Centenary: second anniversary celebrations
Sunday, May 29, 2005
一百年前,5月29號,卻爾西被選進 Football League 裡,由於當時開會的地點
London Tavistock Hotel 早已不存在,所以跟第一次百年慶的方式一樣,這次在
London Tavistock Hotel 的原址 - 目前是 Royal Opera House 慶祝。
One hundred years ago today, May 29th 2005, Chelsea was voted into
the Football League. The club is holding an anniversary dinner tonight
to celebrate the occasion.
The club had been formed on March 14th when the first board was
established. An application for membership to the Southern League had
been made. This was rushed and late, only pursued after Fulham had
rejected the opportunity of playing home games at Stamford Bridge.
As time went by the Southern League application did not appear to be
making progress, so even later an application was made to leapfrog it and
join the Football League. They were not so dismissive.
The well known financier Frederick Parker visited the Football
League office in Lytham in April 1905 and was told clearly: “Your club
is trying to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.” Chelsea thus
withdrew the Southern League application and focused on the Football
League.
No team had arrived in the Football League without any previous
experience. But Chelsea had financial stability, a fine ground and were
signing up impressive players. Also, there was a lack of southern clubs
in the League.
At the London Tavistock Hotel on May 29th, the chairmen of the other
clubs voted to elect Chelsea to the Football League. That hotel is no
more, and on its site now stands the Royal Opera House. Just as Chelsea
held the first centenary anniversary in the Butcher’s Hook pub, site of
the establishment of the club in the Rising Sun in 1905, so tonight’s is
being held at the Royal Opera House. Many old players and Chelsea
dignatories will attend.
