Why I decided to make this playlist
Last month before the Arsenal match, I realized our local supporters’ pub had super flat energy. Everyone just sat there nursing pints instead of singing. Felt like a library, not matchday. Figured I’d fix that by hunting down proper Chelsea anthems.
Digging through old chants first
Started with what old-school fans sing at the Bridge. Found loads of classic recordings from YouTube clips buried in fan forums. Wrote down:
- Celery – Still mad how fans chuck actual celery during this
- Blue Flag – Simple but gets everyone clapping
- Carefree – Absolute non-negotiable must-have tune
Problem? These sounded crackly through phone speakers. Needed studio versions.
Testing modern remixes before derbies
Grabbed Bluetooth speaker before Palace and Fulham games. Blasted these three everywhere:
- Blue Day (Sackey Remix) – Proper heavy bass drops
- Liquidator 2024 version – Updated the organ riff with drums
- Celery Rave Edit – Made teenagers actually put phones down
Got mixed reactions – older fans hated remixes, younger ones vibed. Had to balance it.
The final experiment at Stamford Bridge
Brought a portable speaker to the Matthew Harding Stand car park two hours before kickoff. Cycled through the whole playlist while grilling burgers:
- BIG MISTAKE: Played “One Step Beyond” first – got zero reaction
- WINNER: “Blue Is the Colour” piano version made whole queues sing along
- SURPRISE HIT: “Tulisa’s Blue Army” – lads started proper bouncing
Learned timing matters – slow builds early, hype tunes closer to kickoff.
My final matchday power order
After 7 home games testing, this sequence gets our block properly rowdy:
- Start with Blue Day (original) – easy warmup singalong
- Transition to Carefree – brings out scarves/flags
- Energy peak with Celery Rave Edit – gets bouncing started
- Big finish: Liquidator + drums walking into stadium
Tested this against City away last week – even stewards tapped their feet. Mission done.
