I remember when the Bridge was quality. When it had the oval around it and blokes used to be able to park their cars behind the goals. what was that all about?!

Disabled access, used to be able to drive into the ground rather than sit in a stand.

I preferred the shed then, cracking atmosphere and constantly moving due crowd surges. The ground as it is today bears no resemblance, and it's for that reason that I don't hold with the nostalgia that some have on here.

Hi. Here is a first *rough* colour render. I've so many things to fix on this image, but thought I'd show you what progress has been made.

The design of the four new stands will take their inspiration not from the uniform style of most recent stadiums, but from the buttresses, pillars and gothic architecture of Westminster Abbey in whose

It'll be close to 65k. 2 Bridges, 1 to West Brompton and 1 to the back of Fulham Broadway. They will lower the ground. Wembley is looking the most likely temp ground.

I dont fucking care if SB is small and not modern enough, its beautiful to me and it has history, that special something. Not many teams have it anymore.

I would only support expanding it if that would be possible, but moving from this ground is not acceptable. However, eventualy we will move on because of financial add-ons.

Do you actually attend games? Do you realise not a single structure on that site is original? Most of it is less than 15 years old.

Its stadium we played for long long time. Every

stadium faces renovations, even Bernabeu or Camp Nou, Anfield, Trafford...

What matters is the place and pitch that gave us so many great moments.

But do you actually attend games? Often find overseas fans have more affection for the place than the ppl who attend.

Virtually every PL club in London is looking to move, along with Everton, Liverpool etcetra and most of the others have already moved (Newcastle, Sunderland, Wigan, Reading, Sputhampton blah blah). I love the Bridge, but it's holding us back a a club and it's capacity often restricts attendance for PL and CL games. Development would also make it easier for families to attend, costs a fortune at the moment. It's a no brainier of the club want to grow.

You don't build now you won't be building at all... at least not in the local area (no other sites).

Sites are always coming and going in the area, even those big enough for a 60k stadium. A few years back the site that is now Westfield Shopping Centre was available, that is now gone. A few years ago the Earls Court site was in use and was then bought by a housing development company, Battersea Power Station recently became an option that was not open to us 5 or so years ago. How do we not know that the Stewarts Lane Depot site won't become available soon for example?

Brazil v Russia March 25th.

Not sure how true it is but some Brazilian press have confirmed the game to be held at Stamford Bridge!

Perhaps RMPR or any of our Brazilian friends can enlighten us

But didn't the grumpy shits who live on Fulham road block the staging of international matches?

The game is confirmed and SB comes as a strong possibility, not confirmed yet.

I find it hard, we always play at Emirates, but I guess it is not available at that date. It would be the only reason for us not to play there...
