Mate chill yer boots its a handful in the expensive seats up top with the living dead.
It will be full on Satdi,no danger.
I think you're probably right LAHAD, I don't have any fear about us selling out un-televised games on a Saturday at 3 o'clock against a team with a big away following like Wolves. I have my doubts however, that we'll be able to sell out midweek night kick-offs against the likes of Portsmouth and Fulham etc. I suppose time will tell. Chelsea's crowds haven't exactly gone through the roof since they came into money - okay so they pretty much always sell out the Bridge (at 41000) but away from home they're still a little hit and miss.
But Chelsea have never had a big support, they've had to build the extra from nothing. We've got a lot of fans that don't go to games who will be instantly caught up if/when we start winning things. Add the none UK fans that LAHAD mentions and it would only seem prudent to start planning for expansion now
