Chelsea FC Stadium Tour

After so many visits to London, I finally got the opportunity to take a trip to Chelsea Football Club's stadium. Chelsea FC, for those who have lived under a cliff, is one of the best teams in the English Premier League and without a doubt the world's most famous football team. Equally famous is "Stamford Bridge", the home of Chelsea FC.

If you are in London, I can highly recommend the Chelsea FC Stadium tour at Stamford Bridge, especially as most of us can no เยี่ยมชมเชลซี to go to games; the cheapest tickets for this much loved team are around £ 100. Even if you're not a football fan (football), it's still worth going just to see the difference in the Chelsea Teams dressing room and with what they give their opponents to switch into.

The stadium (Stamford Bidge) is the most centrally located of all the football clubs in London and is easily accessible by London Bus & tube (Fulham Underground Station). The guided tour cost £ 15 / person, which also includes access to the Chelsea Museum and takes approximately a couple of hours.

You start the tour at the Chelsea Musuem and walk through the press room, Home & Away locker room before entering the stadium through the player tunnel.

The team’s locker room was surprisingly basic. Each closet in the dressing room for the home was hung along with the owner's shirt. Our travel guide opened the closet for "Ballack" and let us take a highlight into it. The cabinets are grouped according to the player's common language.

Then came the moment that for me was the highlight of the visit. You walk out of the player's tunnel onto the pitch to the sound of the roaring crowd. (fantasy of course, it was an empty stadium, but still ...). I had wondered if a tour of an empty stadium (no spectators, no football players) would feel a little, well, empty. But it turned out to be more exciting than the game I had been in last year when Chelsea visited California as part of their US tour.

Next is Aston Villa vs Chelsea as Chelsea travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa for their next Premier League match of the 2010-11 season.

Didier Drogba is unable for tomorrow's match due to fever, but John Terry is available.

Its back to Premier League action after a round of Euro Qualifiers and Chelsea will look to continue their form as they visit Villa Park on Saturday. An away game at Villa Park has never been easy for Chelsea with just one win in the 11 years since Tore Andre Flo and Bjarne Goldbaek got a 3-0 win in March 1999. The only win was in February 2009, Guus Hiddink's first game as manager when Nicolas Anelka scored the lone goal.

Chelsea have won six of their seven matches to lead the Premier League by four points, the biggest gap at the top of the Premier League since 2005, when Chelsea won all seven and led second-placed Charlton by six points. Chelsea have scored 23 goals and given just two, both of them away, one at West Ham and the other at Manchester City. Villa, on the other hand, have not lost a game at home this season. And with ex Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier, they look to be strong for every game. On the other hand, Villa have just won one of their last four in the league with a win over Wolves.

Chelsea will bid back skipper John Terry, who missed the international with a back problem. Frank Lampard can get on the bench after seven game absences. But Alex, Benayoun and Kalou are missing out due to injuries.
