I used to go dog racing at The Bridge before I ever saw Chelsea play a home match. My first real live Chelsea home match was this one, v Sunderland and I was privileged to see The King net a Hat trick. my recollection is that Peter Houseman had three assists. I stood, for the only time ever, under the weird looking stand in the NE corner of the North Stand. My first away match was at age 14 when I saw Chelsea played Fulham at The Cottage in mid-week 12/10/1970 for Stan Browns testimonial, I went with my cousin and his mates from Stockwell.

Hi..Can anyone help? At my first Chelsea game i went to Bobby Tambling was presented with an award either before kick off or half time,guess it was for being chelsea,s all time record goalscorer? The match was 1971/72 i think? May have been Palace or westham? Can anyone remember that presentation and confirm my first ever chelsea game at the Bridge?

Best bet I suppose is to find out when he broke the record and presume the award was given out at a game soon after, one of those you mention.

On a side note, was anyone at the match where they held a long throw competition which Ian Hutchinson won of course, very late 60's early 70's.  I seem to remember they threw the balls from the halfway line towards the North Stand.  May have been Wolves, possibly Arsenal or West Ham.  If it's not any of those it's a match I can't remember going to!

 
1st game I was 11 years old in Oct 1981 and watched us lose away to Rotherham 6-0 , I lived in Sheffield at the time and the news was full of how Chelsea were coming and the massive police presence, it was almost like do not go out if you don't need to such was the reputation of Chelsea at the time. Chelsea arrived with no more than 150-200 fans and they were in great voice...from that point I was hooked. The next game I went to was at the bridge the same season ( now in the Chelsea end)  and watched Rotherham spank us again 4-1, I was still hooked.....I think if memory serves this is still a record us conceding ten with one in reply over a season ?

My first game was when I was around 7 or 8 years old in 2002 and we played Birmingham and beat them 3-0. Those days I would go to matches with my mum who is not a Chelsea fan at all but for safety reasons would go with me to games. Gudjohnsen got 2 and Zola got the other one. How the years have flew past. WOW. And how we massively progressed since then!

Great times that I do still miss because we Knew we were on the verge of something big but still underestimated, the football we played at times was sublime :)

I think you need to watch the video a few times!! We had more than that escorted around the pitch during the game, plus the amount behind the goal.

yeah I was just looking at that, Christ the Grey matter isn't working as well as it should lol

All I can think of was after the final whistle a large group were either kept in or stayed in and that's where my old memory recalls 150-200

 




First game that I can remember at least, I was 6 so there might have been a few I went to when younger,

Worth a watch for the first 20 seconds.

Remember back then there were a lot of fans that got in with cash even if it was      "all ticket " and the money went in the turnstile operators pocket! We were in the home end that day and must of had 3,500 plus at the game.

 
West Ham away 1974, was very young and remember the utter disappointment at seeing that my beloved blues actually playing in RED, on top of that we got mullered 3-0 with Billy Bonds scoring the only hat trick of his career and the few vocal supporters in the Southbank weren't vocal for very long.

 
It was against Reading away in the FA Cup. God knows when it was, I was a child so sometime in the 90's. We won 2-0 if I remember rightly.

It was a little awkward as me and my Dad was in with the Reading fans. When Chelsea scored, my Dad cheered like mad, completely forgetting where he was!
