New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Wellspurs]

Agreed, that construction noise must really distract from the usual noise of car horns, emergency vehicle sirens and the local rude boys shouting at one another.

I live out in the suburbs, and on the way to work they are building a huge estate in a field next to a small row of country houses. I should imagine those residents are far more put out than residents around WHL will be.

You missed out gun shots?

 

[LarryCatt]

Yeah, obvious. Like in that NFL announcement about playing there from 2018...

Not beyond the realms of imagination that this is our last year at WHL then?

Look at the marketing fuss little west ham have made about the last year at upton park, and ask yourself if Danny is going to let our last season at WHL slip away without a word.

Would we want that company if their work caused delays at Wembley?

I can't remember who's fault those delays were.

Also someone on Coys has informed us that galliard homes who bought the ground have had an application to turn it into flats turned down by the local council.daily mail saying it is still possible spurs could play there.

Edit: although I've just found this which says something different

Chelsea stadium and timeframes.

15. In terms of timeframe, once they have received feedback from this exhibition, they will produce more detailed plans and a model around September time. There will be further consultation at that point and a planning application submitted this year, all being well. Planning should take a year, and then there is another year of more stuff, and then hopefully building can start, maybe as soon as 2017 but 2018 should be a more realistic target. After that it's a 2 or 3 year build (I can't remember). We could be playing in it as soon as 2020.

Too many people got involved including russian mafia who threatened to sniper the crane operators unless they were paid.

I rather think the FA (with multiple decision makers amongst its huge board) made multiple changes, thus causing delays (think MoD with multiple changes to defence projects hence the projects such as planes or aircraft carriers delivered years late)

Hopefully the contractor gets appointed and is given a full set of drawings so minimal changes (and even those fairly minor) are later required so delays are minimal.

Back to the article - it shows a little more progress although I guess final award of the contract will wait until after planning approval

Very hungover this morning, forgive me.

I remember when Levy was quoting timelines like this. Just wait until Chelsea need to start purchasing land or properties, or when they actually sit down with the council to find out what they think. Is all very well at the preliminary stages, but he's so much more to it. Won't it need to be approved by Boris and/or secretary of state too? Or did we only have to do that because of the CPO requirement?

I think that train line carrying nuclear waste, that I think they want to build over, will cause them some problems too!

The trouble is, it's just hard to trust those in decision making positions with Chelsea around.

Do they not just want to build right up next to the train line? If they want to build on it there would have to be a huge process to redirect trains and things safely.

They could build over the tracks similar to the air rights office developments at Charring Cross and Liverpool Street stations without complete shutdown of the tracks for a long period.There would be instances when the lines would need to be closed which would need a lot of planning but doable. I would expect a dialogue would already have been held with Network Rail.

The Mayor and the Secretary of State have the power to call in planning applications for large schemes on their merits, irrespective of whether there are land ownership disputes that might involve a CPO. The two issues are not connected.

I agree with the rest of your post, about timescales.

Those poor train drivers, having to go past all that dangerous toxic filth.

He cant say anything until planning is approved. Seeing how quickly works have moved on the ground, it juat wouldnt make sense to possibly delay the build due to playing at the lane if planning is approved. I expect they'll drop the news and marketing will ramp up once planning is approved.

Now do we need Wembley for 2 years at that point or just 1. That remains to be seen.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't 100% on circumstances.
