 ‘Back in Blue’ Chelsea FanCast #507 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:27:45

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.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:10:17

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 Absentia' Chelsea FanCast #502 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:43:05

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Tim Rolls, author of Diamonds, Dynamos and Devils’ and ‘Stamford Bridge is Falling Down’ to chew the fat over the latest Chelsea news and look back at the 1972-73 season in '50 Years of Chelsea' On the show tonight, we praise Chelsea’s latest statement on their response to the Covid-19 pandemic but question the media’s reaction. With the rumour of a return to football behind closed doors starting in late June we ask is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back or will absence have made the heart grow fonder. And Olivier Giroud has purportedly signed a new one-year deal, having almost gone in January. But is the intention for him to stay or is it to increase his re-sale value? In part two and three we continue our '50 Years of Chelsea' series looking back at the 1972-73 season. For many this marks the beginning of the end of the Kings of the Kings Road side. Having made a great start to the league campaign, we finished a disappointing 12th as the title challenge fizzled out after a woeful winter period which also saw us getting knocked out in the semi-finals of the League Cup and quarter finals of the FA Cup. In part four we wrap up with your emails. If you enjoyed the discussion about the 1972/73 season, covered in Tim's book, 'Stamford Bridge Is Falling Down' we have a 48 hr special Fancast offer, where the paperback is available through eBay for just £13 inc UK postage. Tim will sign the copy with a dedication too. Link here: http://ebay.us/tdEm5X?cmpnId=5338273189  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to a very special two part Chelsea FanCast to celebrate and complement our 500th episode recorded on Monday this week. Given that we couldn’t get everyone who has contributed to 500 episodes on Monday's live show, we thought the next best thing would be to have a chat with some of the well loved contributors and get their memories of being part of the early days of the FanCast and their view on the momentous occasion of 500 episodes of Chelsea FanCast. In Chelsea FanCast #500 Special Edition Pt. 2 Stamford Chidge talks to some of the Chelsea FanCast’s favourite guests on the show such as former players Paul Canoville, Kerry Dixon and Jason Cundy; journalists Liam Twomey and Neil ‘Spy’ Barnett, and we doff our hat to the Yanks Beth Wild, formerly the Head of Chelsea in America who helped us spread the FanCast message in the States and the boys from the London is Blue podcast who took us as their inspiration. To wrap up we have a special message from a long lost much loved Chelsea FanCast legend.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
