Football packages to Chelsea

About football packages with Chelsea

Chelsea was coming around even before Abramovich bought the club in 2003. Among other things they took home the gold in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup 1997/98 and the FA Cup 1999/2000. But it was only after 2003 that Chelsea really became a great club. With their Champions League victory in 2011/12, Chelsea is now regarded as one of the great clubs in Europe.

You can buy single tickets as well as package trips if you want to see Chelsea play at their home stadium Stamford Bridge. Game tickets aren’t really cheap, however. In fact, Chelsea has the by far most expensive tickets in Premier League. You can buy game tickets on the internet or over the phone (if you are a member of the official Chelsea fan club), but the simplest way is probably to order game tickets in a package together with hotel and flights. Then you won’t have to puzzle together your trip on your own.

The list of merits for Chelsea was pretty unimpressive up until the 2004/05 season. They then took home their second League gold. Since then, the trophy case at Stamford Bridge has been rapidly filled. It is with reliant stars such as John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole that Chelsea has been able to keep the merits flowing during the 2000’s. Chelsea has four League titles, seven wins in the FA Cup, four League Cup titles and one win in Champions League.

Briefly about Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge is one of the absolutely oldest stadiums in England and home to Chelsea FC. Stamford Bridge, or just The Bridge, is a classic stadium that has been known for a plethora of events through the years – musical as well as sports. If you are a fan of Chelsea FC, a visit to The Bridge is highly recommended.

The Stamford Bridge stadium was built in 1877. Initially the stadium was mainly built for athletics, however. It wasn’t until 1905, the year Chelsea FC was founded, that the stadium for the first time was looked upon as a football stadium. Today, Stamford Bridge has a spectator capacity of 41,837 seated visitors. In the 1930’s and for some time thereafter, the capacity was almost double the current one. An attendance record was set in 1935 when 82,905 people came to see Chelsea play Arsenal.

It was on April 28th 1877 that the first sports event was held on Stamford Bridge, and the sport was athletics. In the beginning of the 1900’s the stadium was rebuilt since the plan was for the football club Fulham to move in, but instead the newly formed Chelsea took over the rental contract in 1905. An interesting thing is that Stamford Bridge actually resides in the London neighborhood Fulham.

In the 1960’s and 1970’s, Chelsea made many changes on Stamford Bridge. Among other things it partly rebuilt two standing bleachers to become seated. However, the changes had big consequences on the club’s economy, and in the end it had to sell Stamford Bridge. In 1992 the club regained control of the stadium, but by then it was in a horrid state. Since then, development has moved forward. Between 1994 and 2002 the whole stadium was pretty much completely rebuilt to become a state-of-the-art stadium.

Stamford Bridge lies relatively centrally in London, a few kilometers from the city center. There are many bus lines that connect to the stadium. You can also take the subway to Fulham Broadway (District Line).
