Hello from Perth, Australia!

[Raven8er]

Hi everyone! As the title says, I'm from Perth, Australia. Have already seen a few fellow Australians on the forum which is good to see =)

I've been a Chelsea supporter for as long as I can remember, I first fell in love with Chelsea whilst watching the highlights from the weekends games on SBS as that was the best coverage Australia had at the time...

I was fortunate enough to visit the Bridge this time last year and the tour was without a doubt the highlight of the trip, unfortunately, it was at the end of the season...

I am however visiting London for a week at the end of April and I'm hoping to catch a game. We play the Spuds on the 30th of April and I understand that tickets will be hard to come by as the ticket system (as I understand) works on a loyalty basis so if anyone has any info on helping out with getting a ticket would be great!

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, abasaloutly loved Perth (and the whole of the west) in my time there, really a beautiful and tranquil city.... But your still going to get your asses handed to you in the Ashes this week

Welcome to the Shed! If you're stuck for tickets hang around Fulham Broadway, but don't tell Roman.

Welcome to the forum Raven! I'm from Melbourne myself.

I remember the old EPL highlights show on SBS at 7:30pm on Monday nights years ago. I think it stopped they stopped airing the highlights on SBS at the end of 2003-2004 and Fox Sports has taken over the coverage of all EPL matches since then.

Dating back to pre-SBS days the only way to find out about football-related news was through the radio when scores were updated every weekend so we've come a long way since then.

Anyway stay active on the forum!
