It's one of the curious things about Chelsea isn't it. Our support can't be totally pinned down to specific areas and never could really. despite obvious strongholds like wandsworth  battersea and pimlico. We always had fans dotted about well into the home counties. Hickeys mob were from Tunbridge wells, there were big contingents from Slough, Camberley, Kingston. Myself I used to get the train up from Orpington and Bromley and there were always plenty of others using that line.

Yeah Bromley south and Beckenham junction when I was a younger!!

Wimbledon away in 1988. I think I was at this game. It's a blur after all these years. We won 1-0.

I was there in the home end with loads more Chelsea. Not the best  match yet a wins a win when you're away. I think you may be out by a season though:

S

Scorer	Wilson 80
Booked	Durie
Debut Players	Alan Dickens
Manager	Bobby Campbell

Chelsea at Tottenham, 1978, well before the game, our end was rammed by kick off.

I'll dig out the match highlights. think we wore our yellow and green away strip from memory !

Highlight and we did.

That is a proper photo CB.

Apparantly they gave the Maltzers a going over in 82. According to the papers ( load of bollox), they put the windows in and climbed through them. Why didn’t they just use the door.

Got locked out  me and a couple of mates got caught trying to bunk into the home end by climbing the fence. We were halfway up the fence when a load of Chelsea started cheering which alerted the old bill. There was a big gippo site by the ground there was a stand off with them they said you ain't coming through they were cockneys not Irish and tooled up so we left it !.

That pikey camp is still there. Only time I bunked In was the 2001 Cup final v Villa- squeezed in the turnstile with me mate- we all shuffled up on the seats a bit but some bloke got the hump and reported me to a steward about 10 minutes into the game and got escorted out.

A lot a seat sharing used to go on in Gate 13

Talking of do what you likeys, anyone noticed in between Clapham Junction and Victoria the small gypsy camp next to the scaffolding yard? ( Culvert Rd Battersea). There’s a wooden hut thing covered in Chelsea posters and flags- the yard is owned by mates of mine the Mills family- big CFC fans- they kip in the hut which is about 10 feet from the railway tracks when they’re in town.

Oddly enough it was one the family I bunked through the turnstiles with.

Arsenal 0-5 Chelsea,

From the League Cup back in 1998  

Always worth a watch this game.

Enjoy !

Chelsea 3-1 Arsenal, League Cup 1998 (Vialli's first game in charge)  

Gianluca Vialli faced a tough task in his first game as Chelsea player-manager. To reach the League Cup final, his side had to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg of their semi-final with Arsenal, a team that were on a 12-match unbeaten run. It was a game that saw nine bookings, one red card and four goals, including one wonder strike by Roberto Di Matteo. Brian Moore is the commentator.

Another to enjoy.

Not a Chris Evans fan, in fact I can't stand the ginger ponce, but been a Weller fan since the very early days of the Jam, and you only need to watch the vid for 10 seconds or so to realise that he's even more of a top bloke.

Breaking News .....Roman Abromovich to start Stamford bridge redevelopment again, the design above is the new shed end, this ground breaking design will do away with ques for the toilets, and allow fans to releave themselves where they stand, also fans for their own safety will be kept behind electric fences.

Although I always like us in a yellow away kit, I always had a real soft spot for this kit

Wonder what ever happened to the crest on the East Stand Middle tier? There was also an identical one above the Shed turnstiles. Auctioned off or hanging in Bates’s downstairs toilet?
