Ryan,,, Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I find it highly unlikely that as Chelsea, they will ever play away from Stamford Bridge. Due to their agreement, if they leave Stamford Bridge they can no longer go by the name of Chelsea FC. I heard they might be moving into the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Olympics though.

turn it upto 11 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 thanks for that. surely Abrom would be able to buy the name rights back though if they did move, or he could just rename them either or. plus why not just make it a permanent 80,000 seater, it would solve chelseas problem, who will just go ahead and build one somewhere anyway, which would take up more room in london. i really dont see the point in keeping a cr*ppy little 25,000 seater stadium.

G-Man11 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 However surely if Chelsea moved to a bigger better stadium the fans would not mind and would not want to see there club lose its name over a new stadium and as such would sell the rights back.

Ryan,,, Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 As long as Chelsea win or come close to winning things I don't think their fans will care what they're called! And Arena, what kind of place in an "Arena"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meggers Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm in 2019/2020 season and Chelsea still play at a 50,000 Stamford Bridge. They won't expand Old Trafford for me anymore either... apparantly 100,000 is enough. I beg to differ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I don't really like having a new stadium named after a former player ( Rehaggel Park in my case at Bremen ). I liked our Weserstadion I guess it is better than having it named after a sponsor though like most German stadia - even worse they seem to be named with a lower case letter to start the name. If I had to manage at Kitkat Crescent I think I'd just die of embarrassment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan,,, Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Being a great admirer of "classical British" stadia I hate these modern stadiums and the word "arena", which seems to come with them a lot! I think stadiums should be named at the places they are at, e.g. The Goldstone was in the Goldstone area of Hove, or Highbury, or White Hart Lane.

superfurrygaz Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 i got so good with Genk on FM 07 that they named the stadium after me "Marsh Stadium" i think the game just chooses a random name from the clubs 'Favoured Personnel' list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
