Didn't it nearly bankrupt them though?
I seem to remember Bates either buying or selling the club for a nominal amount (£1, or £10) due to the debt

I seem to recall you are right there degsy

Chelsea's plans definitely dead now...

Scrapped: Whistle blown on Herzog & de Meuron’s Chelsea stadium

Herzog & de Meuron’s 60,000-seat stadium for Chelsea Football Club appears to be dead in the water after the Premier League outfit allowed its planning permission to expire

They really should go back to the drawing board and come up with something way less architecturally ambitious and costly.

“ an unfavourable investment climate in 2018” put a hold on this that has now lead to it likely not going ahead , If it was unfavourable then imagine after all this is over how harder it will be , says a £500 million project surely a lot more expensive with the design and central London too .

Just looks like a stadium made out of 4x2 timber, Can't have been that expensive.

If they move to another site they have to change their name, thats madness.

I would be shocked if Meis has not provided for extra capacity due to standing otherwise there is no point in installing it .The generation that new standing are so old they are glad to sit now ! I stood for many years but as I am not tall I was on my tiptoes for both halves ,I couldn't /wouldn't do it now .

Hear hear! Am glad it's not just me who is of this opinion: I welcomed all-seater stadia as it was the first time for many years I could watch a game in comfort without 90 mins standing on tiptoes.

My kids like the idea of standing, but then they are all MUCH taller than me. Plus, i doubt they would like it at my age!

Its because Chelsea dont actually own the name Chelsea FC do they? Its owned by the Chelsea pitch owners association, who own the Stamford Bridge pitch.

Imagine if a team named themselves after their city and just put fc at the end.

'Unfavourable investment climate' was just code for Abramovich not having his visa renewed as part of the post the Salisbury poisoning oligarch crackdown.

and the Woolwich's ground is in Holloway

 

[Bunner]

So when do we think we’ll get a planning decision?

Because they are nomads. The only place called Arsenal in London is/was in Woolwich. They bribed some officials to change the name of Gillespie Road to Arsenal to make it sound like they belong. They don't.
