Why Chelsea's New Stadium Could Cost $2.5BN | TFC Stadiums

[@chidimadu2649]

Love the first option, from an asthetic point of view, unique design, however logistically with the underground being so near by, would be an expensive nightmare. Sometimes you just have to move house!! Man Utd fans just recently voted for a new stadium, it's not like living in the past has helped Man U in recent times.

[@earthpeace]

Move to Earls Court but preserve current location until the new stadium completed. Name the new stadium Stamford Bridge II. Then turn old Stamford Bridge into something related to Chelsea Football Club, the fans and the community while still making money.

The original design would be one of the most beautiful stadiums ever built… the second looks like a generic stadium. Both seem very hard to do sadly.

[@malcolmjcullen]

The second proposal, at Earl's Court, is just AI-generated imagery, it's not an actual design.

[@jsn_alva]

The Pride of London needs minimum 80k seats. I would leave Stamford Bridge to the ladies' team. They deserve it. Plus, Chelsea men could always play there in smaller cup games where high capacity is not required. I would then build a new stadium.

Battersea would have been awesome! Now just need to expand, and build into the neighbouring areas. The building are so ugly any way, and it would be good to see the stadium from the road side. I heard one of the neighbours hates Chelsea and it being paid by a neighbouring club to not sell out. I wonder if it’s true.

[@hannahwigglesworth525]

Excellent video, I’ve been taking such an interest in this new stadium project, I just want whatever is best for the blues, ideally staying at he bridge would be nice…but if a bigger and better stadium can be built at Earl’s Court then I’m totally happy with that too, but I’ve heard that the Earl’s Court site is now not a possibility.

[@kwtkold9302]

It's possible but current govt policy heavily favours anything that uses such large sites for housing development. A large stadium is a big waste of land from a housing prespective in a city where such plots don't come around that often

[@UraFlight]

Why make things complicated ? There was already stunning approved design by Abramovich team. Just re approve it again !

[@rhcripps]

Completely agree!

this is a terrible project... everyone calls it an egg slicer

[@duckway4733]

Whatever happens, I hope the stadium ends up with a modern yet gothic cathedral style. I loved how the Battersea design looked with the gothic towers, and the Stamford Bridge design looks good as well. If we move to Earl's court I hope they do that, I think a stadium with a unique gothic inspired design would fit the club best.

[@cbloke2252]

not in my opinion. I loved being in the middle of the shed. great days. most games were turn up on the day and it was affordable. better atmospheres, though for the most part not as good a team, although we did well in the mid 80s.

[@SMlFFY85]

[@stephwarrick4771]

Chelsea need to replace the archaic, cramped, uncomfortable seating at Stamford Bridge. We shouldn't have to wait 6-9 years for that basic improvement. Everything else is secondary.

[@ZackPALMER1]

Its best if chelsea go move to earls court, chelsea need a new area bc their current stadium have houses and flats attached to it, btw the first design is so easy to make u just have to add wood

[@bernardsunday4390]

i will prefer the option 2 but i also want the iconic name (Stamford bridge) to remain our Home's name....

[@brendandoherty9930]

Option 1 is like an egg slicer

[@bluechazyb]

A number of things……design is personally subjective and of course ultimately has to be within planning constraints, which the proposed stadium is. Any design will never satisfy all supporters opinions. Location is the decision that will cause most debate and both have their merits, but overall disruption points towards Earls Court as being the most logical for income and future commercial protection. Good job……because in the final shot of the redeveloped stadium the capital C has been omitted on CHELSEA ………. and we CPO shareholders won’t be happy about that !

[@terramatela6351]

Option 2 is a winner from the information I perceived. But I would like Chelsea to play at the London Stadium

[@tysonngubeni8545]

No way would the CPO accept a move away from the bridge. 😅 And rightly so, many would say.

[@orangejuice00]

The owners objective is to make money. We've already seen how clever they are will pushing the rules, with contracts and selling bits of the ground to themselves. My guess is option 3, or 4. They will groundshare Wembley, or develop Lords. The fans won't like it, but the owners know even if 1/2 the fans hand back their season tickets, there will be no shortage of demand, especially from global tourist. The owners didn't care that the fans wanted Mount and Gallagher to stay, and if the CPO won't let them use the name Chelsea Football Club, they will call the club London, London United, London City, or London Lions etc. Neither the fans, not history will stop the owners from maximising their investment. Toad Bohley and Clearmake Capital know what they are doing.

The option for a new stadium on the Earls Court site is not going to happen. The site is jointly owned by TFL and Olympia / The Earls Court Development Company . They have joint plans to develop with both Hammersmith and Fulham council and The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Their plans do not involve a stadium. I cannot see the Earls Court Development Company tearing up their plans , and selling out to Chelsea Football Club . And if they did sell out , the Chelsea owners would find it difficult to have new plans passed. Chelsea need a build a new stadium at Stamford Bridge , and find a stadium where to play while building goes on. Either Wembley , or another stadium in London. Twickenham stadium is not an option , the local council there don't want Chelsea to play there. Would have been a good option , Rugby could have done with the money , local businesses would have profited. London Welsh Rugby Club has gone bust . JPR Williams and all that. London Welsh provided seven players for the British Lions tour of 1971 to New Zealand . And London Irish Rugby Club has gone bust. Anyone thinking a new stadium at Earls Court is a viable option is having a laugh. Why would the present owners sell ? And I doubt that full planning permission for a stadium would ever be granted. All seems like PR from the owners of Chelsea. And any talk of playing at Stamford Bridge whilst the new stadium there is being built - is just plain stupid. And COP / Chelsea Pitch Owners will not sell out. So Earls Court is out. The Chelsea owners seem to be as stupid as past QPR owners......
