Chelsea Summer USA Tour 2012


 Share

Recommended Posts

I read on twitter that Chelsea is touring USA this summer. Specifically, Seatlle, Washington DC & New York. As a fan from North America I still haven't had a chance to watch Chelsea live and obviously there is on way I'm missing out now. Seattle and DC are too far for me, but I will be going to the New York match for sure.

Any other US fans planning on going? I can meet up with anyone who might be going for the New York match.

I know it's a long ways away, but I'm so excited lol. Let's get in touch if someone wants to tag along with me, I'll be driving from Indiana to New York.

New York will be a blast, strong rumors are pointing to the match being at Yankee Stadium vs Roma. Guessing July 21 or July 22. There will be announcements, I would suggest you join your local supporters club to get the info and access to tickets. That way you can make sure you are sitting in a Chelsea Supporters section.

Hey :) From what I have heard the tour will start in mid-July (after the Euros) but the dates haven't been released yet. Chelsea has a big following in the US and the best place to get information for the tour is through Chelsea in America. The president of the club, Beth, is great at keeping us updated on the tour and there will be sections for the supporters club at each of the games. I will try and make the game in DC but since I will only be in the US for the month of July, I am not sure if it will work out for me. :(

I'll post an update as soon as I hear anything!

The club confirmed at the fan's forum meeting on 25th February that they would be touring the USA

''The summer tour will start on 13/14 July and we are going to Seattle, Washington and New York. We are announcing the opposition in New York in early March. A lot will happen with our sponsor partners while we are there.''

I tried becoming a member on CIA but unfortunately registration is closed. Is there any other way I can tag along with those going from Southern Indiana or thereabouts to New York?

Guys just heard about some of the games scheduled for the US. Chelsea vs PSG looks great.

As I said in the past, I will try to make it to as many as possible.

Here is my e-mail if anyone wants to hook up for the game:

Take care.

Sup, I'm going to go to the New York game for sure. I will try for the Philly one too depending on how my work schedule looks. I am down to meet up with you and any others that go from here. Also you should join CIA (Chelsea in America). Someone on this board recommended them to me and apparently they can be a big help trying to find tickets and relatively cheaper accommodations.

Yankee Stadium bow for Chelsea

Chelsea are set to play the first ever football match at New York's new Yankee Stadium during their US summer tour.

The Bluesspacer.gif will take on Paris St Germainspacer.gif at the home of the New York Yankees baseball team on July 22.

Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009, will hold 54,000 spectators once configured for football.

It will be Chelsea'sspacer.gif first game in New York since 1954 and the second game of their US tour, with the club also announcing their final fixture would be against AC Milanspacer.gif at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on July 28.

They had already confirmed matches against Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field on July 18 and MLS All Stars at PPL Park, Philadelphia, on July 25.

Reunion

But it is the Yankee Stadium date with PSG that will be seen as the most appealing - not least because it brings a reunion with former manager Carlo Ancelotti,spacer.gif now in charge at the French club.

Ex-Chelsea star Claude Makelelespacer.gif is also with PSG as an assistant to Ancelotti, while former defender Alex is on the playing staff.

Chief executive Ron Gourlay told the club's official website: "Chelsea Football Clubspacer.gif is delighted to be heading to New York after such a long time away, and it will be a real pleasure to visit Yankee Stadium for what is sure to be a competitive game.

"Paris St Germain represents a true test for us in our preparations for the new season.

"We know Carlo well and respect the superb job he did for us, and continues to do in France. It should be a fantastic game."

Should be an awesome game.

I will away for vacation. :(

So enjoy it people!
