Don't wait for me!
It's a fantastic idea but won't have any real impact on us. We'll be in the Premiership by the time it's completed anyway, with champions league football . . . . . Where was I?

Don't let facts get in the way eh?.... the very fact that they had tickets and made the effort to go probably doesn't make them plastics..... das sees things nobody else can.... 6th sense that fella

What an odd thread. Reading it you would think Chelsea were moving to Gatwick.
Where does this 3 miles come from ?
The site is just over the over side of the river.
In terms of transport from Brighton, nothing much has changed at all.
Very odd.

So what is the issue with expanding SB? Can the site not acommodate a 60k stadium or is more to do with the cost (surely not)?

hammersmith and fulham wont let chelsea redevelop as the local infrastructure cant take the extra 15000 fans spilling out onto fulham rd after the game.

no, the local estate agents have had their say.

dunno about league games, but people at work had no problem buying tickets for the champions league games V Napoli / Barcelona - and they never go to any games.

Google Maps says it's about 2.2 miles to walk from Stamford Bridge to the BPS site.
Not many less than the mighty Chelsea in the early eighties then. Of course you would already know that though as you were obviously one of the very few in Mr Bates days, or not at the case maybe!

For the 1st time in Eons BHA have had a bigger average than Palace couldn't beat us on pitch though could you
Give it a few more seasons and the Amex will be as empty as the Ricoh arena
No. the site is way too small and hemmed in by a railway line on two sides, the Chelsea Village development (very expensive flats and home to one Greg Stanley) and a major road on another. The transport issues would be vary difficult to satisfy as well.

..and not much difference in getting to from Brighton. Still a change at Clapham Junction onto a local train or the new Northern Line spur.
Direct train from Croydon though.
Their traditional "working class" support comes from Wandsworth, I'm sure Bushy will back that up. It will be them streaming back, not people from Sussex.

i think its both and neither. Abramovich could buy up the locals though and pay off the council. either would probably be cheaper than buying a new site. really its just damn inconvienient to be extending such a site.
