910 ViewsChelsea vs. Middlesbrough : 23 January 2024 My seat for the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough was in row Q – the rear row all but one – of the Matthew Harding Upper and I was inside with about fifteen minutes to go. There had been a greater queue than…

668 ViewsWolverhampton Wanderers vs. Chelsea : 24 December 2023 There was much negative press surrounding the Premier League’s decision to allow Sky TV to move our match at Molineux to Christmas Eve. I felt sorry for those normal match-goers from both sides who had made solid arrangements for other activities on that day and were…
600 ViewsChelsea vs. Newcastle United : 19 December 2023 The League Cup Quarter-Final at home to Newcastle United was positioned just before the rush of football games over Christmas and the New Year.

625 ViewsChelsea Supporters Club once again reiterates its collective and full-throated opposition to any suggestion of a European Super League following today’s decision by the European Court of Justice and subsequent announcement of proposals from A22.

667 ViewsManchester United vs. Chelsea : 6 December 2023 Originally the plan was to stay up in the North-West for four nights, taking in the matches at Manchester United and Everton without the need to travel up and back twice. I had booked accommodation near Piccadilly for Wednesday night, and accommodation near Goodison Park for…
