the wes 7,212 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Chelsea playerswere booed by their own fans after the club's refusal to allow them tosign autographs due to safety concerns at an open day.Accordingto a report in the Independent, over 8,000 Chelsea supporters turned upto watch an open training session at Stamford Bridge.However, they were left disappointed when the crowd was told by an announcer that none of the players would be singing anything.Theannouncement reportedly spoiled what had been a positive atmosphere asthe fans watched their favourite players put through their paces.Englandmidfielder Joe Cole was awarded a particularly warm reception as hecompleted his first training session on return from injury.Cole has not played since January when he ruptured cruciate ligaments against Southend in the FA Cup.Chelsea take on Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the Premier League.Colewill be unavailable but otherwise manager Carlo Ancelotti has afully-fit squad from which to choose from, with only Alex (groin) andNicolas Anelka (toe) slight doubts.expressbuzz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseagirlkate 1 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 That was one of the best day's of my life! The training was pretty boring but I waited outside the ground for about 3 hours after the training and I met 10 of the players: Terry, Lamps, Drogba, J.Cole and A.Cole, Turnball, Riccy, Paulo, Deco and Bosingwa! bloody brillant took them ages to come out because they were eating in the restaurant but loads of us stayed outside shouting for them to come out. Terry was the first out as usual, but there was so much pushing, which is expected. Overall a fantastic day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 But to be fair seems never a guarntee about getting autographs etc.Mean went to the Star on a stool do dah last night and a few did get somes bit signed but the speed security took them out you were lucky if you did get anything signed and some did moan but in the letter did say it was not intended to meet them etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah i hung around after the Coventry game last season and got a few autographs, the players try and get through as many as they can but they are limited to time.My other autographs have come from megastore signings, there's always gonna be plenty of opportunities to meet the players.

Ray. 217 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think it's just the luck of the draw and which players are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
