Hi guys, I'm new here. I've been a Chelsea fan for more than a decade now although I'm from Israel. Personally, I have never encountered antagonism from local fans, even when I went to the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv and sat at the Chelsea sector.
As an abroad fan, I am forced to pay crazy money for tickets. My last game was the FA cup final, I paid almost 300 pounds for the sh*ttiest seat in the house (enjoyed every second even though we played poorly and lost, and sang my heart out). Also, of course I need to travel and miss a few days work... If you love this club it doesn't matter where you from, I don't consider myself a lesser fan and locals who think they are better fans because they were born near a football pitch, well, they can fu*k off. Cheers.
