JackanorySFC Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Said they are planning on keeping the original features (towers, turbine room etc) which would be cool enough, but they have also applied for the largest single tired stand in Europe (15,000 capacity) behind one of the goals. Have to admit I'm rather jealous. If done right it will be the best stadium in England by a mile! Was wondering how even Roman could afford it (they have offered to contribute towards a new Norther Line station amongst other things) but then again the land at Stamford Bridge must be worth an absolute fortune! Saying that though, it could end up like the toilet in the Ocean or whatever the skates "concept" was called... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 (edited) Might just be a negotiating technique in order to bring the Chelsea Pitch Owners back to the table and accept what is offered (I never even knew the fans owned the freehold on Stamford Bridge). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15481301 Edited 4 May, 2012 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Borussia Dortmund's (both ends) can't be far off that? 25,000 but it's standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 25,000 but it's standing I think it's just the one end these days, 3 sides of the ground are two-tiered. But don't they put seats in for International/European matches, does that knock more than 10k off the capacity? If it comes off for Chelsea, that could be one spectacular stadium...wouldn't wanna be paying the likely admission prices each home game tho!

Sour Mash Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 As new grounds go, would be absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite, iconic buildings in London and Battersea is a stones.throw from Chelsea and is very much a Chelsea area in terms of support traditionally. Having said that whichever plank redevolped Stamford Bridge should never work on a football ground again, waste of a great old ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 (edited) Any designs floating around yet or haven't they got that far? Utterly bizarre! Not sure where this image is from, doesn't look like a football stadium so may just be a design for development of the site with offices/housing/hotel/retail etc rather than Chelsea Football club.

JackanorySFC Posted 6 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 6 May, 2012 Check out the Indianapolis Colts stadium. Think/ hope/ heard it will be similar to that. Googled it the other day and can only say "wow", didn't think the yanks had that in em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 I think it's a good thing that they are looking to build a single-tiered end, no doubt for their more vocal home support, aimed at improving the shocking atmospheres in British football stadiums. Seems more are going this way again with Liverpool planning a massive new Kop if they move and Tottenham's must be around 15k if that comes off (the dog's wotsnames imo)... Hope they bare this in mind if SMS ever needed expanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
