Do you remember the old shack (that’s the only way to describe it) that doubled as a ticket office and merchandise shop? I turned up there one day to buy some tickets (a very rare event in those days of pay on the turnstile) and Duncan was in there, new fag on, old one still hot in the ashtray, chatting up the girls in the office. He looked totally disgusted that they had to take their attention off him for a minute to sell me three tickets and a mug.

Even back then I thought to myself, chain smoker, that explains a lot!

And Duncan McKenzie jumping over mini's when he was at Leeds. I remember when we lost 3-1 against Spurs in 78 Duncan McKenzie doing a lovely chip and Tommy Langley scoring a bicycle kick. Problem was I was in the Northstand my older brother insisting we went in there as he was paying me in and he said our mum would have gone mad if we'd split up. Absolute bollocks of course I'd been to Chelsea on my own and with my mates several times before I was 12 in 1978. Comfortably the worst day I've ever had supporting Chelsea I had to stand still when Langley scored and do a sort of little jump when they scored again instructed by elder brother who still reminds me of it today

The only game I ever watched from the North Stand was the famous Clive Walker game vs Bolton. No problem that day because we were top right (facing the pitch) and the Bolton fan were way over to the left and there were only 17,000 there that day, hardly any of them Bolton.

Fucking hell !!! I was in the North Stand that day too.  Bolton very happy at 2-0 and we were going to bugger off to the pub.......Enter Clive Flasher Walker. At the final whistle you'd have thought we won the Champions League !! That's the Chelsea I love and want to remember

You weren’t up from Southampton with your girlfriend that you had just got engaged to were you?

We were in North Stand because we were late so we dived in there rather than walk round to The Shed. That meant it was a bunch of new people around us that we didn’t know. Got chatting to those two and made a nice afternoon of it.

By the way, we were three down when Walker came on to spark the miracle come back. I remember we had been singing for him to come on the whole second half. The place went wild when was finally brought on with less than 20 minutes to go. The rest is history. The ref said afterward that, despite having reffed in front of 100,000 at Wembley, that was the loudest noice he ever heard in a football ground.

No thank God I wasn't the one who got engaged I still tell people about the atmosphere after that game.A old damp miserable day, freezing our bollox off, 0-3 playing like shite... Then the "miracle of Stamford Bridge" happened. I have never ever ever seen a Chelsea team do anything like it since. Bolton were shell-shocked at the final whistle

Will the brick columns create shadows on the pitch while playing in the daytime? Anybody noted it in the last match against Newcastle. It makes so annoying to watch on TV.

Not sure if the news is good or bad

[Special Juan 27,423]

It probably means we could up the bid for Sarri by 50k

Chelsea put plans for new Stamford Bridge stadium on hold

Lets go crazy now in the transfer market !!!

This is bad news. It feels like this could be the start of the end of Ronans Reign. Fuck life.

[LAM09 6,744]

Bad. We are the only big club in Europe really with a small sized stadium, and the more you delay, the harder it is to get the job done.

It was supposedly the reason we weren't spending much, but it could have a more significant meaning. Roman's personal issues will certainly have a negative effect.

[Fulham Broadway 16,831]

Thank fuck for that  We don't need a new ground with the current tv deals.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

How many of you are Willing to bet by before the end of 2018.

Chelsea would have been sold to Another Billionaire.

You are relieved? That ground looks awesome. It would have been brilliant. This is the first time we have not seen Romab fully commited to the club since his arrival.
