CFC bid to buy Battersea Power Station site: 'unique architectural backdrop to a world-class stadium with a capacity of around 60,000 seats'

Will look ace with 20k seats empty every week
 
Chelsea Football Club can confirm to our fans that we have today submitted an offer, with our property development partner Almacantar, to acquire the 39-acre Battersea Power Station site.

Battersea Power Station is one of London's most famous buildings and has the potential to become one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world.

Our joint bid was submitted in accordance with the sales process established by the Joint Administrators for the site. The process could run for a number of months.

We are not the only interested parties and there is no certainty that we will be successful. We also appreciate that we have many significant hurdles to address if we are to build a new stadium on the site, including winning the support of our fans, the CPO shareholders and local Wandsworth residents, as well as securing the approval of Wandsworth Council, the Greater London Authority and heritage authorities. We must also stress that making an offer for the Battersea Power Station site does not mean the club has made a definitive decision to leave Stamford Bridge.

Working with architects and planning experts we have developed a plan to preserve all the significant aspects of Battersea Power Station. The four iconic chimneys and wash towers along with the Grade II* listed west turbine hall and control room will be restored and retained in their original locations and provide a unique architectural backdrop to a world-class stadium with a capacity of around 60,000 seats.

Following feedback from fans, our initial plans include a 15,000-all seated one-tier stand behind the south goal, likely to be the biggest one-tier stand in football. Also as suggested by many fans, the stadium proposed is rectangular in shape with four separate stands. The design includes a bigger family area and more room for disabled supporters.

As well as a new home for our club, the development would include a town centre with substantial street-level retail shops, affordable housing and offices - all of which would benefit Wandsworth and bring a significant number of permanent jobs to the area. We would also make a significant contribution towards the Northern Line Extension, a new high-volume transport link proposed for the area.

We will keep our fans updated as the process develops.

Who's watching the racist cup final and do you want to win? I hate both teams but I can't stand the thought of Liverpool winning a cup double. I also think Chelsea might be even more fired up to win the CL if they lose tomorrow.

If Chelsea win the cup, that makes 4 wins in 6 years apparently. That used to be us winning FA cups regularly ](*,)
 
3 wins in 5 years, all with different managers! (Mourinho, Hiddink, Ancelotti)

Let's be honest, the FA Cup Final's only important if you're in it.
I know its obvious but if you asked me to list the previous 5 winners of the cup I'd struggle. In fact I'd have to google it.
At a stab I'd go for Emirates Marketing Project, Chelsea, ? Portsmouth ?

Fact is, no one cares.
 
Wasn't worth starting a thread for, but couldn't think where else to put it.

I'll be hoping for a Pool win.

Firstly, it against Chelsea, no brainer.

And secondly, a win for them will pretty much guarantee another season of Kenny in charge of them.

"We accept that we're not clowns". Comedy gold. On a side note, this Internet thing does encourage people to make total tools of themselves.
