Chelsea lose out on Battersea PS

Looks like news just in that we have lost out on our bid for the Battersea Power Station.

I wonder what the big cats at the bridge are going to suggest now

 

It was never going to happen. Earls Court or redevelop Bridge to 55k pls

 

I thought Earls Court had gone too.
Very limited options now.

 

Good - South London already has a Rampant Lion, we don't need a toothless tamed one as well

 

Earls Court is already under development with another company/project.

Only option is to extend the bridge but there is so many complications with it

 

Yep,options are becoming increasingly limited and from what the club has already said it seems developing the Bridge is not going to happen and is not commercially viable anyway.
RA has done magnificent things for this club and yet there are people who think he should still spend hundreds of millions more for zero,even a negative,return.
If UEFA do eventually stick with FFP we could be out on the fringes for sure.

 

Battersea Power Station was always going to be a difficult target! I just wonder if Hammersmith and Fulham who are desperate to keep us, might help concieve ways of allowing us to enlarge SB. We cant go east(cemetary) west (sheltered housing)---but North...a bridge across the railway possibly ?? or south as we used to when we often let 60k plus on many occasions but staggered egress?

 

Who is developing EC?

 

I hear on the grape vine that Roman is so pissed off he has now put a bid in to buy Battersea!!

 

So now it's either -

- Increase the size of Stamford Bridge
- Relocate to a temporary placement for a few years and completely rebuild the Bridge
- Find somewhere else (but where else would be possible)

Two days in a row that some Malaysian company has fucked over a team in blue.

 

Increasing the size of SB is not economically viable. It's not being considered.

Edit: wow, please say you're joking Roman's Advisor!

 

You might have a hard on mate ...........but your team aint had one since 04!

 

I was typing "what's wrong with Batters" ............then I stopped

 

I wonder how the residents of the dogs home feel about their new neighbours

I'm disappointed Chelsea lose out on Battersea Power Station. We can not increase the capacity of Stamford Bridge that was the point of purchasing land to develop and construct a new stadium on it. There is limited options now but Chelsea are looking at one of those options.

 

thought there was still some talk about White City! - That'll piss the Queenies off!

 

Don't want you muppets anywhere near us! Stay at SB or move to Russia with your owner.
i reckon if you got rid of all those tourists SB would be big enough for you.

 

Do those tourists include away fans who desert their team after 70 mins? 6-1!

 

No but the thousands of 'Jonny come Romans' who turn up each week, orthe bloke wearing a Chelsea shirt and asked me for directions. You know the ones.

 

Glory hunters come with success. Hopefully we will have more success and consequently more glory hunters along the way, although we will never match United and Liverpool in that department.

When did you switch from Liverpool to Rangers, Ellers. You were saying on another thread around 88, I recall.
