Support Chelsea?
Yes - read on.
No - then naff off.
Ok, my beloved Chelsea cost me a fortune, both in my season ticket and pre-match food. A feast of Spanish Tapas before each game in the Kings Road, Chelsea, at my same table, looking out at those that walk past this vibrant street. It's a nice pre-match meal, with a few Estrella or Mahou beers to wash it down. Then there's the half time beer. There are other costs, of course. Not to mention the travel. Car fuel or trains to the Bridge for all home games as well as many PL away games. And European away game travel (I am in the Euro Away Scheme, meaning I get tickets for every ECL game, guaranteed). Flights and accomodation. Food and drink when away. And then there is the money spent in the Mega Store... it goes on. I'm putting myself off! No, not really, it's worth it.
I grew up at the Bridge and probably doubted we'd ever be where we are today. Yes, I was there when we were s**t (as the away fans keep asking us). We've always been the sexy club, and received lots of jealous barracking over the years, certainly recently. But so what. Now we're where we belong. Back-to-Back titles a few years ago - wonderful. I'm living the dream. We won the double last time out, so we are champions now - 2009/10. And we hold the FA Cup. Again. All those years ago I never thought we'd be up there with the world's best.
