I was there once. Saw them play ManU to a nil-nil draw. It was the year ManU won the treble. 98? 99 maybe? Somewhere in there.

We went to two places: the Slug and Lettuce and The Fox and Pheasant. I remember because we almost got into a fight with the ManU crowd at Slug, and then got into a fight with some Chelsea people outside of Fox. A great day. Well, except for the match. Kind of dull. But then I was hammered by that point and don't remember much of it.

I hear the sofa so bar is the best place for Chelsea fans on game day. It's the closest pub to the stadium I think. Parking sucks around the whole area, so you best be tubing it.

I was there two years ago and it's one of the greatest experiences in sports I've ever had. I'm not a die hard soccer fan, but I follow enough to know what's going on and who the major players are. It's nothing like going to an NBA, NHL or MLB game and it's about 10x more intense then an NFL stadium.

Fisher have about ten beers in a local pub. Put a visiting club's scarf around your neck. Then walk on foot to a MILLWALL game. Walk on the wild side my friend.

I've been known to do some crazy things in my time, but soliciting the wrath of East End hooligans is not one of them. You are a bolder one than me my friend to risk the Bushwackers. No one likes them, and they don't care.
