Stamford Bridge Thread

There doesn't appear to be a solution to our stadium problem, does there?

How do we compete when we make almost £50 million a year less in match day revenue than Man Utd? Other clubs are going to continue to expand their grounds and increase their revenue, while we are unable too.

Hmm...

Battersea ruled out for good now most likely now that the Malaysians have begun work on the station. Probs won't hear anything on a new stadium until a new council is elected in May and negotiations re-start.

The Etihad Stadium capacity to increase to over 61000 putting them second after OLD Trafford. Lucky Bastards.

We need to find a site...and fast. Spurs, and west ham will have bigger stadiums then us before long, qpr will almost equal us, it could be embarrassing.Only site left I can think of is white city , either the unigate site or linford christie stadium/scrubs. With qpr fucking off to Kensal Green/ ooc, I'd be happy with white city !

I'd be proud to stay where we are! I'd rather stay at the bridge!

Expanding would be the perfect option, but not very realistic

There's nothing wrong with moving. The club is not what it used to be and we need to evolve with the changing times(and stature). Do you really see us staying at the Bridge for another 20 years? Do you see that as what's best in terms of progress?

Problem is our only options are looking like white city and north kensington(gasworks).White city I'd be happy enough with, but even happier with north ken.

So would I mate...just as happy as I'd be if I won the euro millions, but neither are gonna happen.

Latest talk on twitter, is the Kensington gasworks/sainsburys site in north Kensington.I know the locals are still pushing for a crossrail station there, an idea that Boris also promotes.To be at the heart of a regeneration of a 67acre site in Kensington and CHELSEA, with a W postcode me, within spitting distance of portobello and in an area with a strong chelsea following...I'd take that.

Having a bigger stadium helps of course, but these days...how much do ticket sales really help with the club's revenue?

What? Ticket and TV revenues are by far the biggest source of money modern clubs have!

Just look at RM, Barcelona. ManUtd, Arsenal, Bayern, etc...

That was my impression as well, but I have heard a few people say otherwise... Especially when it comes to clubs that have a large global appeal, and can make revenue through a lot more avenues
