‘A Slinky, an egg slicer and an ashtray’: Twitter tears into Chelsea’s new £500m stadium designs

The internet has taken a massive swipe at Chelsea after images of their proposed new-look Stamford Bridge were released

FOR Chelsea, Wednesday was a momentous day which marked the beginning of a new era, but for Twitter it was a great opportunity to tell the Blues that their new stadium looks like a food dicer.

The Premier League leaders unveiled bold new 'futuristic' plans for their 60,000-seater stadium- but not everyone approves.

It is fair to say that the new Stamford Bridge - or Game of Thrones colosseum, as it has been dubbed online - design has garnered mixed reviews.

Here is the best of what Twitter had to offer:

Before Chelsea can begin any expansion of their  ground they must first wait for the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan to give his backing of the scale up.

A club statement read: “We are grateful that planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of our home.

“This is just the latest step, although a significant one that we have to take before we can commence work.”
