Chelsea Football Club

Before the season was over, we decided to go to a Chelsea game since we are staying in Chelsea and the stadium is so close. The Chelsea Football club, which was founded in Fulham in 1905 and plays in the Premier League, has been a top tier team in the history of English Football. As soon as we stepped out of the tube station we were overwhelmed by so many Chelsea fans. The entire streets were covered with people wearing light blue shirts and jerseys and hats and painted faces and scarves of the same colors and looking so proud to be wearing all of that! Cars were not even able to drive through the streets because the fans overtook the whole area all the way to the Stamford Bridge stadium (their mascot is also named Stamford). This shows how proud the people of this area are of their team. I mean, even on pub doors and windows they had signs that said they did not allow anyone that was not a Chelsea fan. It was crazy. This is probably because with how passionate they are about their team, if opponent team fans came in to the same bars, there would definitely be a fight. Unfortunately we did not get to go inside the stadium because the remaining tickets were about 100 pounds and over just for one ticket. So we decided to just watch the game at a local pub to still get the feel of all the fans cheering for their team. There were even young fans there with their parents, little boys cheering on the game with their dads, showing family tradition as well. I’m sure if you’re born into a family that cheers for the Chelsea team you are most certainly going to be a Chelsea fan. It just shows how deep rooted their pride and traditions are. It was a really fun experience, but next time I would definitely like to actually go inside the stadium.
