Chelsea's home since 1905, located in affluent Fulham. The stadium is hemmed in by the Fulham Road, residential housing, and a railway line, limiting expansion. Features the famous Matthew Harding Stand named after the late vice-chairman. Plans for a new 60,000 stadium have stalled.

Matthew Harding Stand Lower
Lower Tier
💡 Best atmosphere in the ground. Singing and standing common. Central blocks best. The "Celery" song and bouncing are legendary here.

What Fans Say About Stamford Bridge
The angle is a bit awkward. Had to lean sometimes. Singing section nearby keeps things lively. Neither great nor poor value.
Could see most things. Some moments were hard to track. Decent noise levels. Good participation. Perfect weather for football. Crisp autumn afternoon. Average value for average seats. The Mexican wave went round about 5 times. Good laugh.
Would have been better off watching on TV. Finally got off the waiting list. Stairs to get up here nearly killed me. Rained the whole second half. We were soaked. The winner in the 89th minute - place went absolutely mental. Fans know their songs here. Good stuff.
You can follow the game but don't expect perfection. Fair price, good experience. Wall of noise behind the goal. Intimidating stuff.
The angle makes it hard to judge distances. Stairs to get up here nearly killed me. Happy with the price-to-quality ratio.
