Also, its a shame the buildings at the front cant be bought Nope. Earls Court is still on the table. Reports suggest that buying Stoll makes no difference. If we did move, we'd have a larger, more accessible piece of land to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they've bought up the Stoll land less because they definitely intend to use it and more because they cannot afford for someone else to buy it. Staying at Stamford Bridge until another stadium is built will 100% be the preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally I believe that little morsel of detail is designed to encourage the CPO to support a potential move to Earls Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 If you are interested in the history of our club's relationship with Stoll, Rick Glanvill did this on the "Famous CFC" pod. We used to own the site, btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito07 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I have no confidence in the Board developing SB into a modern stadium. Probably end up being some standard 4 stand thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 According to our good friends at the Daily Mail… Chelsea's owners hope to continue their attempts to spruce up Stamford Bridge by erecting two giant lion sculptures outside the ground. An application has been submitted to Hammersmith & Fulham Council for permission to erect one of the lion sculptures, as displayed on Chelsea's badge, on top of the security hut at the Britannia Gate and the other on a plinth at the Stamford Gate. According to the application, they will be up to eight feet tall, on top of their planned locations. The exact cost of the scheme is unconfirmed. A period of consultation is now under way which is open until next month with planning documents stating the new additions to Stamford Bridge's surroundings could be in place during November if permission is granted. “The exact cost of the scheme is unconfirmed….” But you can be sure the owners will pay double the going rate.

They did take pains to emphasise two or three times that the club had knocked the £10 coach tickets on the head too which was a nice touch , I'm surprised they didn't add a paragraph about how John Terry won't see the statues as he's gone to Saudi Arabia all on his own to take the money that every other footballer in the World has turned down but didn't go with Wayne Bridges ex Girlfriend this time.

Two, because one will definitely be injured in a few weeks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust this lot with any development that involves knocking Stamford Bridge down.
