Chelaea Fc has just gave thier fans a job opportuinty and to be part of the Chelsea Football Club’s plannin
application for an expanded
stadium is pending and if the
redevelopment goes ahead, we
want supporters to help create i
by designing a new landmark -
the Stamford Bridge Gates.
The Gates will be one of the
most prominent features of the
site and their design is to be
chosen by a competition, with
the full details and the
background to it given below…
Stamford Bridge is the bridge which
carries Fulham Road over the West
London Railway Line at the south-east
corner of Stamford Bridge Grounds,
historic home of Chelsea Football
Club.
As part of the new stadium
development, subject to planning
permission, we are expanding the
actual bridge, linking Fulham Road
directly to the East Stand.
To mark this new bridge, our council
of the London Borough of
Hammersmith & Fulham has
requested a landmark set of Bridge
Gates.
Respecting the heritage of the site, w
are following the great London
tradition of public design competition
for epic city structures, for example
from Tower Bridge in 1876 to the
Royal Parks competition for gates to
Hyde Park today.
So the gates for Stamford Bridge will
be designed by public competition,
open to everyone. club on rebuilding stamford bridge.
