No. Basically it's down to him not being a 'yes' man.
-
Not buying the prices argument. If that was the case, why are the most expensive games the ones with the best atmosphere? It's all down to expectations and fan complacency
-
He's now on reduced duties. I know the reason but I'm not going to say what it is. It's nothing sinister!
-
Just be careful with it, don't tumble dry it, it's glued not stitched like the replicas and the heat makes the glue weak.

Think it was May 4th
-
Yeah, all the players from that era are normal down to earth guys.
-
I have hundreds, favourites are the squad signed UCL squad winning shirt with CFC Club COA and the 'Best Wishes Joe, Cat and Sam' (the wife and the boy) personlised ones, JT, Frank, Joe Cole, Chopper, Bonetti, Walker, Dixon, Bridges, Tambling have all done them for me

You'll enjoy that, he is a good speaker
-
Got to be at the Bridge for this one!
-
The best midfield would be Luiz alone in a sweeper style role, and add a second striker up front to help the current isolated lone man. We can't defend anyway so why not just go for it and outscore teams!
-
Both Manchesters away on a Monday night is very annoying.
-
Over 40 Eastern Blues will be attending this one!
-
It was mentioned yes, won't find out the outcome of it till the next meeting though.

Our atmosphere is a victim of our success and expectations of the team and no matter what we do, safe standing, cheap seats, singing sections, it doesn't matter, that will not change whilst we are one of the worlds top teams unless because of our culture, us Brits like to take it easy when we are complacent. Have you never noticed how, unlike at most clubs, who 'only sing when your winning' our atmosphere and support increases if we go behind to an inferior team? We are more likely to sing with more force when we're losing in the majority of games. The last massive European night we had, Barcelona in the Semi Final in 2012, I was in the Shed Upper and trust me, there was no problem with the atmosphere that night, why.... because we were not expected to win 3 or 4 nil at a canter, we were the underdogs.

I'm not saying the stewards aren't annoying, although the lets all do the stewards song is fun, they are annoying, and they do it because of the restricted views at the back of the SL and MHL tiers and a £35 standing ticket would be fine, but they won't do that because it reduces revenue and I'm not saying it's a stupid idea if implemented properly, I'm just stating that it's not going to happen or work at the Bridge. I'm 6 foot 4 and well built, I'm not a small person and the seat behind me has never bothered me. The Dortmund thing they do looks great but they pay like £12 and if I had one of those massive flags flying in front of my face the whole game and didn't see the match I would be very annoyed! This was from some notes we had: 'A survey raised the issue of the possibility of introducing 'safe standing' to Stamford Bridge. The club view is that government legislation would have to change first, such a move would likely reduce stadium capacity, and feel it unlikely that a majority of Premier League clubs would support such a move.'
-
Yeah, they only post, i suppose bullet points would be the best way to put it, plus we have time to have an informal chat as well. They last for 2-3 hours and condense it down to like 3 or 4 pages.
-
Ok, firstly, I've been to hundreds of Chelsea matches. Secondly the main argument everyone is making is to increase capacity not reduce it, thirdly, I don't want to sit elsewhere, I sing till I can't make another sound so I don't want to sit in silence elsewhere and fourthly for the 3rd time, THE SHED LOWER AND HARDING LOWER STAND ANYWAY!!! And I do know all the complications surrounding Stamford Bridge and the immediate area, I know it inside out.
-
It's not uncomfortable in the slightest! Having fewer people in the stadium will make the biggest difference of all, besides, I don't want to pay £50 for a ticket and not be able to sit down at half time.
-
Yes thanks, Brentford away last year was the most recent, but that was not safe standing and people were running around everywhere. It makes no difference, the seats fold up exactly the same as the safe standing do, just the barriers go higher.
-
We stand in the Shed Lower and Harding Lower anyway!
-
I'm on the fans forum, so I'm privy to a lot of information that 99.9% of fan's won't have access to. It's totally pointless anyway, you all want them installed in the Shed and Harding Lowers, why? They are the only 2 areas of the stadium that do not need improving so it wouldn't do anything.
-
I'll say it again, it won't happen at Chelsea. It would actually reduce the capacity if we did this so where is the benefit? Our singing is fine during big games where we are not expected to win with ease, the atmosphere is a victim of our own success and excpectations
-
It's pretty irrelevant for us as we're already at maximum capacity so even if they do it, we'll still only have 41odd thousand supporters in the ground. The stands that want to sing, Harding and Shed stand anyway
-
Good luck, but be warned. Running a supporters club is basically a full time job when it gets bigger.
-
They wont stop until the club assures us he wont be here next season. Rafa keep saying he wants to stay is winding us up further. Cant stand him.
