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

[@nickrhysjones]

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.

[@LauraLasan69]

[@ForDaBoizYT]

I used to live in front of the stadium so it would be pretty sad for a new stadium 😢

[@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.

[@horse69outside]

Man Utd are considering having their new stadium in London.

[@Marchen07]

Great video but you forgot to mention that Chelsea Pitch Owners not only own the freehold of Stamford Bridge but also the naming rights to 'Chelsea FC', so even if they decide to move somewhere else they wouldn't be allowed to use the name without a significant majority of the shareholders approving it.

I’m a proud Brazilian Chelsea fan, and I CANNOT die without knowing the old Bridge 💙

[@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.

[@jrshgligh7833]

The history is surely too much, the legacy and past historic games that have been played there are too great to remove

[@ThePappsta]

I love Stamford bridge and it will always be the spiritual home of Chelsea but in order to compete financially in the future we probably need to move as you could build a bigger stadium for pretty much the same cost or possibly less than redeveloping Stamford bridge. The only thing i dont want is a boring copy and paste stadium that a lot of clubs around Europe have.

[@funcik1]

Despite different location, option 2 is much better.

[@stelsDM]

Stamford Bridge to reconstruct up to 30,000 thousand for women's team and academy

[@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.

[@rufus1346]

Do you mean the power stations old chimneys? Why would you try to recrate those somewhere else?

[@mikeyc.6022]

Personally I want to remain at The Bridge cause it's iconic, full of history and located at the heart of London and one of the most expensive locations in the whole of EU. But realistically and in longer term, Earls Court is probably a better decision as we will be allowed to build a larger stadium from the get go and will be easier to even expand/upgrade in future as well compared to Stamford Bridge

[@Stand663]

Chelsea should just play at twickenham stadium while Stamford bridge is rebuilt. Gosh man. It’s not complicated 😤

[@douglasslaton5591]

No they can’t. They can ask again, I suppose.

[@Stand663]

@ It’s a good deal for both sides. Twickenham gets revenue from 80k fans every week for a couple of seasons and Chelsea get a full house plus European nights. No brainier

[@m.vinall7537]

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.

[@BridgeStamford]

Obviously not

[@jaspd17]

I would support the move to a new stadium as long as it is still called Stamford Bridge and still has key aspects that our current stadium has (like the Shed End for example). History plays a massive factor here and renaming the new stadium takes all of that away.

[@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.

[@UraFlight]

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

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

[@adambartlett6277]

The love the cathedral design so much. I really hope we keep the current location and redevelop

[@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 !

[@FreddieFraøtinen5]

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

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......
