Stamford Bridge

[Easy 10]

Why is there a bit missing from the bottom left corner of the new main stand roof? Looks odd.

Probably some copper in the roof or stanchions.
You know scousers.

About the same as Anfield, which is full of wannabe scousers like yourself, your posts on here are so regularly peppered with scouse phrases that you may as well have an avatar stating how much you wish you had been born in liverpool, unfortunately you werent , and despite your parents allegedly being from liverpool, it just looks so false , almost like you're trying to reinforce whatever flimsy connection you have up there.

.... Nice ground tbh.

I agree with that. Out of all the grounds I've been too that have been 'done up' I think Chelsea's is actually better atmosphere-wise than it used to be. When I first went to Stamford Bridge it had a dog track and even after that had gone the oval shape and the basically open ends meant the atmosphere wasn't a patch on somewhere like White Hart Lane. But the last few times I've been there it's been really rocking, and they've got an extensive selection of songs that put our efforts to shame - plus the singing seems to come from all four stands.

If the Amex is half as good as Stamford Bridge and the Brighton fans half as noisy as the Chelsea ones it'll be brilliant next year.

I first went to Stamford Bridge in the early 70's - it was the game against Man Utd when George Best went awol and Alan Gowling came in. Depending on your perspective it was either a right old dump or full of character. A dog track and stands on stilts that made our Lego stand look like Wembley. There was a good atmosphere though. It does look much better than that now. Last time I went was Zola's first game for Chelsea - it was a still a decent atmosphere.

Hit a very open nerve there did I?

I went in 88 or 89 when we played there in the League after they dipped down for a season. The place was an utter khazi, half of it was derelict and the dogtrack meant you were a mile from the pitch. They just had that vast East stand on its own (the construction of which nearly bankrupted the club), surrounded by shabby cowsheds.

It looks unrecognisable now. Clever how they've integrated that old East stand and basically built the whole stadium from scratch around it.

Possibly a bit late now but you can also change at Clapham and get the overground to west brompton, it's a 10 minute walk through the cemetary. A few pubs near the ground, So bar is one of their main pubs I think (used to be called the brittania) or there's a big pub near fulham broardway

Not really, it just makes me laugh how you try to sell anfield as some kind of atmosphere mecca full of quick witted passionate scousers, anyone who has got the train to an away game at liverpool will be able to dispel that rumour, god knows why you're so keen to do that, i mean it's not like you're a scouser yourself is it ?

Anfield can and does produce one of the best atmospheres going, perhaps not against the smaller clubs like Blackburn, Bolton or Chelsea mind.

For what it's worth, the atmosphere at big games,when we were full, even when our ground was the shithole it was , was twice as good as at big games now, with our shiny new stadium, and shiny new fans.

oh im so wounded by your razor sharp(wannabe) scouse wit, why dont you use the words like "boss" and "la" etc like you do in a lot of your posts , or are you afraid of outing yourself as the wannabe you so clearly are ?

That is more the type of stands there the first time I went to Stamford Bridge.

No context in which they would of been used. I don't want to be anything, half family from Liverpool which I'm proud of, as am the other half Brighton. Thanks for nibbling though.

He was, as they say, a player.

Ahh-that will explain "Football was invent before 1992 lad." which he used in a response to me. Now you tell me he's a plastic whinger!
