Hello everyone, my name is Chris and I follow Chelsea since 97/98 season.

I was 10yo then, I lived in Poland, which was barely liberated from the hands of the Soviets. The thought of visiting London and attending a Chelsea game live was as attainable to me as going to Mars.

Since then, I grew up, emigrated to Ireland years ago, but life happened and somehow I postponed this longed-for visit without end (because I still have time, and a million other stupid reasons) However, the last two years' calamities made me realize that all this can move away from me as far as More than 20 years ago, when I was watching the Cup Winners' Cup finals on a Soviet-made TV set, I decided to act as soon as the first opportunity arose.

Last summer I was lucky enough to visit the Stamford Bridge for a tour, see the club museum, and explore the wonderful historic and diverse city of London. However I didn't stop there, I bought a membership for current season and in a little over a week, one of my biggest football dreams will come true and I will have a chance to see a Chelsea match live (I managed to secure a ticket for the match vs City 🙂 ). I also decided that it would not be my first and last visit to the Bridge and I would try to go to matches at least a couple of times a year.

Thank you for accepting me to the forum, happy to be here! 

PS.
In order not to create a new topic, I have a question (I doubt anyone would look here, but I will take the risk 😉 ). The official site says that to enter Stamford Bridge you must present the covid test result at the entrance. It says Supporters displaying a negative Lateral Flow result should do so on the NHS app, or via a text message or email from NHS Test and Trace. As I live in Ireland myself therefore my question: Does anyone know how that relates to fans from abroad and whether a simple test made at, for example, an airport is enough?
