whereismycuppa Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi everybody, My name is Victor. I work and live in Moscow but this summer I'm on a sort of vacation, spending great time here, in London. I am a huge Chelsea fan and always watch CFC games back home in a pub. I wonder do you, guys, have special place (or places) where Chelsea fans always watch games on TV? I ask because I can't really afford buying tickets on first two games against West Brom and Stoke so I want to watch both matches somewhere. So do you have such places in mind? And my second question is about Cobham training ground. Can someone actually visit it and watch practice? Or maybe team have some open days or open practice at Stamford Bridge before Premier League starts? This is my first time in London and I don't really know how things work. Thanks, Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 There are lots of places to watch the games if they are on TV. As for the training ground i dont think you go get in anymore. Not 100% on this tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exportjack Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just get yourself down west brompton and fulham broadway.... i'm sure you'll find a pub or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes go to fulham broadway on match days. Got to a pub called Brogans, exit the fulham broadway station and turn right. walk for maybe 3 minutes and you'll see it. There will be lots of people around on matchdays. You could also go to the bar in chelsea village? Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moi Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi Victor. I'm not sure about the training ground at Cobham - you used ot be able to. Geezer will know - I'll ask him! Welcome to th e site anyway. You've made a good choice. This is the best Chelsea site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi Victor, the training ground is pretty much a no go area unless you have an invite or have won a competition allowing you on to the premises I'm afraid however it might be worth calling the club explaining that you are coming over from Russia and would like nto visit the training campus. Still unlikely you'll be successful but if you don't ask then you don't get. The guys above have given you some pointers for pubs and Brogan's is your best bet. With regards to the bar at the Bridge - it isn't a bar anymore, it's now a restaurant which is part owned by an Arsenal fan!! Whatever you decide to do I'm sure you'll have a great time visiting Stamford Bridge and I strongly suggest you do a ground tour and also take in the newly opened museum to get the full benefit of your visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismycuppa Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Many thanks to geezer for such a full and useful answer. I'm going to this Brogans pub tomorrow to watch the game. Anyone coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_mac Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 By the way the game starts 13.30, innit? What time I can come in advance? In London for a couple of weeks and you're already using "innit?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
