Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is set for 8.15pm, with gates opening at 6.45pm.

Our hosts have written a useful guide for away fans which can be found here.

Supporters are also reminded that the best way to receive matchday information – including real-time travel updates and advice – is by following the Spurs Matchday Info channel on WhatsApp. Simply click here or search for ‘Spurs Matchday Info’ in your WhatsApp Updates section.

Getting to Stamford Bridge

There is currently expected to be a tube strike from midday on matchday through until the same time the following day. Everyone should therefore plan their journey in advance, which you can do with the help of TfL’s journey planner.

The London Overground is not due to be impacted by the strike, other than being busier than normal. On the Mildmay line between Stratford and Clapham Junction, Imperial Wharf and West Brompton stations are each within a 15-minute walk from the ground.

The Elizabeth Line should also remain unaffected with trains running through Paddington from where supporters can get buses into West London.

If a limited service is running on the District line then the closest tube station is Fulham Broadway which is accessible and only a five-minute walk to the stadium. We’d advise avoiding this route unless the strike is called off completely as the route is likely to suffer from severe delays and significant crowds if a limited service is running.

Those able to get the Elizabeth Line to Paddington can then board the 27 bus to Hammersmith followed by the 211 bus which takes you to within five minutes’ walk of the stadium. The 211 bus runs along a route from Hammersmith Bus Station to Battersea Power Station.

Supporters are strongly advised against driving to Stamford Bridge. Parking in the surrounding area is very limited and often restricted to residents only.

There’s an accessible drop-off and pick-up point situated by the away entrance on Fulham Road by Stamford Gate but supporters should be aware that Fulham Road is closed up to 1.5 hours prior to the match and may take around an hour to re-open post-game.

Other ways to get to the stadium

River boats run on the Thames with the closest pier to Stamford Bridge at Chelsea Harbour which is a 15-minute walk to the stadium. The boat schedule can be checked here.

Those wishing to cycle should be aware that bike storage is available at Stamford Gate. Supporters using rented e-bikes should be prepared for docking stations very near the ground to be full especially close to kick-off.

Entering the stadium

The away section at Stamford Bridge is situated in the lower tier of the Shed End and the away turnstiles are in the south-west corner of stadium. To avoid delays in entering the ground we would recommend arriving no later than 30 minutes prior to kick-off.

On arrival, fans should expect a pre-entry ticket check and a body and bag search before entry.

Supporters aged under 16 will not be permitted without an accompanying adult (18+).

Ticket office

Anyone with ticket issues in advance of matchday should contact ticket.office@tottenhamhotspur.com for assistance.

Supporters needing ticket assistance on matchday should go, with ID, to the main Ticket Office, which is situated in the Shed End (south stand) between the Megastore and Frankie's Sports Bar.

Programmes

The official matchday programme is priced at £4 and is for sale at programme kiosks located around the stadium and the Megastore.

Bag policy

No bags larger than A4 size (30cm x 20cm x 10cm) will be permitted into the stadium and there are no bag storage facilities. Anyone requiring a larger bag for medical reasons can apply for a medical exemption certificate via Chelsea here.

Accessibility

An access guide for disabled supporters can be found here.

Supporters needing to use the accessible toilets at Stamford Bridge will need a RADAR key. If you don’t have your own, speak to a steward to gain access. Stewards can also grant access to the Changing Places facility on request. Designated access stewards will be wearing either a purple or a pink and blue bib.

For any additional support on the day speak to one of our visiting, or Chelsea’s designated, accessibility stewards.

Visiting supporters’ pub

Chelsea have advised that the closest pubs for away supporters are The Earls Court Tavern, The Courtfield and The Prince of Teck – all of which are situated close to Earl’s Court Station which is approximately a 30-minute walk from the ground.

Refreshments

A full range of refreshments, including alcohol, will be available for purchase at the kiosks on the concourse.

Supporters are reminded that Stamford Bridge is a cashless stadium.

Flags and banners

There is only a limited amount of space to display banners and flags inside the stadium so they must be no larger than 80cm in depth and 250cm in width.

Supporters are also reminded of the Club’s own Flags and Banners Policy which is in effect at away matches.

Spurs Respects

We are proud of our superb and loyal support at home and away.

We recognise that most supporters want to watch a football match and not listen to abusive or indecent language from the stands. Discriminatory or violent behaviour, including racist, homophobic, sexist or anti-disability shouting, chanting or actions, is unacceptable.

We should like to remind supporters that the Crown Prosecution Service states that the term 'rent boy' is a homophobic slur and a hate crime. The CPS will take criminal action against supporters using the term, which could also result in the Football Association sanctioning the Club.

If you witness any discriminatory or anti-social behaviour at this match, please report it to the police or a steward. You can also text 88777 or 07894937793 with the stand, row, seat number, description of the offender and a brief description of the incident.

Alternatively, if you would like to report something after the match, you can email reporthate@chelseafc.com or call 0207 386 3355.

The Club reserves the right to indefinitely ban supporters found guilty of using discriminatory language or violent behaviour.

Unauthorised use of tickets

Supporters are reminded that the unauthorised reselling or passing on of tickets is strictly prohibited. In line with the Club's Sanctions and Banning Policy, supporters found to have purchased tickets and subsequently sold or passed them on to other supporters, or offered them for sale, will be subject to sanctions.

Supporters unable to attend

Supporters unable to attend the match should contact the Ticket Office as soon as possible. The Club will make best endeavours to reallocate tickets to other eligible supporters and issue refunds upon receipt of originally issued tickets.
