Can't find any pictures but was at this game for which only 300-400 Chelsea fans made the trip;

We were in a perspex enclosed barrier on the lower terrace surrounded by riot police and 50,000 turks on the other side. The abduls were charging the barriers and throwing anything they could lay their hands on. Right at the end I got hit on the nut by a full plastic bottle thrown from an upper tier. Split me head open and claret everywhere. As I was being taped up in the concourse below Lovejoy sauntered over and said "don't worry mate, we'll get 'em outside!". Didn't fancy the odds on that one myself. Was then taken out in an ambulance with the turks kicking the sh*t out of the sides as it made its way out of the stadium. 

 

Forgot to mention this was also the game Roman's security guards got him to leave the ground early.

Some cracking Zola pics.

 

I particularly like the shot of him squaring up with Gazza, whom I cannot stand!

 

Kingy couple of faces in this pic you know ;-)

Marseille away

Remember that. Luckily was a bit further up so didn't get it that bad.

Great photos there mate.

I remember meeting ruddy in a hotel when he became manager.

I wished him all the best and he said he would give all he could to the blues :)

A forgotten Cup Final.

picture of franco in yellow away kit still my favourite chelsea goal vs wimbledon semi final on my birthday as well no one but him could have scored a goal like that pure genius

Zola was a genius.

Stamford Bridge as was:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats just how i liked it....Creaking northstand.......Northstand northstand do your job etc.......Pay a coupla quid extra to get intothe west stand....The old woodeny east stand......SEXTON..SEXTON.....N the rotten old babe of a shed end where most of us have laughed , cried, shagged,fought, made freinds , aquaintances and loves......Gimme that place anytime over the one we have now

The middle pic is how the ground looked in my first season 71/2.

Yep same here. That was before Brian Mears had his dream, of course.

The other half of the shot that TD posted:

 

 

I presume that the away end is populated by mancs?

Nicely stitched together there.

^{great pics Used to love the sight of the three floodlights as my train came over the river towards victoria station.}

O my god I can still smell the half cooked burgers and fried onions.

Great pics of The Bridge.

A great view from the away end of SB,but looking at the picture,a couple of things don't quite look right.

 

Firstly,that floodlight pylon on the right seams to have jumped off it's concrete mounting on the terrace & landed onto the running track!. 

 

The away end looks pretty full as does the Shed plus the West stand,yet the East stand looks strangly empty?.

 

A great picture,but it looks kind of odd at the same time.

 

It looks as if the players are out on the pitch doing their pre-match routine, so I presume that the ground would still be filling up. (The East stand in particular of course, posh seats and all that! )

 

The pylon is clearly different to the old behemoths and only has one bank of lights as opposed to two, I assume it's the temporary one put up whilst the away terrace was getting re-developed?

 

 

I spotted these two pieces of art on the Christies website, very nostalgic.

 

 

It's odd to see Frank sporting this particular number, even if it is only a training top. It clearly can't have been one of Franco's spares!

I like the old paintings, the top one must be against QPR going by the lack of away support.

I remember that bike in the megastore along with a car and scooter. 97/98 seasoni think

That was the queue that was.
