Stamford Bridge Thread

[mrparkersdogbite 15]

We also see any legal argument as to what any perceived monetary value of a CPO share might be as largely irrelevant, it’s true value being – as always, it’s fundamental guardianship of Stamford Bridge and thereby Chelsea FC, via it’s voting rights.

I'm not sure that statement really clarifies anything apart from the fact that discussions are ongoing - which is good in itself.

But I really don't like that odd reference to the 'perceived monetary value of a CPO share'. Is that saying that SNCPO are going to try and argue legally that the club and the CPO board have undervalued the shares by pricing them at £100? I'm really uncomfortable with SNCPO going down that line because it opens up the possibility that some people might just be in this for what cash they think they might get back. As everyone knows, this has nothing at all to do with money for the vast majority of us.

Indeed, it's quite a disappointing response to be honest.

I thought CPO's offer for a SNCPO director on the board would've been a positive move all-round.

How about Ashley just changing St James Park to the Sports direct Stadium for no extra revenue for the club, in the "hope" of attracting bidders in the future....

Talk about totally shitting on your fans....he really knows how to piss those Geordie's off, does Hertfordshire born Newcastle fan Ashley....

LMAO indeed.

Thankfully Buck said the name "Stamford Bridge" will be maintained, even when a sponsor acquires naming rights.

I hate sponsored stadium name: Sports Direct Arena is just appalling, however i understand Chelsea wouldn't mind 10 million a year I just hope they keep the name Stamford Bridge in the title and don't ruined the history of the bridge.

How do the CPO shareholders that were opposing the vote feel about Battersea?

Battersea is approx 2 miles away from the bridge south of the river, It would be wandsworth council and not fulham and hammersmith so less swanky but it would provide us with a big enough site to do something special with and is in the heart of our traditional fan base area.

''Club sources believe the exterior of the power station could be used to develop an iconic stadium and in addition it could build a range of leisure facilities.''
