In the whole history of football Chelsea set an amazing record that they can boost on as layer many football club begins to copy as they thought it as the best options.
19 April 1957, Chelsea set an English record by becoming the first team in the world to travel by plane for a domestic away match, they saw the decision as the best and very necessary one, not that they are busting of how much money they had that time. They have to play two matches in three days. First they have an away match against Newcastle at St James park which is just over two hundred and eighty miles (280miles) away from Standford bridge. The next is a home game against Everton in Standford bridge.
They saw that time was more important than money, and they also consider the stress their player will pass through if they proceed via bus. So they chartered a flight to Newcastle and back to London.
The plan worked as the blues played that day against Newcastle, at St James park, and they won that match, and they return home to host Everton the next 2days and they disseminated Everton 5-1
