We aren't sponsored by KFC for a start.

You have to remember the deal Arsenal made with Emirates was more than 10 years ago.

I'm sure we would look to maximise any deal to the benefit of the club and I see some big interest in what will be the stand out stadium in England if this goes through.

 

Their current deal for 30m a year started in 2014 and runs out in 2019. Naming rights are sold till 2028.

 

I think (or atleast hope) the club will only go for a deal if its for some material amount of money and with a respectable brand. 

I'd rather have less money and not have a stupid brand name on the Bridge personally. It's not like we need the money.

Remember Richard Brandon want to have the virgin logo on the west stand roof

would it be really worthwhile calling the new stadium "the kentucky fried chicken stadium" or some sh*t like that for a paltry sum of money.

 

don't you mean "poultry" ?

Oh good god.

The internet wins.

No, Its not hard at all. Considering dippers get 25m for their shirt sponsorship, arsenal will get atleast as much. So £30m minus £25m is £5m. Easy peasy.

Hmm so you're just guessing then really? You're good at maths though!

Our stadium will be branded I'm very sure of it.

I want to make it clear that I haven't made these images nor are they anything to do with the final design, they were posted on the architecture forum I provided a link for earlier (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1079233&page=19), by a poster who used the drawings that we've all seen and got a bit creative with them.

 

 

 

 

 

For the sake of clarity, the East Stand is the bottom stand in the top image.

 

Edit: The players' tunnel is in the West.

Has anyone asked the consultants about the proposed roof construction?, if so can someone post up graphic or description?

Flying buttresses support the roof, they then slope down along the roof, hanging over the roof, forming a perfect circle which mirrors the circle in West Brompton Cemetery (which you see to the North East of the stadium in the pic below).

 

I spoke to the consultants about this at the exhibition and they said it looks incredible ..

Thanks DB sounds fantastic, I am now sold on the design.

Does anyone know what that building is directly behind the MH Stand ? Almost touching it by the looks of it.

Where will the broadcasting trucks go on European night does anyone now? Will the capacity be reduced because of the broadcasting trucks behind the mh stand like what happens now.

Capacity won't be reduced.

 

Trucks will go underground.

Nice. Exciting times but hand on heart I can't see it happening hope I'm wrong. Do you think the council will play ball

I love it, the view from any of the corners will be incredible.

I think they are playing ball, according to the consultant I spoke to, they have been brilliant, and the club have been working with them together on this for 3 years.

 

Here's an article published on the council's website 3 years ago, just before they started working with the club closely on this.

 

http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/News/Enlarged_Stamford_Bridge_should_be_CFCs_future.asp

 

As you can see, they rejected the idea the club had put forward that expansion on the site was unfeasible, they understood our reasons for needing to expand, and they were against us moving outside of the borough, so it looks like this is when the real constructive dialogue started between both parties. I could be wrong though.

 

It's also worth bearing in mind that the council are only one part in this, there are over 100 authorities that need to approve certain aspects of this project, transport authorities, utilities, conservation and so on, and the council will bear all this in mind when they consider our planning application.

Hope so Davey I'll be upset to see the bridge knocked the redevelopment of the bridge was a huge part of my childhood the benches the green bucket seats and the massive floodlights I'll never forget them memories but if we get the go ahead for the stadium being redeveloped it will be iconic

Wow, those 3D renders are images I made just today! How quickly things get shared. Let me know if you guys get more details and I will update the images. I would like to do the roof model but I had so little to go on that it would just be guess work. The same. For the exterior. Not sure why the only official images are so very vague.

What software did you use? I started playing about with 3ds Max, but the only just got started.

I heard a rumour yesterday that the plans have been drawn up to redevelop Stamford Bridge into a 60,000 seater stadium. The feeling seems to be that it's the preferred option for all parties and will be approved. Not sure where the extra will go (though we were speculating), or if we'll have to move elsewhere while the building work is being done. Sounds promising though.

Anyone else heard similar?

 

A year and a half ago Barn.

 

Well done.
