We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If it was Amsterdam this year, i'd be able to go as well. The sooner the club have another pre-season in that great city, the better.I am possibly the happiest man alive.We have a pre-season friendly with Vitesse Arnhem on the 9th July.Arnhem is about an hour drive from Amsterdam.http://www.vitesse.nl/wedstrijd/vitesse-chelsea-fc/982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of last seasons pre-season games were announced by the other club weeks before we announced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallySnivy 3 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Won't there be at least one friendly back here in the Bridge? I would love to watch a pre-season friendly here, seeing as how playing against teams never encountered before AT HOME would be epic.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Vitesse eh? Is it because Abramovich is a good friend of the Vitesse owner? Apart from Celtic in 2005? I cant remember the last time we played a friendly at home- but I dont mind the fairly local ones like against Palace at the start of the season.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Excellent! I'm actually in Devon that week so it wouldn't be out of the question to head to Pompey for an away game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Gosh, what a load of Pre-season friendlies. Take note that we are supposed to play BENFICA as well. this is part of the Luiz deal. So apart from the Asian tour, we have Vitesse, Portsmouth, Benfica and probably Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I heard that the Benfica friendly was going to be next season, not 100% though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick eurostar train, then back to the UK the same day.It will be worth it just to see the players smoking weed on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 2 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Rangers fan here. BBC website football rumours quotes Daily Record as saying Chelsea to visit Ibrox on 6th August. Can't find it anywhere else for confirmation but hope it's true. Great to have Chelsea back up here. Great football and great atmosphere. Love it when the Brothers in Blue get together. Rangers / Chelsea connection goes back to founding of Chelsea when Rangers people helped Chelsea get started. The Rangers blue strip and Lion were adopted by Chelsea as a mark of thanks to Rangers. The link between the clubs fell away but then kicked in again in 1971 when we came to The Bridge for the Ron Harris testimonial (I went to that game). Just continued to grow since then. dave30 and eldo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've not heard anything official on it yet - nothing on any of the reputable news sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Stewards on the coaches today seemed to think it was happening. Just a case of waiting for someone to confirm it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 We seem to be having a lot of matches pre season, seems too many. Would love Chelsea to play Rangers again though, we should play them every year. I remember when i did this petition in 2007, got a nice response. May try n print it, send it and see how it goes. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/chelsea-vs-rangers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
