This question can be highly emotive and spark arguments amongst fans as there is Except for the occasional FA Cup or League Cup fixture, Chelsea fans are spread across all four stands although the price and availability of tickets across each stand varies. These are the two stands behind the goal. We defended stoutly for 35 minutes, conceded, game over.

Chelsea never really broke sweat and we were chasing shadows, the home side won Great away atmosphere. Stewards very friendly. My friend preferred to wear his pie rather than eat it! Exit: The coach had relocated nearer to the stadium so after we had negotiated the local traffic it was fairly quick.

The obvious connection is that both clubs are London based but their rivalry is more complex than that. It all began with the FA Cup Final before Tottenham, a relegation candidate themselves, played a major role in the Blues relegation in Chelsea came from down to ensure Leicester were named Champions. Chelsea and Arsenal have long been the biggest clubs in London, which brings spice naturally but the hatred intensified in the s as Jose Mourinho took the Blues back to the top of English football.

The controversial transfer of Ashley Cole and Mourinho vs Arsenal Wenger have added further smoke to the fire in recent times. The two were regularly meeting as big clubs but when the Portuguese elevated Chelsea to true elite status.

Off course I was looking forward to visiting Chelsea, as they are recognised as one off the best teams in the country.

Norwich City had just come back into the Premier League and this was our second away game of the season. Realistically were weren't expecting to get three points here, but to enjoy the fun and have a good day out at Stamford Bridge. I had travelled on a private coach and the three hour drive from East Anglia was very easy and comfortable with no hold ups.

Surprisingly the traffic around London was quiet, giving us an easy ride to Stamford Bridge. We had to park a bit of a way from the ground, but the walk wasn't too bad. We were not going to go anywhere before the game, we just were going to buy a programme and go inside. We were told that all Norwich fans were not being allowed into pubs around the stadium, which must have been a bit annoying for all the other Canaries supporters who were looking for a drink.

One good thing is that the home fans were really friendly. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the ground? From a distance the ground was difficult to see, being partly obscured by other buildings including a hotel.

The amount of stewards outside the away supporters entrance was almost unbelieveable, having to go through lines of them to get into the stadium. On each side of the stadium were large three tiered stands, that looked very impressive, whilst the two ends were two tiered. The atmosphere was very poor from the home fans not really finding their voice at all.

The leg room between the seats was very tight. The stewards were continuously trying to get us to sit down but we could not see, so we had to keep standing up.

As for the game itself, well Chelsea got off to a flyer with a fantastic strike from just outside the penalty area by Jose Bosingwa. In the second half Norwich equalised, through a great goal by Grant Holt, which sent the Norwich fans wild.

But late on Chelsea got a penalty and we were reduced to ten men, with our keeper, John Ruddy receiving a red card. Lampard converted the penalty to make it to the home side. Chelsea grabbed a third late in injury time to seal the win. It was a walk back up to the coaches, with s few Chelsea fans rubbing it in.

A Police escort meant that we were soon on our way back to Norfolk. The day had been brilliant, the atmosphere from the away fans was excellent and we were very unlucky not to get anything from the game. But there is always next season hopefully!

The whole of my family support Chelsea apart from me that is They keep saying how good the stadium is. We travelled to the ground by Tube from South London. Got off at Fulham Broadway. Short walk to the stadium, just followed the crowds. Great pub with the usual menu and drinks that you see in a Wetherspoons.

We also stopped just out side Earls Court Station for a couple. Pub directly opposite the station and full of away fans called the Courtfield. The ground looked very nice as we got close. We were searched on entering and made our way to the upper tier. Great view of the stadium for away fans and very good seating. There 3, Hammers fans in attendance for the game. Great atmosphere with all the away fans singing for most of the game.

Not the best move for Frank Lampard to celebrate his goal in front of the West Ham fans. Very easy to get away from the game after the match. Got tube from Fulham Broadway. Was a bit of a queue after the game but what you would expect for a football match.

My overall thoughts for the day were very good. Had a great day at Chelsea and look forward to visiting again. I was looking forward to it as it was a weekend away down in London with with family and the match too. Plus it was another ground never visited before, a stadium with history and passionate supporters. Another London club to have ticked off.

The journey only took an hour. We were planning on parking at Earls Court, it's a huge venue for a multitude of things but there's no parking there unless there's something on and unfortunately on this day there wasn't!

However after driving around I noticed that street parking was allowed on Sunday and that it was free. It was then a 20 minute walk to the ground from there through the Brompton cemetery. En route to park up we passed several bars which sold food, corner shops, bookies and small supermarkets. There was also restaurants from what seemed like all four corners of the World.

We headed back to the street and had breakfast in one of the pubs very friendly, nice atmosphere and it seemed far enough away from the ground that there was no hassle. Outside the tube station was an excellent stall with old programmes on, the guy was very chatty and had programmes from a variety of teams and events. Outside the ground on a wall was an interesting feature of the history of the club. There was also an excellent club shop and facilities in the surrounding area were brilliant.

Fulham Broadway tube station had a small shopping centre in it and the Sainsbury was handy for a quick munch. The official Chelsea brass band playing outside was an excellent touch. They had plenty of security around the ground, food outlets and on that day a promotion through one of the sponsors which was entertaining many of the kids there.

A nice touch from such a large club. Before the game I noticed there were clowns, entertainers and balloons galore, in various parts of the home end, which was great for the kids. The game was great too. Chelsea took the lead, Everton drew level, then Chelsea made it a 2 — 1 win. It was a nice way for Chelsea to finish the season, but it was a bit of a wet blanket for David Moyes final Everton game in charge.

The away end was dry, no booze even though we'd been handed a voucher for discounted ale up to an hour before kick off! The back two rows of the lower tier, numbered 15 and 16 are right under the overhang of the upper tier and in my opinion were a restricted view.

It was a bit like watching the game through a letter box and thats where we were sat. There were some spare seats were in row 14 so we moved there and the view was better. After the game Chelsea brought out the two European Cups which was nice to see. We left about 45 minutes after the final whistle and walked back to the car through the cemetery with a large contingent of Chelsea fans.

Got back to the car in no time and then once on the A4 the traffic was flowing freely and we were back in Cheshire 3 and a half hours later. That included a stop for a Burger King with John Barnes!

We didn't plan to meet him, he just happened to be there at the services. A great weekend and an excellent visit. The day was all the more enjoyable thanks to the events Chelsea had put on to entertain the fans before kick off.

An easy journey in proper football weather sunny and the game was grand. I was looking forward to going to the match as it was the first game of the new season and Hull City were back in the Premier league. I was really looking forward to seeing how our new signings would cope in the top division. Also it was the "Special ones" return as Chelsea Manager, so I was looking forward to seeing him on the touchlines. However, the last Chelsea game I attended was against Birmingham a few seasons back which I went to as I was in London.

At that game the atmosphere was quite poor so I had mixed emotions of returning to the Bridge. The journey is really easy to Stamford Bridge. I always park at Cockfosters tube station and get a tube into London. The ground is literally a stones throw from Fulham Broadway tube station.

After exiting the station walk out and turn left and it is a five minute walk to the away end. A day travelcard is cheap and it allows you to explore the capital either before or after the match. When a game is in London I always stay over the night before and get up early and go into Central London, to see the sights and grab a bite to eat.

This way you have plenty of time and the day is much more relaxing. I am not a pub goer so didn't really take note of any pubs around Stamford Bridge. However outside Fulham Broadway station there is a shopping mall containing Nandos, Pizza Express, a supermarket and some coffee shops. Upon seeing the ground it is impressive without any major wow factor. There was the Chelsea brass band playing and it was a very relaxed atmosphere.

Me and my girlfriend decided to walk around the full stadium to the away end but other than the Peter Osgood statue there is nothing of particular note. Around the ground there are walls or high barriers so there are no views to admire. The stands seemed steep and fairly well maintained. We were sat in the Shed upper on the back row. Upon entering the ground I was worried about the view since I was so high up but after reaching our seats the view was very good. The steps are steep and very narrow so please take this into account.

In the second half we moved to the front row of the Shed upper and the view here was also very good. The main benefit of sitting on the front row and a little further away from the Chelsea fans were you felt what atmosphere there was much more.

The game itself started very well as a spectacle, Chelsea moved the ball really well and Hull looked way out of their depth allowing Chelsea way to much time and space on the ball.

Chelsea missed a penalty and scored 2 inside of 25 mins and it could have been more. I was fearing a real thrashing but after going two up, Chelsea relaxed and saw the game out.

Hull City came into the game much more without really threatening. After the first 25 minutes the game became a bit of an anti climax. The atmosphere wasn't that great from the Chelsea fans. The Hull City fans created a lot of noise and everyone enjoyed their day out. The stewards were some of the worst I've ever come across. I moved seats as my girlfriend is pregnant and was getting knocked in our original seats. Upon entering the new area I was manhandled and also told "I don't care" when telling one steward my Girlfriend was expecting.

I dread to think what they would have done to a City fan who acted aggressively or swore etc. Eventually the stewards allowed me to explain and they then they allowed me to the new seats as if nothing had happened. A totally unprofessional outfit. I didn't eat inside the ground but the facilities seemed good. There were queues for the toilets. Getting away from the ground was really easy, however I did stay behind for around an hour to get autographs.

By this time the crowd had gone and I walked straight onto the tube and away from the area. Great day out and lovely to see Hull City back in the Premier league. The ground and game were very good and the weather was brilliant.

The only sour note were the CFC stewards who have a lot to learn about communication and how to treat fans in the correct manner. Another first time for me — a visit to one of the 'big club' grounds. What's not to like? We left Christchurch, Dorset at 1. Allowing four hours to travel or so miles seemed generous, but of course this is London — the big car park! There was no parking available at the ground itself, but our organiser had a place lined up about 15 min walk away.

As it turned out we hit big traffic wherever we went and were at a standstill about a mile away from Stamford bridge at 4. All us passengers legged it leaving the driver and co-driver to park the bus. They got to their seats seconds before kick off! All the away fans were handed vouchers on arrival for a free beer, or pie. This was an initiative paid for by Bournemouth to slightly subsidise the overall cost of the trip for Cherries supporters.

The bar was a free-for-all and a bit chaotic, but I had a mate with me who burrowed his way to the front of the throng and soon emerged with two beers. I did think of hiring him out. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Stamford Bridge?

Stamford Bridge is not very visible from the road in the dark, it is surrounded by blocks of flats and other buildings. The single stairway entrance — and exit — to the upper tier felt a bit antiquated, was claustrophobic and seemed to be a bit of a fire hazard. However the seating area itself is a terrific theatre, we were high up but still close to the action due to the steepness of the stands, and had a brilliant all round view. Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

Chelsea were not at their best and the home fans were very quiet, despite being a virtual sell out. This was a shame, because the design of the stadium did generate superb noise on the few occasions they did all let rip.

It was left to us 3, or so away fans to make the game the occasion we expected. Our keeper, Boruc, surprised a few of us with a fantastic performance and the Bournemouth defence has obviously been working hard on the training pitch. We also worried the Chelsea defence on several occasions and their keeper, Courtois, also had a busy day.
