Stamford Bridge is home of Chelsea (The Blues). This was another trip Adrian and I were looking forward too. We parked on a road called Brockleyside and walk down to Stanmore tube station eventually getting off at Fulham Broadway Tube Station. The game ended Chelsea wining 4-3 in a close contest between both teams. Chelsea's goals scored by Lampard (3) and Shevchenko. Leicester's goals were scored by Gareth McAuley, DJ Campbell and Carl Cort. On our way back after being told Fulham Broadway tube station is closed, we had to walk to Earls Court tube station to our return to Stanmore tube station and also to find out that two junctions on the M1 were closed. Brilliant!
Stamford Bridge's oldest stand is their three tiered East Stand opened in 1973. The three other stands, Shed End, West stand and the Matthew Harding Stand have all been re-developed between 1990 and 2001. Stamford Bridge was the biggest club stadium in London until Arsenal taken that record away from them with their new Emirates Stadium housing 60,000 supporters.
