CHELSEA LADIES FC MATCHDAY INFORMATION 2015
A MESSAGE FROM EMMA AND PAUL

    The 2015 season is expected to be a
    big one for Chelsea Ladies FC, as we
    look for success in four competitions.
    Hopefully, we can go one better in
    the 2015 Women’s Super League,
    after coming so close last season
    and we also will look to progress
    in both the FA Women’s Cup and
    the Continental Tyres League Cup,
    before in October looking forward
    to our UEFA Champions League
    campaign.

    This matchday information booklet
    has been put together for all our
    fans that will support us during the
    season at Staines Town. We look
    forward to seeing supporters both
    new and old at Wheatsheaf Park and
    want to make it as easy as possible
    for you. The booklet makes you
    aware of everything that happens
    in relation to ladies matchdays,
    including where to buy tickets, what
    food is available, travel details and
    much, much more.

    The players will be doing their best
    to make the day enjoyable by trying
    to get the very best results on the
    pitch and hopefully the information
    in this booklet will help with
    providing the very best experience
    off it.

    Manager              Assistant Manager

GETTING TO STAINES TOWN

    The ladies team play their home games at Staines Town home ground,
    Wheatsheaf Park.

    Using the M25 Motorway
    1. Leave at Junction 13. If you are coming from the North (anti-clockwise), bear left onto the
    A30 Staines By-Pass. If you’re coming from the South (clockwise), you will need to go round the
    roundabout and back under the M25 to join the By-Pass.

    2. Follow the A30 Staines By-Pass as far as the Billet Bridge roundabout (the notorious Crooked
    Billet roundabout). This should be treated like a roundabout (i.e. avoid the route across the middle),
    and take the last exit, A308, London Road towards the Town Centre.

    Avoiding Town Centre
    3a. Turn left at the second set of traffic lights, by the old Police Station, into Kingston Road. Follow
    this road past the zebra crossing near the railway station, over the railway bridge, and straight across
    the first mini-roundabout.
    4a. At the second mini-roundabout, turn right into Worple Road, which you follow up to its meeting
    with the Laleham Road.
    5a. At the Anglers’ Rest public house, turn right into Laleham Road, B376.
    6a. Wheatsheaf Lane is on the left by a traffic island.

    Via Town Centre
    3b. At the third set of traffic lights, immediately under the iron railway bridge, turn left into South
    Street.
    4b. Follow South Street past the central bus station, until it meets Thames Street and Laleham Road
    at the Thames Lodge / Packhorse Hotel.
    5b. Turn left here, into Laleham Road, B376, going under the railway, and follow this road for ¾
    mile (1 kilometre).
    6b. Wheatsheaf Lane is on the right, by the traffic island

    7. Staines Town Football Club is less than 100 metres/yards on the left, and there is a reasonable
    sized car park. Please park on the left half of the car park.

    Approaching from Sunbury-on-Thames by the A308
    The A308 takes you past Fordbridge Roundabout, Ashford, via the Staines By-Pass and onto the
    Crooked Billet junction. The first exit is the London Road - then follow 3a or 3b as in (A) above.

    From Egham A30 or From Windsor / Slough A308
    Either go to the M25 junction 13 and follow (A) 2 as above; or head towards the town via The
    Glanty, the Causeway, over Staines Bridge, Clarence Street. Turn right into Thames Street, which
    becomes Laleham Road at the railway bridge (where South Street joins from the left). Follow 5b
    above.

GETTING TO STAINES TOWN

    Approaching from Chertsey by the A320
    This meets the A30 (Causeway) at the Egham Roundabout on the far side of Staines Bridge. Then
    follow from (C).

    From Hounslow, Uxbridge, Hayes, Heathrow or Colnbrook
    The A4 Colnbrook By-Pass / Bath Road meets the Stanwell Moor Road (A3044) near Longford
    Head southwards to the Crooked Billet, take the 3rd exit, then follow 3a or 3b above.

    Public Transport
    By Train: Staines Train Station is on the British Rail (South West Trains) line between London
    (Waterloo) and Reading, with direct links also to Clapham Junction, Richmond, Feltham, Hounslow,
    Windsor & Eton Riverside, Weybridge, Ascot, and Aldershot.

    The nearest Underground station is at Hatton Cross (Piccadilly Line), but you will then need to take
    a 203 bus into the town centre.

    By Bus: Route 218 passes Wheatsheaf Lane, Walton, and Kingston; local route 570 passes the
    ground.Please note that 203 and 218 buses no longer take cash - you will need an Oyster card to
    travel. Also note that Staines train station is outside the Oyster card area for train travel, so a valid
    ticket from the last London station (Feltham) is required.

    TAXIS can be ordered from the railway station or the rank outside the station

CHELSEA LADIES HISTORY

     Supporters wishing to have a female section to the club founded Chelsea Ladies
     Football Club in 1992. In June 2004, Chelsea Ladies voted to be taken over and
     funded by Chelsea FC’s Football in the Community department. The club then won
     promotion as champions from the Southern Division in 2004–05 to the Premier
     League National Division and have participated at the top level ever since.

     In 2011, the club was one of eight founding teams in the FA Women’s Super
     League. Matt Beard, the manager, led the club to the FA Women’s Cup final for
     the first time in 2012, but Chelsea were eventually beaten by Birmingham City on a
     penalty shootout after twice taking the lead in a 2–2 draw. In July 2012, Matt Beard
     resigned as manager after three years in the post, to be replaced by Emma Hayes.

     The 2014 season was successful for Chelsea, as they finished 2nd in the FA
     Women’s Super League on goal difference to Liverpool, after eight wins, two draws
     and four losses. A final day win would have clinched them the league title, but
     they lost 2-1 away to Manchester City. Their second place finish meant that they
     qualified for the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the first time in the club’s
     history. They also reached the semi finals of both the FA and Continental Cups,
     where they lost to both eventual winners, Arsenal and Manchester City respectively.
