I had the luck to eventually attend a Chelsea game at their home stadium, Stamford Bridge. Most people think that Chelsea is named after the suburb in which the stadium is situated, but they don’t realise that actually Chelsea Football Stadium is in the suburb of Fulham, so Fulham, which has another side in the Premier League, namely Fulham, actually has two soccer stadiums in the same suburb in London.
The stadium has a wonderful atmosphere, with the stands, as is typical at most football grounds, being much closer to the touchlines than you would find at big multi-purpose stadiums. One of the problems with a multi-purpose stadium is once you toss in the athletics track and everything else, you already put the fans much further away than they should be, and so in a purpose built stadium, just for one sport, you will always have an advantage in that regard. Chelsea beat Reading 4-2 in the game I watched to go top of the table.
