History of Chelsea

Founding and early years

Main article: History of Chelsea F.C. (1905–1952)

The first Chelsea team in September 1905

In 1904, Gus Mears acquired the Stamford Bridge athletics stadium in Fulham with the aim of turning it into a football ground. An offer to lease it to nearby Fulham F.C. was turned down, so Mears opted to found his own club to use the stadium. As there was already a team named Fulham in the borough, the name of the adjacent borough of Chelsea was chosen for the new club; names like Kensington FC, Stamford Bridge FC and London FC were also considered.^[10] Chelsea F.C. was founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub (now The Butcher's Hook),^[1][11] opposite the present-day main entrance to the ground on Fulham 

 

Road, and were elected to the Football League shortly afterwards.

Chelsea won promotion to the First Division in their second season, and yo-yoed between the First and Second Divisions in its early years. The team reached the 1915 FA Cup final, where they lost to Sheffield United at Old Trafford, and finished third in the First Division in 1920, the club's best league campaign to that point.^[12] Chelsea had a reputation for signing star players^[13] and attracted large crowds. The club had the highest average attendance in English football in ten separate seasons^[14] including 1907–08,^[15] 1909–10,^[16] 1911–12,^[17] 1912–13,^[18] 1913–14^[19] and 1919–20
