Historically they are the best supported club in London , some of their crowds have been in excess of 80,000.

Have a look at their average crowds between 1946 and 1959.

Up to the year 2000, Chelsea had won the league once, the FA Cup once, the League Cup once and one ECWC.

I got fed up checking the honours lists of Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, Newcastle, Villa in comparison up to the year 2000 etc. Never bothered checking WBA, Derby, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday even Portsmouth because I know their history up to 2000 would outdo The Pensioners. They are the epitome of ‘Johnny Come Lately’s’. Massive crowd fluctuations prove their fans fickleness also, if they revert to type you won’t see the likes of Jeremy Clarkson’s, Jeremy Vine’s, Tim Lovejoy’s (what happened to Watford Tim?) etc arses for dust.
