What a difference a game makes... at the end of 1993, a couple of surprise results lifted the Blues out of mid-table and into the Champions League. Had they lost those matches, the debt-laden club would probably have sunk without trace. Instead, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought them, paid off their debts and spent £200 million on new players. A club on the brink of disaster has turned into one of Europe's strongest. A trip to the stunning Chelsea FC and accompanying Village is well worth it. You can visit the changing rooms, sit on the seat of your favourite player, walk up the players' tunnel and enjoy the small museum of memorabilia, with the ever-growing trophy cabinet. Most matches are all ticketed but it is still fairly easy to gain entrance to matches in the early stages of cup competitions. Otherwise, book well in advance.
