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 don't have anything against bowls. The Allianz is beautiful and the Emirates ain't bad either. While Arsenal's ground is dead, Bayern's rocks. Atmosphere has more to do with fan attitude than with the style of the ground. Granted 'safe standing' may play a part in Munich but it's still mainly down to the way fans support their team.

Dunno why anyone would want a bowl rather than Stamford Bridge, It's unique, Is in a stunning part of London...it's got character! just need expanded a bit!

I take it you were in a coma when the Battersea plans were revealed and we found out what the pitch owners and the club had in mind..

The Chelsea pitch owners communicated to the club explicitly that the fans do not want a bowl. When plans (actual images) of a proposed move to Battersea were released the stadium was not a bowl. The club know we don't want a bowl, and the Chelsea pitch owners will see to it that we don't get a bowl.

Is this now clear for you now?

LOL. Bayern's atmosphere is considered to be one of the worst in the Bundesliga

Accepted but I wonder if you agree that Germany's worst atmosphere is better than the Premier League's best? Certainly better than Arsenal's and, come to that, ours.

Yes, I agree with you.

I am fully aware of everything you said!

I was simply saying there are certain "fans" that would be quite happy with a Bowl!

Sorry to differentiate as is done very ignorantly sometimes, but no regular would be happy with a bowl.

That's really interesting. I get a bit of a buzz, I can't deny it but nowhere near what it used to be back in the old 'Shed' days.

The total thrill I used to get walking up the big steps at the Britannia gate entrance was amazing. Reaching the top and taking your first glimpse of the grass, or more often the mud, seeing the corner flags fluttering and the floodlights warming up was intoxicating. The highlight of the week was about to begin.

It also took longer in the old days. You queued to get in and, if it was a big game, you queued a long time. That all meant you spent longer in the ground before kick-off, getting into the atmosphere of the day. By the time I used to arrive in The Shed back then, I wouldn't even have left home these days.

I still love it but it's a very different experience nowadays. I certainly don't get the same excitement from just entering the ground that once I did. Maybe it's to do with age. :(

£6? You must be a youngster. It was 50p when I started. :)
