⚽ Chelsea FC - Stamford Bridge Stadium Tour - Football Soccer Travel Ideas

Hi guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and on today's show

i'm here at stamford bridge the famous home

of chelsea football club

one of the oldest stadiums in the country and technically the national

stadium before wembley was invented stamford bridge is home to the famous

chelsea football club the blues the pensioners the pride of

london this stadium holds 41 837

but you'd be forgiven for thinking that it holds significantly more

so when you come towards the stadium i'm here outside the britannia gates

it looks as big and imposing as it does on the tv

especially here at the west stand there's plenty of things to see

such as this cool banner and be sure to check out the main statue

on the west stand yes this is the giant statue of one of the greatest heroes

mr pete osgood anyway to start the tour you'll need to go

to your left and towards the stadium tours and museum building

right here now you could buy tickets on the day but i highly recommend that you

pre-book once you pick up your tickets you get a

cool photo opportunity with two european cups let's see how

these look at oh my god i've grown a good

seriously is that how i look go through the circular tunnel

and up the lift and you'll come out into the chelsea museum

where it was pretty obvious that i'm wearing the wrong color

what's wrong with this honestly it was light-hearted banter

but there's this one lady right here who obviously didn't approve of my choice of

garments oh well moving on it's actually quite an

expansive museum there's plenty of things to see such as

this scale model of stamford bridge when it was originally built stafford

bridge in its current configuration there's even a model of what stanford

bridge is going to look like in the future huh that's an interesting

design the best part of the museum is actually

looking at the amount of silverware that they've won

so their five premier league trophies which is still eight shorts of

manchester united's and their eight fa cups which is still

six shorts of arsenal's no disrespect but still a

pretty good haul trophies that i've never even heard of i

mean what's this thing here international champions cup huh that's a

funny looking cup have a look at the wall of shirts and

it's easy to forget that they've had some amazing kits over the years

they've even got a video presentation wall

the tour actually starts in the museum one of the more unique things that i've

never come across is that here you get photo opportunities

with match worn items so here's mason mount game war england

shirt which is kind of cool you get a short talk

about the champions league winning season in 2012 so here's the cup

and here are all the game-worn shirts and boots which makes an

awesome display you also get a talk about various things that you may have

missed whilst walking around yourself such as the fact that chelsea originally

wore teal not royal blue and the fact that chelsea traditionally

attracts celebrity fans boy she was a bonnie girl back in the

day after a short talk about the future of chelsea football club

it's now time to go down the stairs out of the building

and into the matthew harding stand where you'll go by flight of steps

and actually look at the stadium for the first time

now the sight lines here are actually pretty good but

for some reason you don't stay here an awful lot in fact

we're moving already so if you are going to take photos and videos

especially if you want to take it from the matthew harding stand be very quick

about it but whilst walking towards the middle of

the stadium you can appreciate the fact that

this stadium has some pretty damn good views

and yes they put the green dots there because of covid

now for some reason we don't stay here for very long in the middle of the pitch

either so i think there's something that he's leading us to

but if you're quick enough you can get all the photos and videos you can

just from the short walk between the matthew harding stan and the middle of

the field anyway down the steps you go and into

the press room traditionally this is where all the

press conferences happen but because of kovid

they've actually repurposed this to be the player's massage

area but this doesn't detract from the fact that this

is actually a cool room and when things return to normal i'm sure it'll be a

press room again you even get photo opportunities with

you sitting in the press conference area thanks dude after you've done that it's

time to walk into the player interview area

which believe it or not is a lot smaller than you think it is

next up is the home changing room and boy

is this how big it is it's massive this is bigger than two changing rooms

put together i mean even the warm up area is massive

seriously the camera angle here really doesn't do it justice

it's pretty palatial in here once you walk into the dressing room

feel free to take lots of pictures of all the shirts that are hanging on the

wall and check out chelsea's new kit for this

season i've seen better ones and yes i am

laughing hysterically behind my mask at this guy

this is a very nicely presented dressing room and pay attention to the tour guide

because he tells you some very interesting facts about this place

so after checking out the shower facilities it's now time to go into the

players tunnel and walk out onto the field to the tune

of chelsea's walk-on music

so

and by the way don't forget to wave at the camera because

20 seconds later it appears on the big screen

just like this guy check out this loser right here

future in here you're halfway through the video and let me tell you about the

upcoming competition to win this chelsea goodie bag

that i bought at the chelsea club shop stick around until the end of the video

to find out more but in the meantime back to the tour so the views from the

middle of the field are actually quite incredible

you get to sit in the chelsea dugout or the away teams dugout if you want to

and i'm tempted to run into the middle of the field not because i want to touch

the grass but because it's blazing hot today seriously it's like 35

degrees celsius out there and it is boiling

but anyway there's plenty of cool stuff to see whilst you're down here

be sure to check out some of the cool signs and some of the interesting

banners and this is a good opportunity to ask

your tour guide questions speaking of tour guides let me introduce

you to len len has been a proud servant of chassis

football club for over 21 years and he was an excellent tour guide

not only was he incredibly knowledgeable but we had a few bits of banter along

the way straightforward black and white that's

it no don't can't do many jokes because obviously

this will be online in around the world and i've been here 21 years old

guy and then i lose my job because clever guy

they did want to use old trafford but they said it's just a little bit too far

if you do get len as part of your tour honest to god you're going to have a

fantastic time so anyway let's walk out of the sun

because we're all kind of dying here it really is that hot out here today and

we walk up one of the corners where the away

fans generally sit to be honest if you're an away fan and

you sit here it's a pretty damn good view

i mean look at that i'm actually relieved to be out of the sun a little

bit here and len actually gives us a little bit

of a talk about the various london rivalries

you also get to find out a little bit about their premier league winning

seasons and you get to learn about the history

of the evolution of the chelsea badge which from a graphic design point of

view i think they have one of the best logos

in all the football but anyway no time to admire that because

you then step out into the shed end this is where all the fanatical chelsea

supporters sit i can imagine that it gets pretty loud

here you get to learn some interesting facts about the stadium here

and various photo opportunities it's hard to imagine that this place only

holds 41 000 because it looks significantly

bigger than that ask whatever questions you need to ask

because after that it's pretty much the end of your tour

they'll lead you down the stairs and out of the exits while you'll come

across the chelsea shop

hey how's it going all right

now the chelsea shop is actually pretty damn cool

they've got lots of shirts for you to buy if you're interested in that sort of

thing and one of the cool things that the shop

has is that it has replicas of the trophies that they've won

seriously they should include this in more shops but

this is the only one i've seen it in look at that display it's pretty damn

awesome but before you go i highly recommend

that you take a walk around the stadium you'll see some interesting cool things

like the shed wall which is kind of like a hall of fame

with all of their greatest players didi drogba ron chopper harris

boy he was a hell of a player and let's see who we've got over here

oh it's a former arsenal player right check out the hotel and the sports bar

and grill located on one side of the stadium

and you can check out the player and match officials entrances

as well chelsea health club and spa they have one of those here oh my god

they do it's right on site boy this place has

everything okay nin i'm sold what do i need to do

well you need to come here to stamford bridge it's situated in the

fulham district of london yes fulham not chelsea and the easiest

way to get here is to actually use fulham broadway tube station

if you get out of here stanford bridge is literally a two minute walk down the

street you can take buses and also drive here

but if you do drive here there's no free parking so bear that in mind

if you are in a car the cost to do the tours

well the top actually is reasonably priced

it's 21 pounds but i decided to get the extended classic tour

which was 26.25 or something like that i highly recommend that for the extra

five pounds you actually get the classic tour

is there anything else i need to know yes the classic tour only runs once a

day at 10 past three other tours are available throughout the

day so that's not too bad there's a security guy over there

picking it very suspiciously as if to say well

i've just literally been kicked out of stamford bridge not because i've done

anything wrong of course but just had some overzealous security guard

future in here i actually mouth off quite significantly in this part of the

video in short an overzealous security guard

approached me we had this conversation now i was only

recording this section against the wall so i'm not entirely sure what his

problem was i didn't kick up a fuss hence why i'm looking so cheesed off in

this part of the video and you might be saying well rules are

rules but i actually asked these two kind security guards if i could do this

before i actually started so it's not as if i didn't ask so i'm

not entirely sure what that guy's problem was

but it's resulted in some serious downgrade points

so where does this rank in the hierarchy of stadium tours it should be higher

but it's not it only takes one person to ruin your day

but overall him aside i actually had a fantastic time here

if you do do the tour i still highly recommend it

and if you do get len as your tour guide you're in for a fantastic time

so it's competition time and i'm giving you the chance to win

this goodie bag comprising of a chelsea shirt of your choice in your size
