Chelsea - Everton @ Stamford Bridge

Jon watched his first live Everton match at Stamford Bridge, and it was an exciting and entertaining night, both on and off the pitch.










We weren't able to get tickets with the Everton away fans, and ended up sitting with Chelsea home fans. It was fairly entertaining hearing the fans jeer at the players and the referee. They were making snide remarks about the Everton players. Like when one player fell and was down on the ground, someone shouted "make sure he doesn't steal the pitch!!!".










But being in the home side meant that Jon couldn't cheer freely. So when there was a call that the Chelsea fans weren't happy with and were standing and shouting "boo!", Jon would secretly go "woo!!" =)










Chelsea scored first, and I was hoping Everton would score for Jon's sake.

And then they did!!

AND THEN....

Jon stood up and cheered...

....and suddenly realised he was cheering alone and everyone else sitting around him was quiet...

then he quietly sat down...

From his point of view he saw the goal, then he saw the Everton fans standing and cheering and followed suit, forgetting he was surrounded by a sea of Chelsea fans. He was just so excited and couldn't help himself! :)

Less than five minutes later a steward came by and asked Jon rhetorically, "Sir, would you like to follow me please". Jon went..and never came back! I SMSed him to find out what was going on only to find out he'd been thrown out of the stadium hahahahaa...It is funny :) I had thought maybe he was escorted to the Everton side, but instead he was escorted right out of the stadium. Apparently the steward told him that they could not guarantee his safety, and that there were thousands of Chelsea fans out to get him. He couldn't stand at the back, he couldn't go to the Everton side, he had to leave. Period.

In a way it was good cos he left when Everton was on a roll cos the match ended with Chelsea scoring yet another goal in extra time. Final score Chelsea 2, Everton 1.
