Chelsea FC Supporters Club: Philly Blues

The Philly Blues are pleased to announce we have a new home starting with the 2026/2027 Chelsea Campaign: Cavanaugh’s Rittenhouse - 1913 Sansom St, in Philadelphia. We will be working closely with the staff and management to continue to bring the best match day atmosphere for Chelsea fans in and around the Philly area, and we are all excited by this new opportunity and partnership.

The decision to move was not taken lightly, and change is never easy. We have met with many of our members over the past few months, took in your concerns, feedback and input, and after many discussions among our leadership team, scouting several locations, and weighing all our options, we believe this provides the best opportunity for our supporters club moving forward.

We want to also thank Tir Na Nog, which has been our home for nearly 2 decades, as well as their staff and management, both current, and those who have gone before. Countless memories were made there for our club: from the lows of bitter defeats, to the ultimate highs of watching our Blues lift many a trophy: including our first ever Champions League victory. We are forever grateful.

We look forward to this new chapter for our Supporters Club, and to making new memories together backing the finest football club in the world, Chelsea Football Club..

Up the Blues, and Keep The Blue Flag Flying High!

Deadline is July 17th!

Memberships.chelseafc.com

Sign up or renew your yearly membership or check your emails from Bharat!

Details below/PLEASE READ:
The Philly Blues are a Platinum Level Supporters Club (one of only 32 world wide); what this means is we enjoy higher priority ticket access to Chelsea matches in a very competitive and high demand field. In order to retain our Platinum Level, we need to maintain a certain number of members with a Ticket access membership every season. If you wish to obtain tickets for a Chelsea match this season, you need to have this membership (Note: you and everyone in your party as well must have membership as well). It is the only way to gain ticket access from Chelsea, as its extremely rare that GA tickets become available for matches.

The yearly ticket membership plan starts at £45.00 ($59) for adults.

Once you renew or sign up, send an email to Bharat with your name and your membership number (this allows us to purchase tickets on your behalf, and giving you better access than on your own, as you will be further down the priority list. Bharat has sent an email out to all our Philly Blues members about renewing or signing up, so you may use that link, or you can use the link in our bio. If you are new or are not on our email list (so do not have Bharat's email), please send us a direct message and we help get you set up.

IMPORTANT: Please note that to be added to the Philly Blues - Chelsea Ticket group, you must be a resident of Philadelphia or the surrounding area. If you are joining from beyond the area, Chelsea will remove you from our roster. So, for first time sign ups, when you email your membership number, please also provide the ZIP/City you used when you purchased your membership.

Please reachout with any questions or if you need any help or more information!

Thank you!

FA CUP FINAL WATCH EVENT: IMPORTANT EVENT INFO BELOW! PLEASE READ!

Many of you have already seen Chelsea have promoted our FA Cup Final watch event on their social channels. Now its our turn to give everyone a run down of whats going on.

This is an all-age event; those under-21 will need to be with an adult however

Firstly to all our new followers: Welcome! We saw an influx of new followers since Chelsea posted about this event, especially followers who are in the Delaware Valley and may be hearing about us for the first time. We are Philadelphia's Official Chelsea Supporters Club. We are a Platinum Tier club and have been officially recognized since 2010, though we have existed as a group going back to the mid 90s. We meet for nearly every Chelsea match each season.

About the match day: For our regular match goers, especially anyone who has come for a big match or cup final; it won't be much different. We expect a big crowd, and have already noted with the staff at Tir Na Nog to expect a big crowd, so they can bring in enough staff, but please be patient as it will be a busy day.

The event is being promoted by Chelsea, but hosted and run by us. This is an opportunity for the Club to promote our supporters group. They have recently done colabs with the Chicago, Houston and LA supporters clubs exactly like this one.

During the event, we will be taking photos and shooting video during the match to record the atmosphere, reactions to goals and big moments and celebrations. We will be sending that material to Chelsea's social team in real time who will in turn be processing it and posting it on their feed during the match. We might try to do some quick interviews with supporters to talk about their history with the club. We will try to do this pre-match and around half-time. If you are interested, get in touch with us. Do note by attending you will be videoed and photographed and you may appear on Chelsea's social feed. Also note, even if we do photo or video you, you might not appear on their feed. We want everyone to be authentic and passionate, just know for this, Chelsea has final say on what content will get posted on their side.

We will be in the front half of the bar as usually; the Man City OSC group meet up at the same bar, but will be in the back half. We have plenty of banter back and forth with them, but we do get along with them and it does add to a lively atmosphere.

As for the event itself: We will be getting in around 9am to set up our flags, scarfs and such.

We will start filming and photographing fans arriving and the match build up between 910 and 10am, as well as attempting any supporters interviews.

During match play, we will continue to film to capture reactions to big moments, goals and club chants/songs.

At half time, we are going to gather everyone together either around the bar, or out in the alley in front of the bar for a group photo with our club flags, and for a quick group video.

At the conclusion of the match, we may try to get another group photo, especially if we have some silverware to celebrate.

Lastly, as many have been asking for awhile, we just got a new order of Philly Blues shirts in (like the Club World Cup ones); and we will have them on saturday, as well as club scarfs and pins. We'll have them at the front table.

All in all, we want everyone to have a great time, be passionate, but be respectful too. This is a great opportunity for us as a supporters club to once again show off how Philly brings it and has one of the best Chelsea support in the US. We've had a great relationship with the Club, and its shown as Chelsea has come to Philly for so many events, and we expect many more opportunities in the future.

If you have an questions about saturday or need any information on joining the Philly Blues or assistance with things, please reach out via our DMs on social (we all check these more frequently, so we will see it quicker)

Thanks all!

-The Philly Blues

This Saturday.

Hey all!

No official meet up for Monday’s 10am match. Kind of early for a work day and we know many can’t make it, so not asking the Nog to open early.

We will be meeting bright and early on Saturday for a 730 match up with Liverpool!

A midweek match up against Brighton tomorrow.

3pm kickoff at Tir Na Nog
