Chelsea Fans Get First Look At New Home As Club Unveils Model Of Stamford Bridge

Chelsea fans will receive a "first glimpse of their proposed new stadium," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. A model of the planned 60,000-capacity ground "is on display at Stamford Bridge." It is the "dramatic centerpiece" of a second consultation with local residents and fans, as Owner Roman Abramovich "pushes ahead with his ambitious vision" for a £500M ($765M) stadium financed by him as a separate entity away from Chelsea FC business. Strategic planner AECOM said that it hoped work would begin on the project from May '16 before "leaving Stamford Bridge for the final three years of the overhaul." From May '16, Chelsea "would begin work on the slats that will give direct access to Fulham Broadway station" across the neighboring railway lines. 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 will be demolished along with the Chelsea Village flats which will be relocated elsewhere" (DAILY MAIL, 8/31).
