Chelsea FC
Stamford Bridge
Away Fans
Away fans are located in the South East corner of the Shed End, rather, where the
normal allocation for league games is 3,000 tickets, with fans
located in a portion of the upper tier of the Shed End Stand and the
whole of the lower tier. If Clubs elect to take only 1,500 tickets
then, fans will be located on the East side of the stand in both the
upper and lower tiers. For cup games the whole of the Shed End can
be allocated. The view from this area of the ground is pretty good
and the refreshment areas and concourses were modern and new
looking. There are televisions on the concourses, showing amongst
other things at half time, highlights from the first half. A range
of pies and pasties are on offer, including the
Chicken Balti
Pie (£3) and roll over hot dogs
(£3.50). Alcohol is also available with Heineken & Guinness
on offer at £3.50 a pint. There is also a 'meal deal'
available for a pie and a pint (£6).
On the
whole I found Stamford Bridge a pleasurable day out. There was a
good atmosphere within the ground and even though there wasn't a lot
of space between the home and away fan sections, in didn't feel
intimidating. The stewards were pretty laid back. The only 'hassle'
I had was trying to get through two lines of stewards to gain
entrance to the away turnstiles as they seemed to assume that I was
a Chelsea fan and kept ushering me towards the home end. Only after
showing my ticket for the away section for a third time did I
finally make it inside! I was seated in the upper tier and I found a
little difficult to go up and down the steps of the stand as they
were quite small and there were steps between each row. Considering
that the stand is quite steep then they seemed quite awkward or do
you think it may have been something to do with the few beers that I
had consumed beforehand? |
