Review by Fulham fan Sam Helbert
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
SW6 Derby, especially on Boxing day, was never going to be one to miss.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
District Line to Fulham Broadway, so close to Craven Cottage, if anything commute is quicker to Chelsea as walk from tube is 2 minutes. Very easy.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
We went to the Courtfield Tavern, which is a good pub.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
Took one look at the prices, very expensive.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Cracking away end at Chelsea, especially in the lower tier.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
Home end was poor, we weren’t great in the first half, but very loud in the second half.
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?
6/10.
How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
Very easy and quick!
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
£30 ticket, £15 on beer, £5 transport, £50 overall which is good value.
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Yes, definitely!
Review by Preston North End fan Scott Dixon
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
Never been to Stamford Bridge and wanted to tick it off the list.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
Drove down to Uxbridge and got the Underground in which was nice and cheap.
If you got the train, how easy did you find it to make your way to the stadium from the station?
Very easy, get off at Fulham Broadway and follow the thousands going to the game.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
We went in a few pubs in Earls Court which where great. Atmosphere good too with different fans mixing watching an earlier kick off on a big screen.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
Drink was very good and their selection of food and drink was good enough.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Excellent view – couldn’t have had a better view. Concourse, although small, gave enough room to move about.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
Excellent as always from the Preston fans even in defeat. Chelsea fans were quiet at first until they were winning.
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?
8/10.
How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
It was quite easy but you are thrust into a sea of people and funnelled down side streets until you’re back nearer to a main street.
If you stayed over, where did you stay and was it convenient for getting to the stadium?
Stayed over in the Travel Lodge in Uxbridge. Right next to the Underground station.
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
Hotel £53
Petrol £40ish
Train in and out £10ish
Car park £7.50
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Yes, very much so. Really enjoyed it and would definitely go again.
Review by Southampton fan Mark
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
Easy access to ground, family day out with brother and sons.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
We travelled by train.
If you got the train, how easy did you find it to make your way to the stadium from the station?
I think the train is the best way to get to Stamford Bridge. Fulham Broadway is practically outside the ground and while you have to walk around a little bit to get to the away fans entrance, it is very easy to find.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
The beer on tap was pretty good. Price from memory was around £5.50 a pint. Also had hot dogs inside the ground which were quite tasty.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Great view. Practically behind the goal half way up the stand. Bordered the division with the Chelsea fans but not a problem.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
Good away support. Good laugh when Mount tried to wind up the away fans by warming up close by. Chelsea fans seemed quite quiet.
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?
7/10. A local ginger seemed more intent on watching the away fans than the game and some grandad who should have known better was giving it large, but generally a good atmosphere.
How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
Really easy to get away, especially for away fans wanting to get to Wimbledon from Fulham Broadway. Within 1/2 hour we were in Wimbledon and on a train heading South.
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
Tickets £30. Train £20. Drinks and food inside the stadium £20 – so about £70 each.
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Yes – good allocation, good views and tickets a reasonable price to watch a quality team. We pay £50 to watch an A team at St Mary’s.
