Have the club made a statement since Setia purchased the site?<br />The club offered a 3 mile radius which got many people thinking about a site in Scrubs Lane. LBHF have been trying to keep CFC at SB in order to keep them out of EC for all of the reasons we have put forward on this blog. EC is but a few hundreds yards down the railway line and still in the borough. CFC could not reveal their plan at EC for obvious reasons - rock and a hard place...though hints were enormous.<br />If Chelsea, a business resident in the borough, decide to move to Battersea, something has to be done with the land they vacate and no planning authority has a right to be spiteful in blocking what would be a valuable development and which would no doubt include many social benefits to the borough.CFCtruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812753516135844907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352890809957291551.post-14899882435455865402012-11-19T11:56:38.369-08:002012-11-19T11:56:38.369-08:00What do you mean "hopefully"?

While I agree that EC and Battersea are desirable locations, I see no reason to believe the club would get anything but a positive result in any vote were it clear it would be either of these locations. Regarding Battersea, plans have been unveiled. Chelsea made a statement upon losing the bid, why should they have made a statement since? I don't understand. If the vote put the blockers on any EC plans, as you assert, why did the club insist upon their 10 mile radius or whatever it was? That doesn't make sense either. If they were really serious about EC and were dependent upon a "yes" vote to convince CapCo, they certainly went the wrong way about it. The other thing to throw into the mix is this: Chelsea may be able to offer SB to any interested developer, but LBHF do not have to grant planning consent, particularly if it involves Chelsea going to Battersea and leaving the borough. The site is no good on its own, it will require compulsory purchasing orders and planning approval for whatever plans the developers have. Lastly, if the club require CPOs to give their approval to moving within 2.5 miles, you would have thought they would have asked for it first. What you seem to be suggesting is that CPOs give their consent to something that isn't even being asked for, and that seems strange. Thanks for your thoughts however, an invaluable service you provide to all Chelsea fans. If you can answer some of my questions that would be great :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352890809957291551.post-3983362105335880572012-11-19T05:43:04.460-08:002012-11-19T05:43:04.460-08:00As a Pitch Owner I would have absolutely no issues...As a Pitch Owner I would have absolutely no issues whatsoever in giving up my share for a guarenteed move to either Battersea or Earls Court. I am also convinced that the majority of share holders would be of the same opinion. Having sat in the extraordinary meeting all those months ago the argument was lost by the CFC board not won by the SAYNO campaign. Hopefully this will be passed on within the pitch owners circle and CPO will be able to give the club a very positive message.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352890809957291551.post-52319260957364924902012-11-18T16:37:56.769-08:002012-11-18T16:37:56.769-08:00This is a good blog, needs to be spread as far and...This is a good blog, needs to be spread as far and wide as possible.
