Hello from France

Hi,

Nice to e-meet you 🙂

I live in France, in Metz, passionate about football in general, and supporter of the Chelsea club since the mid-90s.

With my cousin, we started to really follow the club and become attached to it in the late 90s, before its takeover, especially in the period of Gullit and the one when the Italian contingent arrived with later Vialli player-manager.

With a few friends, we try to attend several Premier League games every season. For almost 10 years, we have also been organizing at least one weekend at the end of the year, as a tradition, where we always attend a match 🙂 This year also marks my 40th birthday. 

We had checked the weekend of November 27th to come to the Bridge and its unique atmosphere. Bad idea this one is the one with the big game against United. Being all club members and having always managed to get tickets, I was not so anxious. As Chelsea France supporter club members, we didn't manage to get tickets through them either. Maybe we were presumptuous, but this is the first time we couldn't get tickets, even for a big match.

Our supporter's club gets from the club only about fifteen tickets for fifty requests at least. They told me that this match is the highest demand match in about two decades.

And on my side even with the loyalty points earned for less popular matches earlier in the season, I did not manage to get tickets.

I realised the high demand for this game afterwards, naive isn't it 😂. I'm trying hard through ticket exchange to find someone who will want to part with a spare ticket, but realistically it’s tough.

At least its allowed me discover this Forum. I had some fun reading previous comment about Thomas Tuchel and his announcement as new head coach. It seems that it has beaten the predictions.

Anyway, in any case, we will be in London the weekend of November 27th, if by any chance someone should have a spare ticket, due to a last minute unforeseen event, which I do not wish, of course, just think of us.

Cheers

Nicolas

Welcome Nicolas, start posting and maybe you can join the ticket exchange part of the forum, @coco can put you right there.

I was a match going fan in the 90s and remember Lebeouf too along side the Italian contingent, he served us well for a few seasons. 

Thank you for your welcome message.
Haha Franck Lebeouf. Did you know that he was playing in Theater. 

I sometimes feel a bit nostalgic about that team made of bits and pieces, almost folkloric. We had some tough team player like Steve Clark. Even if we have since obtained much better results and better football style.

Haha, I did not know about Lebeouf and the theatre, hope he is better than Cantona 😀
