Route to the Stadium

Entering the Stadium

Due to the number of checks that are carried out, the time taken to enter stadiums is generally increasing so we recommend supporters make their way to the stadium in good time. Late arrivals will inevitably be required to queue and there is no guarantee they will see the start of the match.

Turnstiles are located at the perimeter where police and stewards will conduct ticket and ID checks, so please remember to bring your passport.

NB The police have advised that any supporter who is intoxicated will be prevented from entering the stadium.

Chelsea FC supporters will be seated in the western end of the South Stand.

Fan Behaviour

Chelsea supporters are asked to cooperate with the authorities, especially in relation to the entry procedures. Anti-social, noisy behaviour fuelled by excessive drinking may result in admission to the stadium being refused.

Chelsea is a club that actively celebrates our diversity. As supporters, we ask that you share our vision of a club and a game free from discrimination that is open to all.

While the players and staff appreciate passionate and vocal support at our matches, there have been instances where supporters have used unacceptable, offensive and discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated. Please be respectful to our hosts and the local community by not using language or actions which may inflame local and current regional sensitivities. This includes any sectarian chanting, slogans or banners.

Racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, sectarianism or any language or actions viewed as discriminatory will result in the strongest possible actions which may include banning, arrest and prosecution.

This includes on public transport and in other public venues before and after the game.
Fans can report such behaviour to club stewards or by contacting the below reporting hotline.

You can call 020 7386 3355

If you hear it, report it.
