Well then, that's all done.

Battersea it is. Sigh.

FFS, LBHF are toying with the CPO now. They're trying to purposely enrage and delay this process, trying to hold the club (indirectly) to ransom.

LBHF urged CPO to challenge CFC's findings by engaging experts in the fields of planning, transport, health and safety.

Muggy cunts surely if LBHF want us to stay so badly then they could provide the cpo with the information on safe egress in case of fires which I believe is one of the main obstacles, there are 45m reasons why they want us to stay and not one of them is because its in the fans/future fans best interests, hence the insinuation the club should be charging more per ticket.

Succeeding in the bid and securing the plans for the underground extension was always going to be a bigger ask than the CPO. I'm afraid misinformation (darned wikipedia articles) made the issue bigger than it ever was.

asking for the club to consider charging fans more per ticket had me enraged. Shows how typically the sort of people who run council's are deeply out of touch with normal people. In fairness tho I'm not sure how seriously the cpo are taking this. CFC'S recent dossier was pretty detailed and seemed ,to the layman such as myself at least, to be very transparent.

So we won the bid for battersea?

[francozola 2,040]

Why are the LBHF so opposed to the club's proposal of moving elsewhere? Is it simply because of the $ they'll lose?

How much power do they have?

Yeah they'll lose hundreds of thousands of pounds.

As far as I'm aware they have absolutely no say what so ever and there only way of keeping us there is to prove to the CPO that we can build a stadium or expand on site whilst not having silly financial implications.

No power.

Well, the "power" they do have is toying with the CPO

[capriccioso 2,545]

What's up with the council? If they insist there's a way to expand Stamford Bridge, why can't they make the details public?

I think they're on the wind up, trying to keep us in their jurisdiction to earn some cash. But that gives the club a position of power, we can threaten to pull out if they don't lay down and accept what we want in terms of rebuilding/expanding Stamford Vridge.

In the cpo statement it says its actually some 15 million that the council them selves make out of the club whilst the businesses in the local area (there constituents) make approx 30m in revenue off the back of the club, those are the only two reasons why they care about us moving, notice how they only cheep up when the club started the wheels moving on a potential move, nowt out of them for years before the egm last year.
