I've been to Stamford Bridge several times as a Fulham supporter and they've always been selling tickets at the box office, (Fulham likewise but you want a Premier League game don't you) unlike at the Emirates where there is always a sign saying 'Tickets for tonight's game sold out'.
Did you know Chelsea owes it existence to Fulham? After Craven Cottage was built, the developers (yes they had them in the 19th century) wanted to build houses along the riverside, so they purchased another tract of land off Fulham Broadway suitable for a stadium and offered it to Fulham. Fulham said no thanks, they were happy where they were, so the developers were left with a tract of land on which they couldn't build houses (don't know why). Instead it was decided to form another football club which they called Chelsea.
They sell delicious roast beef baps at Chelsea by the way.
