I was in Melbourne 2008 when Chelsea met the y*ds in the Carling Cup Final, watched it at the Charles Dickens pub, all y*ds - no Chelsea
Right first of all there were about 25 of us in the pub, 20 of who stood at the bar all night. Maybe you were too p*ssed to notice.
Yes there were 100 or so Spuds there. Some of you were intent on filling us in, but this didn't happened becasue you lot celebrated in the end and we dispersed.
Thereafter, we started to get Melbourne Chelsea organised and the next time we played we outnumbered the Spuds. One of your leaders even wrote on your website "for the first time in years we were outnumbered by the Blue scum"
That happened most times after that and then we both left the Dickens and moved our HQs to different pubs.
On at least 2 occasions that Spurs have outnumbered Chelsea in Melbourne venues, or one of ours has been in your pub with his Spurs mate, a CFC bloke has been threatened. We don't do this when we have the numbers like for the 5-1 semi where we both had to watch in the Dickens.
Some of your members use the OZspurs website to slag us off. One of them is an SBS reporter who called us c*nts on that website. That bloke has had a couple of opportunities to do that to my face and has not done so. But his words stir up the hatred which results in CFC being threatened if they walk into your pub.
So a few of us, all chaps, went into your pub the Imperial the other day before the Spurs Chelsea match was shown. We made ourselves known, asked around for the reporter, then left in time to get ot our pub to watch the game. Nobody laid a finger on us, let alone even looked us in the eye once they knew we were there.
Bunch of cowards Melbourne Spurs. Pick on the bloke alone but not a group of former North Stand types.
We don't really want to bring former hatreds to Oz with us. We get on well with Melbourne Arse and even attend functions with them. They hate CFC but they are decent enough fellas. Same with Celtic actually. We even had 2 tables at their anti-cancer function in memory of Tommy Burns, which is 2 more tables than any other English supporters club here.
