Wembley

[CFC: Champs £launderx17]

Looks like we could get the green light for a reduced capacity Wembley capped at 50800 for most matches.

Don't know whether we could apply for 90k capacity for big games. Be great to have 80-odd thousand blues at Wembley for a couple of games

All looks really exciting. Stadium looks immense! Love the aesthetic.

3 years though? We will be playing at Wembley for 3 years?
That sucks

I hope Watford stay up - it's 15 minutes walk from my house!

When you see the scale of the redevelopment I'm not surprised though. I didn't realise till today the extent of what is being done.

Yeah they are having to dig into the ground and make the pitch below ground level, its a pretty big, and expensive, under taking.
Should be awesome when complete though.

Worst thing is the douchey name change that'll inevitably follow to pay for it.

Yeah I can just imagine,
Sponsorship deal with someone like ****ing Argos or something.

Argos' Newbridge or some crap.

That would explain the massive cost of the new stadium. Any building work associated with digging down is phenomenally expensive, even more so in the past couple of years. HIAG would probably disagree...

Is Dick King still involved in that?

Met him. His parents must have known how he was going to turn out when they chose his name!

 

[Bullet tooth Tony]

Oh and that douchey name.....The Roman Arena Colosseum/(add sponsor name here.). Gazprom?

From the unofficial (?) video, looks mightily impressive inside. Don't like the look of the outside, looks like an egg slicer?
