Chelsea FC fixtures

Visit Stamford Bridge on a day when Chelsea are in full flow and you'll experience one of the most spine-tingling sensations in European football. You only have to approach the stadium on a match day to feel your adrenalin starting to pump and inside you'll find an atmosphere few grounds can match - a sense of tradition with a real contemporary buzz.

Although the famous old Shed End has long since been redeveloped, the Chelsea faithful are still amongst the noisiest around and you can feel the passion of the crowd, particularly during a London derby or against one of the other 'Big Four', despite having a capacity of just over 42,000.

The facilities available in and around the stadium have developed enormously in recent years – to the extent that there is now even a Marco Pierre White restaurant inside the ground and Frankie's Sports Bar – run by White and jockey Frankie Detorri – just outside.

But it's on the pitch that Chelsea generate the most excitement. Once famous simply for bringing in foreign players, Chelsea now have some of England's finest talents in the team – the likes of Lampard, Ashley and Joe Cole and others amongst them.

The surprising signing of Manchester City's startlingly talented Daniel Sturridge is a beguiling prospect; he could have the impact on Chelsea and England that Theo Walcott did at Arsenal. And then, of course, there are some of world football's best-known names – Ballack, Anelka, Drogba and more. What a mouth-watering combination.
