‘Back in Blue’ Chelsea FanCast #507 Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Tony Glover to mull over the latest Chelsea news and look back at Chelsea's 1977-78 season.

On the show tonight, we discuss the imminent return of the Premier League and FA Cup. How daft is it, does it matter, will we be watching it and how difficult will it be knowing we can’t be there. In parts two and three we continue our '50 Years of Chelsea' series looking back at the 1977-78 season. Chelsea find themselves back in Division One, but without the main man who got them there, Eddie McCreadie. Just how will they fare without him as they try and re-establish themselves as a force in Division One?

In part four we wrap up with your emails.

'My Chelsea' with Joe Tweedie May 31, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to 'My Chelsea', a Chelsea FanCast series to keep you entertained on a Friday evening while there is no actual football to talk about.

One of the things we’ve always wanted to do is to talk in depth about how all of us on the Chelsea FanCast became Chelsea supporters, what our first match was, our favourite matches and players and our best and worst moments following Chelsea, for some of us over 50 years.

It’s been a roller coaster of glorious unpredictability as Mark Worrall would say and it has most definitely been emotional.

In this episode, Joe Tweedie joins Stamford Chidge to talk about his support of Chelsea including his first game, the 1994 FA Cup Final; his favourite matches and players, all time Chelsea Hero, best and worst Chelsea moments as well as his favourite Chelsea songs!

‘Down, Down, Deeper & Down’ Chelsea FanCast #504 May 11, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Clayton Beerman to ask what would have happened if we'd played Liverpool at the weekend; what now for Stamford Bridge and a look back at the 1974-75 season in our '50 Years of Chelsea' series.

On the show tonight, with Chelsea scheduled to play Liverpool at the weekend in an alternate reality, we ponder how it might have gone, with presumably Liverpool about to be crowned Champions. Also, a couple of emails have come in about the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, or not. Seeing as we are discussing the era when the East stand was redeveloped at much cost, financial and otherwise, it seems pertinent to discuss the modern plight.

In parts two and three we continue our '50 Years of Chelsea' series looking back at the 1974-75 season. The doom and gloom continue as Chelsea, having dispensed with their best players, start poorly, culminating in Dave Sexton, our most successful manager at that point being sacked. Things don’t really improve and it all boils down to a relegation decider at White Hart Lane. What could possibly go wrong? But amidst all the desolation is there a glimmer of hope with Eddie McCreadie’s Blue & White Army?

In part four we wrap up with your emails.

Show notes
