Just seen the proposed plans for the expansion of the Bridge. It looks magnificent IMO! What does everyone else think?

Every day I thank god for Roman Abromavich. It absolutely has to happen for the club to maximize its potential. Does anyone know if the Chelsea pitch owners have any say in agreeing this? I personally feel it's time that they put aside their interests and put the clubs interest first.

I don't think they have much say in whether the expansion goes ahead. They've always said they don't want the club to move from the site of Stamford Bridge, because if they did the club would have to operate under a different name unless they came to an agreement, which they tried and failed.

These plans look fantastic, and they are the only real way that the stadium can be expanded to the capacity that the club want. The idea of boarding over the tube tracks behind the MH stand are something which should have been done years ago, because that is a fantastic solution to the problem which fans face on a match day, with such a short walk from the tube station to the stadium, it just make sense.

If these are approved, I just wonder how long it would take to build, and how long before Chelsea would have to move from Stamford Bridge, because like West Ham are doing, I would love a 'Farewell Stamford Bridge' season (as we know it now).
