That little corner stand is nuts, apparently was built as it’s on the finish line for the dogs

We're crap for majority of their history until Ken bates started throwing money around. Surprised so many like turn up to watch them back then.
Mate of mine has a couple of seats from there beside his infinity pool in his garden. He did it to remember his wife who passed away due to cancer. They’re still as blue as when they went in.

That terrace must be nearly as big as the one at Charlton, surely?

That’s what I was thinking..it’s huge.
Can literally walk from there to Craven Cottage but they never call it a derby do they?

Different demographic, Chelsea's traditional support was mostly from Wandsworth docks area I believe

Were decent early 70's winning FA Cup and European Cup Winners Cup and losing in the final of the League Cup. All in the space of a couple of years so only a short blast but had top players of the time in Osgood, Hudson, Cooke, Bonetti.
Not forgetting Chopper.

That's why I said majority. Think they've only just gotten past us in terms of league titles after decades of buying success. Pre the Russian and bates they were seen very much as a similar side to west ham.

We are level on 6 ( I think). I can’t see them getting ahead of us in the foreseeable future- they are miles behind Man City , Liverpool & Arsenal
