Away to Chelsea - Sat 5 Feb 12.30pm
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
Many many posts on the Chelsea game. Nothing like taking 1 game at a time. Quite disturbing really with far more important games coming up. Such an obsession with a day out in the smoke which could well be over by half time. The team wouldn't be similarly distracted would it? Wouldnt have anything to do with the worst performance of the season last Saturday? Quite a coincidence!
Well it was a long and tiring 50 mile trip to Brighton.š
They wouldnāt want to do that every other week.
Fifty miles? From Stamford Bridge maybe but Chelsea are based in Surrey. More like 35 miles.
Those 15 miles make all the difference to the joke. You're going to have to re-tell it now, Fawlty.
A 70 mile round trip!?! Cur - iced (Jethro style). No wonder they are so tired. Good job theyāve got a big squad to have a rest every other week.
If Gatwick ever get a Premiership team together maybe they could fly there.
COYGs.
Tickets have sold out a lot faster than I was expecting, 85% of season ticket holders in one day.
I have to say the Chelsea game is like a bonus.
Its a chance to go to a ground lm not been at. A chance to see top level players in live action. Itās ok seeing them on the pitch but to me itās different seeing them in person. When l saw Guillt at HP in a pre season friendly for Chelsea the stature of the man was something to behold.
Its a day out. A break from lower league football.
However, games against Lincoln, Shrewsbury & Rotherham at HP lm more excited about because we are in a mix of teams for a playoff push and excited to see if we can sustain it. Against Chelsea we will hardly see the ball lm guessing. And mostly be trying to keep them out. So itās a totally different game.
l think the Chelsea game highlights an issue with regards to us in the sense of how do you get the casual fans excited in Argyle playing lower league opposition.

Do you expect us to be more excited for Doncaster or Fleetwood away? What is your point exactly?
