Right Result Today!!

Firstly lets get the bouquets out for a really special person who during her lunch hour today went off to Stamford Bridge and got me a ticket for the Champions League game against Porto at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday March 6th.

With my season ticket in hand she was politely told that due to the demands of UEFA, my seat was not available and that I would have to move to a different part of the ground.

Taking no regard to calling me before purchasing said ticket she opted for the 'Shed End Upper tier' without hesitation. When she called me after she had my ticket in her hand, my immediate reaction was YES!!!

Back in the SHED!!! The Shed where I had spent most of my life supporting the Blue Boys and now I am going to back in the SHED (albeit in its all-seater form) cheering on the boys for an extremely important 2nd Leg of the Champions League round of the last 16.

Why get so excited you may ask? Well practically the 'Shed End' isn't open to season ticket holders!!!

And the 'Shed End' should be the home of Chelsea fans ALL Chelsea fans and not be part of the away end for visiting fans!!

Now this is where it gets good. Many unofficial fan sites have been calling for the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge to be increased to a level where the opposition team basically 'shits' themselves for the duration of the time they are on the pitch.

One of the ideas that have been circulated amongst fans who want to sing, chant and basically get on the nerves of the 'JCLs' (Johnny Come Latelys) and the 'Plastics' is to buy their tickets in the first instance for the Shed End LOwer and the Shed End Upper.

Chelsea do have the 'hardcore' in the Matthew Harding Stand, which is the stand that houses season ticket holders and singers primarily, but by orchestrating this campaign to get 'singers' in the Shed, can only do wonders for building and sustaining a match atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, just like the old days (crowds of 8,000 LOL).

So be warned. Any reader that is going to the Porto game and is seated in the 'Shed End Upper or Lower' that does not sing or chant is a PLASTIC, JCL and you will feel my wrath on this blog until the day you die and go to hell!!!!!
