Chelsea Training Ground in Cobham
Didier Drogba, the man himself! Apparently we were really lucky that he stopped because normally he doesn't and he was really nice and Ryan said his car smelled nice
David Luiz! We really like him because he can't speak English...hehe
Kalou! Soloman - Salmon kahlua - my new name for him!
Essien was so nice! So adorable also because he was wearing a bow-tie!
Frank the tank!!! Really glad that I got to add his autograph to my collection!
We were so surprised that Ashley Cole stopped and we couldn't help but think about how he shot someone mwahaha
We love Petr Cech!!!! Soft Skull!!!! He turned off his engine to sign autographs and take pictures, who knew celebrities could be so nice :D
Benayoun!!! he does look a tad sick, but also very nice!
Anchovy! I can't believe he stopped!
Nicolas anelka, his license plate says NICO

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI'm Adrian from Poland. First of all, nice success! I dream about sth like that!
And I've a few questions, because me and my friend gonna go to London on summer holidays and we will try to get to Cobham and (I hope) collect autographs. I believe it must be awesome to meet Chelsea players. So... Could you tell me when Chelsea training session usually starts? And have You met them after or before training? How many players didn't stop? And it was morning or evening session?
Maybe do You live in London and in August gonna go to Cobham again? :)
Please reply there or mail me ajez91@gmail.com
Best wishes
Adrian
Hi Adrian!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following. It was really awesome that I got to meet the Chelsea players and a dream come true for me! I was studying abroad in London last semester when I went to go see them during the season.
Since the season hasn't started yet, the schedule or days and times of training might be a little different than when I went.
When I went, the training sessions were usually in the morning/noon. They usually got out between 3-5 when I went. I met after their training sessions, they don't stop when they go in but if they do stop, it's on their way out. Most of the starting team stopped, but it really depends on the day because from the two times I went, different people stopped.
I wish I could go back to Cobham and meet them again, hopefully next time I return to london I can. You can take the train to Cobham from central London, it's walkable to the training ground from the train station but it's a sort of long walk. Just make sure you do your research before going.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
good luck!

hi Steph!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I went to the training ground there were not a lot of people, I think around 8 because I went during the week but the second time I went on a friday and there were a lot more people.
I am not sure if they train everyday. It depends when they have games. But since the season just started, they should be training more! They start training in the late morning - both times that I have gone, they have left after 3pm.
I have been there before they started training but in order for them to stop, it's better after they have finished training.
Hope this hopes and good luck!!
thanks alot~
ReplyDeleteI wanna know how can i get to the training ground from the station? walk along the driveway to the ground? and where should i wait outside the ground
Yea you can walk to the training ground from the station, you will walk along the road and then you'll see the gate. Just wait outside across the street. If you wait on the training ground side, the security guard might come out and tell you to move so just across the road is good.
ReplyDeletegood luck!
