Newspaper report of new stadium designed by HOK Sport denied by club
Chelsea Football Club has denied reports that it intends to build a new stadium at Battersea Power Station designed by HOK Sport.
The Observer reported this weekend that the west London football club was considering a 拢500m move from its Stamford Bridge home to a location near Battersea Power Station.
The report said that HOK Sport had designed a new, 75,000-seat stadium for the club, which now heads the premiership league. An HOK employee was quoted as saying that its presentation was 鈥渃ommon knowledge鈥� around the club.
But Chelsea has rubbished the reports as 鈥渢otal nonsense鈥�. A statement released yesterday said: 鈥淐helsea is not actively considering moving to this site in Battersea鈥� the architects HOK have not been commissioned by Chelsea to build a stadium and do not work for the club. Their approach was unsolicited.鈥�
