A modern football stadium that won't look like a spaceship. I like it.

No big players at Chelsea for a while Laughing

We don't know that lol

if they do get the station and the land. it would cost them atleast 600-700mil to build it.

Abramovich will have shell out alot more $$

Actually, all of this won't affect our FFP status so we can still buy big name players if Roman chooses to.

He will most likely fund the stadium unless we get a sponser, something like Samsung Arena. Gay if you ask me.

We may end up keeping at as Stamford Bridge as they are so close together.

Whatever happens, if we do get it, it will be very unique, historic and probably Iconic.

You live in Battersea?

Nice!

I've got a family member living in Battersea. He's been there for 27 years. Says he doesn't like the move LOL.

Laughing

It is a fantastic area. Nice and quite.....for now lol.

I haven't spoken to him much but I really see no reason why anyone wouldn't like Battersea. By far the best option available.

by animal.crackers Fri May 04, 2012 9:19 pm

I think it looks odd. :S

But surely the architects will make the investment worth it

by aleumdance Fri May 04, 2012 10:18 pm

are chelsea gonna build this with debt?

don't think Roman would just let 500 Million go like that

Sounds interesting, keeping the 4 chimneys will be a challenge and would look strange.

then build 4 statues of Abramovich on top of those chimneys...ROFL

That is so so so cool, I love industrial era style (I know it is from the 30ies, not 19th century).
Very nostalgic and smells of old football too.

Anyway, I don't think the buildings around it (like in the concept picture) should be higher than the actual construction.

The stadium itself has to look huge on its own and shouldn't be overshadowed.

This is my design wet dream, imagine how intimidating that is.... A stadium slash FACTORY! On the river. Very sexy.

by S32TABLANCA Fri May 04, 2012 11:18 pm

At first, I was like No, that cant possibly work, too evil and macabre and non-footballish.

But if they do it right, this could be really EPIC. They need to basically gut the building completely though, and rebuild the whole area from scratch. It would be a huge challenge of immense proportions.
