossible. As mentioned above, it looks like the power plant will be used as the equivalent to the West/East stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong centreback 157 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Impossible the BPS is to small to have a ground built entirely within its current structure, the only way to incorporate the BPS is to demolish the east turbine hall (unlisted part) and use the west turbine hall and smoke stacks as the shell to a stand, the quick sketches apparently from one of the development partners seems to confirm that this is the plan.

xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Comparing Chelsea and Bayern Munich's football "models". Bayern 13,500 standing places: 15 euros for top match. #cfc cheapest (non-member) £52. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 It is possible, if we keep those 4 towers and their supporting structures and knock down everything else.(with apologies to Terminator X) KonohasOrangeFlash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong centreback 157 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 It is possible, if we keep those 4 towers and their supporting structures and knock down everything else.Its not possible as the east turbine hall and control room are listed and so can't be gutted and the size of the power station is 150 metres by 170 metres at their furthest points so the actual inside bit inside to build within is quite a lot smaller so in theory once you had the pitch which would be circa 105 metres long by 70 metres wide leaving next to no room for any stands.So like I said not possible no matter how many pretty pictures are knocked up in photoshop. capriccioso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 if we're moving to battersea power station, just demolish the whole building down and rebuildThe club have already confirmed they'll be retaining the main structure, not tearing down the building is an essential feature of the proposed stadium.
