Figure it out yourself, I'm not your mum.

Figure what out? 

Why is there a limit of 50k at Wembley? The capacity is 85k as mentioned before - so why cut it to 50k?

Because they're not allowed to host more than a set number of events at the stadium at full capacity.

Letting us use the stadium at 50k is basically a loop hole.

And besides, we wont need more than 50k, we wouldn't be able to fill 85k, especially at Wembley.

twickenham is a stadium we could've made our own tbh, whereas wembley is a neutral stadium for football games (if that makes sense) so it is a tiny bit concerning we have to spend 3 season there. a lot of people have mentioned how the atmosphere at wembley is pretty atrocious, so hopefully the board can figure out a way of creating an atmosphere there unique to us on game days. 

 

any idea if we will put blue covers on the seats and change the design for match days? the seats are red at the moment, f**k that! lol

If Chelsea have any sense they'll do cheaper season tickets, make sure we have a proper home end where our younger fans can go & make some noise, otherwise if everyone is spread out the atmosphere will be crap.

 

I can see us struggling to sell out some games especially the midweek games, Wembley is a nightmare to get away from after games, i'm not looking forward to it at all.

Wembley is our second home anyway so it's quite good in that respect!

Of course it will not be easy to fill 50k in midwinter vs Sunderland or Bournemouth - but against the top teams in the EPL and in the champions league there would be a bigger demand than 50k.

 

On the other side we should be happy to get a big ground there and may be sell the tickets 20% off or so.

I'm not so sure to be honest, the CL group games always has a lot of tourists or foreign fans present obviously taking up tickets sts clearly dont want.

I see there's plans to open a new Chelsea station in the Kings Road for the new Cross rail line 2, locals are opposing it though.

I agree with this. also away fans will get a bigger allocation might be a lot of away fans first day out at Wembley

League cup ties v lower league clubs will be interesting, wonder if we'd sell it out & how many a smaller club would bring?

Minutes from the CPO Board Meeting on 30 July. Point 2 covers the redevelopment of the ground.

I reckon if you gave 12000 tickets to a lower league club they would be snapped up

It'd depend on the club i suppose mate, maybe a club we've never played or havent played for years & years they might but a lot of lower league clubs only get 4,000 for home games & that includes the away support as well, also League cup being midweek might have a bearing as well, FA Cup on a sat might see 1,000s of away fans make the effort.

Apparently we're just awaiting sign off from the Premier League to play at Wembley Stadium for 3 seasons

FA have agreed to us playing there at a cost of £12m a year.

All dependent on getting planning permission for the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge of course.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but I'll post it anyway.

I received an email today from the club about attending the latest consultations about the redevelopment of the Bridge. Consultations are between noon and 8pm on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of September. Entrance to consultations is Gate 6 of the West Stand. I'm a ST holder and CPO. Anyone else received an invitation? I'll go to the consultation and let you know what was said.

I got one too but don't expect to travel 340 miles return either.  So will take you up on your offer to report back thanks.

I got one this time as well but similarly the 800 odd mile round trip s a bit much, it's nice they still invite members & things who stay far away though!

hope we stay at the bridge....its our home ..a 60 thousand  stadium sounds great at the mo....but would be worried if the club takes a backward step after abramovich,,,if we could fill it ...hard core Chelsea around 30thou..........

Remember the problem Arsenal had when they played their champions league games there, when there ground was being re built? Atmosphere was different, it didnt seem to help anyway with lacklustre performances. Wenger said, they did not feel like they were at home and the visiting teams did not feel like they were playing away, but at a neutral venue

Not sure it had anything to do with rebuilding they just want more money I could be wrong

A convenient and ready-made excuse, what has the problem been since?
