capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 It's not possible to build a stadium at all within that current shell. If it weren't protected, then we could knock down the two walls and retain the support structure+walls of the 4 towers.Something like this:The bits in black, we would demolish; the bits in purple, we would retain.

Kezza 1,965 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The Battersea Power Station Community Group (BPSC) has put in a bid of £1 to buy the Battersea Power Station. If their bid is successful they plan to redevelop the unused site for the local community. Plans include museums, restaurants and music venues.And then...!The abysmal Vinoly plans for Battersea Power Station that we had all hoped were finally dead and buried with the collapse of previous owners REO has come back to haunt all who care about the beautiful building and the quality of life for all those living in its shadow and the surrounding area.Just when you thought it was safe Architect Viñoly has been hired as “creative brain” behind developer Mike Hussey’s plan for a new stadium for Chelsea football club.

strong centreback 157 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 if we're moving to battersea power station, just demolish the whole building down and rebuildIts a partly grade 2 listed building, you can't knock the majority of it down the only bit you can is the east turbine hall.

Don't know why people keep passing over that 'minor' fact in order to design their fantasy ground. I think the plan that's been released using the tower as the east or west stand looks great.

strong centreback 157 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 From campaign55 there concept of a potential stadium at 55k capacity, this is the best so far for a realistic way to incorporate the BPS into the proposed new stadium.

strong centreback 157 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 From there concept pic id definitely have the new 15k shed end built within the BPS shell so as to get the filled in corners within the BPS shell as well hence still giving it that complete look from within the ground.Campaign55 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=333350216718669&set=a.333337940053230.81081.333029223417435&type=1&permPage=1 TomCFC and Melanicus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 55,000 is a bit steep, I reckon. We're probably at least 5 years from being able to fill that every game. Even then, I would be surprised if there weren't a few thousand empty seats when we play some League Two club in a cup tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I would be surprised if there weren't a few thousand empty seats when we play some League Two club in a cup tie.It would take 4-5 years to plan and build anyway.Also I can't think of any Premier League team that would fill their stadium 100% against a League Two team in a cup tie to be honest.

Nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
