I almost subconsciously started this article with the title 'What does Mrs Thatcher mean to you?' such is the reaction to her death – then again, that would have brought up images of some questionable football kits, questionable football, a tatty ground, fences and hooliganism. Such was life at Stamford Bridge in the 1980s that I'm sure Mrs T would've looked on approvingly at the consumer-led drive of the Chelsea Collection, before distancing herself from a seemingly competent team's fall from grace – from sixth spot to relegation in three seasons – ouch.
Back to the original point of this article – what does Chelsea mean to you (other than shelling out £1000 plus per season, whinging about the board/manager/beer/new kit etc, etc).
Deeply personal, and sentimental but all real. In retrospect the bad bits you look on with a sort of fondness, the good bits get better with time – but that's what Chelsea means to me. What's it mean to you?
