As a big Chelsea fan, I love to travel to watch my beloved Blues. Travelling all over the UK I have visited every single Premier League Stadium so a vast array of knowledge for football away days guide information. I regularly tip a Lucky 15 first goalscorer bet and Acca bet each weekend. We have US followers but I will not be using the term “Soccer”.
