ABOUT YOU:
Your name?
David ‘Chidge’ Chidgey
Your age?
43
How many years you have followed Chelsea?
Casually since 1976, Actively since 1986, Obsessively since 1996!
Whats the best part about being a Chelsea Fan?
The bond between Chelsea Fans built around ‘Glorious Unpredictability’, our somewhat unique sense of humour and the countless number of songs we have
Whats your match day routine?
Malt House Pub to meet my fellow Chelsea FanCast boys Mart, Big Phil, The Blues Brothers – Chris and Stu, Chel Tel, Paul and Ross. Burger washed down with plenty of Guinness, say hello to mates in the Malt House – a few sly fags in the garden, a few pints bought by fans of the show. Wander up to the CFCUK stall – quick gossip with Mark Worrall and Dave ‘Hurry up it’s only a pound’ Johnstone, final sing song in the So Bar, buy match day programme and then into Gate 17. Afterwards a pint or two in the Imperial or record the Chelsea FanCast in Putney!
Do you have any Superstitions?
Too many to mention probably, or remember!
THE GAMES:
Whats your favourite game ever?
The 4-2 cup win against Liverpool in 1996/7 – the dawning of a new era!
Whats the best game you have ever been to?
Tough to choose between the 4-2 v Barcelona or the 4-4 against Liverpool last season
Whats the best atmosphere you've witnessed?
Probably the 4-4 against Liverpool, but possibly the 2-1 loss against Barcelona when Del Horno got sent off.

Hull last season – a mixture of apathy, resignation and animosity

Fulham – love taking the piss out of them, and let’s face it it’s nearly in Chelsea!
