My favourite time as a Chelsea fan was 94- 2005 roughly. Europe away trips with your mates for the first time, winning trophy’s for the first time, still an old school support. 

This didn't come out hopefully it will now. Best times at the Bridge the infamous Gate 13. We were the first to sit no question about it.

Nothing better than watching from the shed, and seeing gate 13 or the benches suddenly stand up at 10 men went to mow, doesn't have the same effect these days as everyone is standing from the on set.
