The path to Stamford Bridge, home to Chelsea Football Club, is easily the creepiest one I've ever taken.
It required walking through a cemetery. An
enormous cemetery. It required a one or two kilometer walk. Through a cemetery. And my friend and I got lost while walking through it. It never seemed to end!
The graves there were
really old. Whoever was buried here mustn't have been dead anymore. It seems they needed some more space, so they broke out.
We could see the edge of Stamford Bridge about midway through the cemetery, so we knew we were going in the right direction. However, we got lost finding the cemetery gates- and there were only two total. Walking around the cemetery was becoming a little freaky.
Finally, we found the entrance to Stamford Bridge!
We got to visit the players' locker room! And all their jerseys were hanging on display! I learned that all the players receive two jerseys per game: one for wearing and one for trading with the other team. Also, the players are all assigned to lockers next to someone from their home region, if one exists, so they can communicate with each other. Eventually, I guess they learn to speak English a little better.
We got some really great views of the stadium, too!
