[chelseabootboy]

[secbastia]

look at a clip from a year later, you will hardly see a Chelsea fan,and the very few, that were there were the ones that were bullied in the clock end for the next three league games and one fa cup game. Embarrasing. 1970 saw the end of big Chelsea games in London and they went downhill

not on about the fans being bullied was trying to say in that short clip it looked like the players bullied the arsenal players just like we do today

[secbastia]

agree that we did look the guvnor's on the pitch, unbelievable the skill that the players had on those c..p pitches

Don't know about that, I remember us giving the gooners a kicking in the Clock End round about 72 or 73, it even got shown on TV.

i remember the 7172 game in the sun at the start of the season when both teams paraded their trophies, we lost 3-0, it was'nt that one, also the 1-1 around that time when charlie cooke scored a great goal, it was not that one either and boxing day 74 forget about it, i seem to be missing one

Just had a look at the fixtures back then, and it must have been 73/74 season when we drew 0-0, November 1973 - I'd have been 16 at the time.

[secbastia]

thats the one i missed then, so they got two kickings that season!

I think that match was used in some film about skinheads, but what a great day - how I loved that team ! 5-1 at Palace, 4-2 v QPR, 5-1 v Watford and the final v Leeds !

[secbastia]

i thought by 73 skinheads had well and truly gone and everyone was wearing baggy flares, bowling shirts etc

They had, but this game was in January 1970, when they were everywhere.

[secbastia]

there is one from the home game in 69 as well, it looks like Chelsea are getting run. I was at the game and Arsenal had half the shed.

Sometime in the mid 70s our game was called of (possibly QPR or Burnley), we all went to Highbury en masse who were playing Wolves, we had a massive mob in the middle of the North Bank and filled out most of the clock end as well.

Funny thing is I do not remember any Wolves fans being there or the score, twas a good day out.

I don't remember it like that. Burnley at home in the cup was posponed late and everyone headed to Highbury. It took ages to get in and we were on the camera side of the Clockend with Wolves between us and Arsenal and I certainly don't remember any Chelsea in the Northbank unless they were right at the back and you couldn't hear or see them. Anyway, if we'd have taken them at a game we weren't playing at it would have gone down in history. Most cleared off at half time as we could see what was coming and despite us giving Arsenal a pasting in our matches against them they weren't mugs. I'm sure the game was on the Big Match and the camera panned around to us in the Clockend with Brian Moore making a comment about our presence.

Turning up when we weren't playing turned sour a couple of times. After a morning KO v Arsenal in a friendly (Clive Walker's debut) a load went down to Fulham v Sheffield and got in early at the back of the Thamesbank, that was on the Big Match too and you could hear us. At half time a dozen or so Fulham and a few Shed boy hating Chelsea from the Clem Atlee Estate piled in and everyone scattered which was a right embarrasment as the numbers were about 10-1 on our side. The other time was going to Wimbledon v Portsmouth after a morning KO at Southampton. None of the 400 who got in expected 7000 Pompey!! Needless to say a serious case of melting took place and god only knows how Kojack came out of there in one piece with his sleeveless denim jacket covered with it's UP CHELSEA! patches
