If I were you I would have given my right nut, it doesn't do much

Neither of mine do much at the moment, so they actually just get in the way when I run.

Hate to say this. But left Putney bridge with an awfully sour taste. A couple of African fans were tormented with the white world chants . Sometimes you just wish you werent living with D...s. I hate to say this but if you are not from England, better stay away from our local fans.

I ponder a lot about this. I see myself staying in London and going to SB on a regular basis, eventually. But, I always wonder if I will ever be included in local fan groups and treated as one of them.

If you can ignore the odd prick, you will be fine. My original post was out of sheer irritation. But yeah, you willl come across a lot of us pricks.

Hope no incident tarnishes my experience, when I get to live my wish of watching and celebrating Chelsea live!

As you probably know, Chelsea were a very racist club back in the 70's and 80's but these days things have cleared up a lot and I'm sure you will be fine. I am a Season-ticket holder and there are a whole range of people from various cultural backgrounds who sit near me every week and there is no racist chanting whatsoever apart from the odd 'yiddo' one. If somebody is racist it is likely that both fellow fans and stewards would turn on them and there is a zero tolerance on racism at Stamford Bridge. London is such a diverse city too, more so than it was 40 years ago and especially younger generation fans have grown up around people from different backgrounds.

In terms of 'local fan groups' there are not actually that many people from the local area who go to watch matches on a weekly basis because Stamford Bridge is in a bit of a snobbish upper class area. You get people from all over London and further afield so these days there is not as much of a truly local fanbase. Chelsea supporters are like one big family these days and nobody is bothered what you look like, where you come from etc.

Obviously there are the odd idiots who have not moved with the times but they are in the extreme minority and most other fans do not consider the minority of idiots to be true Chelsea fans.

I was also at the parade yesterday, guys in trees, street vendors selling Arsenal toilet paper, Spurs would have been more appropriate.

that guy is always at the home games. He was at the FA Cup semi final and was making himself a nice tidy profit with all the spurs and chelsea fans in the queue outside the tube station

Thanks for the reassurance mate. I expect nothing less from the Blues fans. :blue scalf:
