pi ss off mate I hardly miss a home game, just the last one

[G.T.P]

yeah mate. monkeys on imaginary made up bets every week, then 'i cant go to two home games on the trot cos of money problems'.
ha ha ha ha ha ha. leave me out fantasist.

Then why would chelsea want to move.????

Because for 5 or 6 games a season they could fill it - corporate take would render it viable and give them the potential to offer cheap tickets for games v Wigan etc.....plus the land on the Fulham Road is worth probably best part of £100m.

Same principal as West Ham wanting the Olympic stadium - can't fill Upton Park (35,000) but want a 60,000 stadium. All about the corporate shilling.

Then that takes it back to my point, chelsea want a bigger stadium in the right area........stamford bridge would be too big for us, never mind what chelsea would have in mind. (i dont know what chelsea have in mind though ).

I'd argue that it is more to do with the fact that Chelsea do not own Stamford Bridge. They are merely tennants there.

No matter what the land is worth, Chelsea have no entitlement on it as they do not own the ground.

Equally Chelsea do not own the name 'Chelsea FC' - it is intrinsically linked to the current site, so if they do move to Earls Court they shall have to do so under another name - albeit they would likely just become Chelsea (2012) FC

Hahahaha Chelsea would have to change their name,Earls Court Blues FC

[PLYMHOOP]

I just hope we Ground share with Plymouth!............... please Santa! lol.

[W6hoops]

Never share with any other team. You would not share your wife with your arrogant fat pretentious retard neighbour would you. No seriously we have our own ground even if it means playong on the scrubs every week.

[dave58]

Although i live in Greenford Hoping should we build a new ground we stay in and around the bush area,BBC site would be good when demolished (we could even have White City station renamed like Arsenal,VERY TOUNGE IN CHEEK) or on the scrubs not sure the unigate site is still up for grabs but would prefer to stay in the borough

[kron-1664]

I know what will happen , Chelsea go to Wembley , QPR to the bridge, Brentford to Loftus Road, Hayes to Griffin Park , Brook House to Hayes. I have seen the future

[G.T.P]

[Mr M]
