Anyone see the Chelsea "Bromley" flag?

Don't things like this make you sick? A London borough having a supporters club for the other side of London.
I could just about accept a Woolwhich branch of the Gooners for historical reasons but Chelsea Bromley? PAH!!
I wonder if Henry's lot know them?

    To be fair Chelsea have always had good support from Bromley. Well I know 3 Chelsea fans from Bromley.

    Henry can correct me on this but I always thought it went Chelsea, Palace, Charlton, Millwall in that order.

    A guy in his late 40'5/early 50's was cycling through Wilmington this morning in the new Chelsea Tracksuit.

    I nearly ran him over.

    Not on purpose of course.

    There are more Chelsea everywhere now.

    I've been traveling to Ireland with work for a few years now. you never ever saw a Chelsea shirt, scarf or sticker. Now, they are almost as big as Man Yoo.

    sickening.

    Its amazing what a large amount of money and a little success does for the fan base. Over time, they may even get to learn the songs (and sing!). Roy Keane and prawn sarnies spring to mind.

    I'm sure the hoards of rent a fan will soon move on to who ever wins the title this year!

    So what you are saying is that you missed him although you did try your best! Fair enough.

    And 50 years ago we had 50/60k. I'm missing the point here.

    the point being everyone's moaning about there being more chelsea fans about but that's what happens when a club achieve success , our relative success has seen the numbers swell at the valley

    Well my original point was about a branch of Chelsea's fan club being nearer to us than to Stamford Bridge. It just gets my back up. Like when I see loads of Dads and kids at Eltham station when I come home in the evening, in their Chelsea strips going to an evening game. Always more than Arsenal.

    I know that was said in jest, but they already have....

    Travelling back from the Carling Cup game last season, the train was full of the bu**ers in their replica kit. Loads got off at Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham and Sittingbourne, with plenty more going even further down the line.....

    Medders is correct I was on same last train home from Victoria packed full of Chelsea, funnily enough that train got diverted & I seem to remember it slowly travelling past the Valley just to rub their noses in it that night. See plenty of chelsea fans at Sittingbourne station on a Saturday morning as well.

    the only time you see chelsea fans in wimbledon is when they're passing through to get the district line to the game...i saw just one on the station when i left to come to the game on saturday...it seems to be mostly afc wimbledon and fulham and antipodean rugby fans and eastern europeans...
