IrishBlue

The last time i went over for the Fulham game last season, we went to Smith's. It's an Irish bar at the Tube stop before Fulham Broadway. Lovely place full of Chelsea fans, good food and a nice pint. We went there round the 11:30 mark, had a bit of grub few drinks and walked through the graveyard, which is about 20mins walk from the Bridge. Bit different than going to the usual spots. It was recommended to us by three old school fans last year. Probably not the place for chants but a good place all n all. Nowhere comes near the So Bar in that respect! Love going to the MHL after a few pints really gets you going for the singing! Can't wait to get back over!

No the ticket is with the chelsea fans. We are allocated 5,000 tickets so they can get the tix with the chelsea fans. The good thing about going by feffy/coach is that they'll drop you straight to the ground to start boozing! I've got a broken ankle. I broke it when i was a bit drunk on my first day in Gran Canaria, so flying might be a a bit out of the question. I was planning on going to Spurs game but might not be allowed up in the air!

Its just easier than planning it yourself. Flights can be expensive as if utd or Liverpool are playing at home the prices will go up. For the price its a pretty good deal. Long day but you could get plenty of drinking done in that time! Few of friends have gone on similar trips with that company and they loved it. A great opportunity to meet up with other blues fans living over here. I personally don't know any fans apart from my dad!

The not all bad check out the day trip for Wigan away! http://www.celtichorizontours.com/celticho...n/Main/Home.asp

Plus Newton is an assistant and Hitchcock is a coach at City! Not many left who don't manage, Minto works for cfc tv. Wonder where Andy Myers is these days!

I was just surfing the net as you do earlier and i came across a great deal for us blues in Ireland to go and see us play away. Celtic Horizon rarely do away trips for Chelsea so i think i might snap it up for 129euro. Travel and match ticket included so you can't go wrong! Saturday afternoon pissup, with the Chelsea boys singing all day would be amazing. None of my friends are blues and my da's away so will have to convince some others to go! I've only ever been away once and don't think i'll let this opportunity pass! Here's the link, check it out http://www.celtichorizontours.com/celticho...n/Main/Home.asp

Drogba on top form, no one can stop us! This our year! Attack Barce like they attacked us, i reckon we'll see the tactical genius that is Guus Hiddink!

Thinking about heading over for Champs league final if we make it! Hope the prices aren't like that! I feel your pain, nowhere for Chelsea fans to watch a big game with fellow supporters in Dublin! Stayed at home for last years final, but i think it would be amazing to experience the real atmosphere for a cup final rather than watching it at home with my dad! Will be in the Matthew harding stand for the Fulham game, can't wait!

Jose back please. if not maybe deschamps, with zola! Then some of the obvious contenders, but not rikard

True very proud of the boys... we'll be back!

Hi i am just wondering there are any other Chelsea fans from/living in Dublin, who know of any pub where there might be blues fans. There are a lot of pubs which are doing a Man utd night only, which pisses me off! Anywhere you go over here, will be dominated by Utd fans! If anyone knows of anywhere please get back! cheers!

I'm from Ireland. My Da followed Chelsea all his life so was brought up so. One of the only kids in Dublin! First game was in '95 vs Utd, we lost 4-1. Used to tape MOTD everytime chelsea won... used to watch over and over! Seriously hooked, really fell in love with the blues when we beat liverpool 4-2 in the cup! What a day!

The guy has great potential, Readings best player and spearheaded there championship winning season. Box to box, honest player always gives 100%. I reckon he'd to a job if anyone of our central midfielders were missing. He's only going to get better!
