Chelsea are set to push for a £1.5bn rebuild of Stamford Bridge.
John Cross and Jonathan Liew discussed the options that would be available for Todd Bohely's club.
Under Roman Abramovich's ownership, Chelsea announced they had put plans for a new stadium on hold.
The club were given the go-ahead to start work on their new 60,000-capacity stadium by Hammersmith and Fulham council but plans were shelved in May of 2018.

That's exactly why I want it to be redone like Anfield. They kept their traditional features and just built on their existing stands. I get it is radically more expensive and more complicated for us but youre paying extra for character to be retained, something a total new build won't have. Arsenal are a perfect case study of why you shouldn't demolish a famous traditional stadium for a bowl

The model is the States one: giving supporters "fan experiences", it's not about winning for the pleasure of win, victories it's mainly to elevate the prestige of the club and actract more money ( also from the fans). It's interesting the way they look at football, but I am not sure will fit in Europe ( even in a wealthy city like London is now...but in the future?)

It was confirmed a while back that all the plans of Stamford Bridge rebuild had been finalised during Abramovich's time and the only reason it didn't start then was because UK govt delayed his visa extension. So I don't understand all this talk now about how work still needs to be done. Cost was £1bn even at that time so it going up is understandable, but what's with making it seem like it all needs to start from scratch?

Planning permissions expire and other things like that. Plus, value of land surrounding the ground has probably gone up significantly. The transport infrastructure is going to be the biggest problem as they're not going to move a railway line for the stadium, not without a HUGE sum as the disruption would be massive.
Why are they not consulting the fan on coach or management issues?
For those who know the area, why dont they just build a new stadium at eel brook common, its big enough to hold a stadium and turn the stamford bridge area into a large park, i think thats not a bad idea, its less than 2 mins walk away

Another suggestion is to move slightly North to the Old Earls Court Exhibition Centre Land - infront of West Brompton Station. That land was sold in 2014 and still no work has started on a development, surely Chelsea could strike a deal and it would be better for the club as match going fans would get easy walking access to West Brompton and Earls Court station - where the Southern (National Rail) and TFL services all travel through) as apposed to Fulham Broadway currently who can only hold the District line to transport 40,000plus fans every game day which it struggles to do.

This project has been on through Roman Abramovic, the man who really loves the club. But left the message along with the new owner to maintain, so is not a new thing. If Todd Boehly really wants to impact the Club now, he should first build the club with a quality football coach, who must be an elite in the business, with a quality signing of players. No doubt, he has managed some success in that department of building a good squad, but so far, has failed woefully by retaining a football coach meant for the likes of Gillingham football club or Millwall fc. So, he should not placate us fans with stadium development when, in fact, it's part of the condition he got Chelsea fc at the time of negotiations for the Club.

Rebuilding the stadium sounds great but the club needs champions league football to help finance it.
Chelsea are currently 9th this season in terms of average attendance in the Premier League at 39,000.. That is scarily low for a club of that size, they badly need a new, bigger stadium.. They could easily fill a 65,000+ stadium.. They’re missing out on so much money by not investing in the facilities. Chelsea should of done all of this years ago..
@bionicgeekgrrl
Жыл бұрын
The question is where can they build a 65000+ stadium? they probably can't on the current location and that will have been why it has taken so long to get anywhere before now. They will have to relocate to a different part of london, and that will impact both their reputation amongst sponsors, fans and players as they'll lose some of their identity in the process, something that will take decades to rebuild at a new location. London land is incredibly sought after and expensive as well. Boehly can of course afford it, but is it going to be him building and owning the stadium or the club? will the club be saddled with paying off 1.5bn+ of debt for it? that 1.5bn could rise significantly if it takes 5-10 years given the effects of the UK economy and inflation etc.
Sports journalists talking about stadium redevelopment was bound to be lacking in understanding🙄 Sky, interview someone who understands where this project is currently at (planning permission granted, will Abramovich’s vision be implemented or are they going to resubmit?) for example. The technical implementation issues aren’t insurmountable. Love the ‘dig down before they dig up’ comment from the all knowing Cross🤦
just keep digging or put it in sea the first underwater stadium?
Why don’t they just extend and redevelop the stands like Liverpool? Too many big clubs movie to lifeless stadiums and losing the core atmosphere of the club. Stanford bridge is a fantastic ground
@GavP75

Not enough space. Realistically I think the stadium needs to move to the west a bit to allow more space for a new East stand. Although we already know that a large chunk of cash is needed to improve the infrastructure in terms of routes to and from the ground. Currently the only way is via Fulham Road and safety regulations doesn't allow us to have a higher capacity because of that.
That's positive 😊
