Stamford Bridge has been the home of Chelsea FC since 1905
The ground when i first started coming to Chelsea also had a Greyhound track around the perimeter of the pitch and because of that you had to stand so far from the pitch.
My Dad, when he use to take me , made a box for me to stand on, when standing on it I use to tower over everybody at the Shed End without it I would never of seen a thing.
In 10 Years I just cant believe the transformation of the ground, what with the Shed Umbro Familly Stand, the Matthew Harding Stand and the new West Stand soon to be completed, and the Chelsea Village complex you sense the club is finally in the "Big Time"
If you would of told me 10 Years ago that Chelsea would win 4 Trophys, a team of 11 Internationals from all over Europe, 2 World Cup winners, one voted by FIFA as the Best Defender In The World-Marcel Desailly and also to qualify for Champions League, I would of said that you need your head examined but unbelievably "It's all True"
Once the West Stand is completed, our capacity will be increased to 40,000, allowing even more supporters into the stadium to see Europe and the World's best players performing their stuff on Chelsea's hallowed turf.
