Will in actual fact be a lot more than that, as the hospitality sales will be ££

And inevitable sponsors

And the fools paying £7 a pint before the game and a fiver for a dry hotdog

Great news! Just fitting because we are about to become England's pride in coming seasons.

Not bragging. Just  real talk!

Wish we could have crammed in an extra 10k. Does anybody think we will change the tunnels, maybe build them underground? Really wanna see a wider tunnel.

So whats that about £40m per season, x10 years = (£400m) almost the price of the whole stadium(£500m) paid for in 10 years, just from the extra revenue from those 20k seats. Probably quicker depending on the rate of price increase on those seats in the future.

We don't play 40 home games a season.

Lets say we play 19 prem homes games, 4 cup games and 5 European games, that's about 28 home games.

£50 ticket + (£10 food + £10 drink + £30 club shop) = £100 spent in ground. Let's say £80 of that is profit.

£80 x 28 = £2'240 per seat per season.

2240 x 20k = £44.8m per season profit from the extra 20k seats.

x10 years = £448m

Pocket change for Roman

Maybe so but we can't rely on Roman Abrahmovich's money as much as we did in the past. This money will help us keep up with the other top teams around the world.

Plus what those extra 20 k eat drink and spend in the mega store. If they all by a twix at 1.90£ they will pay for it in no time!!!

Again, you are wildly exaggerating. I really don't think those 20 000 extra spectators will spend an extra £50 each EVERY game. Say I took my son, that would mean I'd spend £100 per game ON TOP of the £100 I spend on tickets. By your maths, going to the Bridge would cost me £5600  (28 x £200) (about a quarter of the average net income in the UK), before I'd spent a penny on transport.

The extra seats will provide a decent income, but will take a lot more than 10 years to pay off the cost of rebuilding and expanding the ground.

I think you are probably underestimating the cost of tickets in the new Bridge, They've been frozen for several years, but the new ground will see them rise in price. Hopefully not by too much, but they will go up (some of the safe standing areas might even cost less than the cheapest seats do now).

Yes of course everyone wont spend that, it's an average, plenty will spend more than that, especially on the corporate side. Just because you don't spend that much money at games, don't assume others don't. I spend approx £100 alone every time i'm in the club shop, say the seats either side of me don't spend anything in the club shop, that is still an average of £33 per seat.

Its quite simple guys.

Arsenal have a match day revenue per season of around £100m, we have a match day revenue per season of around £70m. Our new stadium will likely match Arsenal's revenue for match day income. 

So an extra £30m per season. 

Take away costs and you are looking at £10m-20m per season but those will be offset by any sponsorship deal we enter into which will probably be around £10m-£15m per season.

irrelevant really though about when the stadium has paid for itself. The stadium is to secure our future and cement our place among the top table. The stadium is also - I thought - ultimately a gift from RA to Chelsea and the club will be given to his son upon completion. It isn't a loan like Arsenal had which hampered their progress for a number of years as they sought to be profitable. 
 

 

 

The money on extra booze sales alone will pay for the stand in no time.

The biggest draw of these new stadiums are the guys who 3 and 4 figures per game to sit in the corporate and hosptality seating. I had a mate from Ireland who for 6 years had a corporate seating in one of the suites for himself and his father costing about £2,500 each a year. The new stadium will increase the amount of "fat cats" in the stadium and a lot of these seats costs 10 times what a regular seat is.

The new Bridge will have serious corporate seating on all 4 sides between boxes, suites and hosptality, we'll rake in the money and because of those increases, I dont think we'll see a situation like Arsenal where their tickets sky rocketed in price, as its been said already, Arsenal were burdened with a debt for their stadium, we wont have to repay anyone as the money will come from Roman and Chelsea in 20/30 years should be safe too as his son seems to be just as passionate about Chelsea.

None of them were new?  I'm dissapointed

Some people seem to hate the stadium design, but I think it's quite good and it keeps growing on me the more I see the designs. At least it has a distinctive look, so it won't be just like about 90% of modern stadiums out there. For some reason it reminds me of a gothic cathedral.

This is so beautiful. Feels like an ancient architecture.

It's the buttresses that does it.

 

Nothing new but  it's nicely put together and explained, definitely worth a watch. Written by Dan Levene.

Will we be able to fill all the seats? We don't want to be like Man City, with a soulless, half-empty ground.

Our prime location inside Europe's most populated city will mean it is full every game.

If you were a clever billionaire looking for a club to buy, you would be wise to come to West London.
