For those Chelsea
fans who are absolutely livid about their sides bad start to the season there is
something to actually pacify your anger not completely but I guess it’ll try, a
first glimpse of their proposed new stadium model with 60,000 capacity and
would be on display at Stamford Bridge from today.
It is the dramatic
centrepiece of a second consultation with local residents and fans, as owner
Roman Abramovich pushes ahead with his ambitious vision for a £500million
stadium financed by him as a separate entity away from Chelsea FC business.
Chelsea would eventually
need to move to a temporary home most
likely Wembley for three seasons while Stamford Bridge is rebuilt.
Works on the
60,000-capacity rebuilding project of Stamford Bridge is billed to begin within
nine months and the Champions have already submitted details to the local
council earlier this month.
Strategic planners
AECOM say they hope work would begin on the project from May 2016 before
leaving Stamford Bridge for the final three years of the overhaul.Twelve months
on, the team would move out and the main period of demolition and subsequent
construction would begin.
That stage could
take as long as a year alone, with around 100 heavy goods vehicles coming in
and out of the site each day. Both hotels attached to the stadium would also be
demolished along with the Chelsea Village flats which will be relocated
elsewhere.
The club would be
expected to return home after three years away, potentially kicking off the
2020/21 season in the ground that they originally moved into 115 years before
that date.
