English: Fulham: Stamford Bridge stadium I am given to understand that this venue is something to do with a football competition called the Premiership ;-) I wonder how many people realise that Chelsea FC's ground is actually in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, not in the London Borough of Chelsea and Kensington. Anyway the club was founded in 1905 and has always used this venue, which was previously an athletics ground, and continued to be for the early years of the club's life. The Ordnance Survey maps of 1920 and 1938 show a vast bowl with the only covered stand along the railway line running along the north-east side (the opposite one to this current west Stand). On 12 October 1935 the club played Arsenal in a Division One match here that attracted 82,905 spectators, a record for the stadium. The result? 1-1.
