Stamford Bridge Thread

Just heard a bit more on this.

There's 3 options of moving out. 1 of them will be very controversial, but makes a lot of sense at the same time.

1. Twickenham - Seems the least likely of the 3 at the minute, but the option is there.

2. Wembley - We'd only get 50k seats whilst we're here, but more likely to happen than Twickenham

3. Boleyn Ground - They're hoping to redevelop the stadium into housing when West Ham move out and have this open by 2018 (We're hoping to move 2017/2018 season), so this will take a lot of persuading with the group that have brought it, but money towards the project will go a long way.

Obviously as fans we hate the prospect of moving to the old homes of one of our rivals from East London, but the club are looking at this option for the best. If we move to Twickenham or Wembley 70+% of the staff will have to be made redundant, whereas the majority of them will keep their jobs if we move here.

There'll apparently be an official statement made with decisions and designs in September, so we'll have to wait and see.

Why only 50k at wembley?

Why only 50k at wembley?

There will be regulations such as local resident issues etc ...Twickenham will have similar regulations with the amount of 'live' events that can be held there.

With reference to the above and West Ham ground.....there was also a rumour that they could be approached about the Olympic stadium share possibilities or the occasional match to tie in with Wembley and Twickers

Plus they're over double the size.

Awesome work as always WHS.

doesnt make sense.

If you are saying the fact they are bigger means there are more staff, surely that means 70% of SB wouldnt lose jobs.

What he meant was that stadiums like Wembley, Twickers are already staffed and West Hams bolyn ground wouldnt be staffed by then

The question was why would we need more staff at Wembley to UP.

Not why would the SB staff be made redundant.

Upton Park and the surrounding area is an absolute shithole. Would feel very, very wrong playing there.

yup.....totally agree.

Been drinking in their pubs in that area last couple seasons and even they are a bit run down.

Give us the Olympic stadium for a couple matches though....;-)

Yeah.

But, how often do they require match day staff at Wembley? Surely we'd have to employ a bunch.

thats the whole point.

Wembley as an events centre already has its own contracts with regards to certain aspects of staffing such as security catering etc and CFC cant really dictate to them about getting prefferred partners in. They also have their own admin etc.

WHS implied that only 30% of SB staff would be required from what he heard from his sources if an event centre like Wembley was used.....I can see the reasons why it doesnt sound great if we made 70% redundant when a move to Upton park meant we kept 100%.

Lots of weighing up by Chelsea at boardroom level required

To be honest I doubt the majority of the catering staff are going to treck over the other side of London to sell hotdogs once a fortnight for minimum wage though.

CHELSEA are ready to push ahead with plans for a new £500million stadium at Stamford Bridge.

The champions have drawn up designs for a 60,000-capacity, state-of-the-art arena on their current Fulham Road site — their home for 110 years.
