It's actually on FTA in England ......I'm not sure how many away fans fit in the Den

I wouldn’t imagine it’s many, just reading Den capacity 20,000 but restricted to 18,500 for crowd control. Av. Crowds last season 17,000 + so I’m thinking 1-2,000 tops.
Brentford come over the top of Chelsea 3-0.
Igor Thiago scored his first Premier League goal of the season as unbeaten Brentford scored three times in the second half to beat west London neighbours Chelsea convincingly.
Brentford opened the scoring in the 61st minute as Jaidon Anthony was left unmarked to head home from a yard out after a deep corner had been nodded back across goal by Jannik Schuster.
Chelsea pushed hard for an equaliser but were hit on the counter-attack late on with Kevin Schade sent clean through - and while his tame effort was saved by goalkeeper Emi Martinez, Igor Thiago put the rebound into an empty net.
Substitute Fabio Carvalho added a third to stoppage to wrap up the three points that lift Brentford to third.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are now three league matches without a win - losing two of them - and have failed to score for the first time under Xabi Alonso.
The Blues shaded a forgettable first half with efforts Pedro Neto and Morgan Rogers the closest either side came to a breakthrough.
It was a livelier start to the second half but chances were still scarce until Chelsea failed to deal with a Brentford corner, Martinez deciding against coming for the ball, and Anthony nodded in his first Bees goal.
Chelsea pushed forward looking to level but for all their possession and territorial dominance, clear chances were not forthcoming and, with seven minutes to go, Brentford broke quickly and Igor Thiago doubled the lead.
The game was won but Keith Andrews' side gave a jubilant home crowd more to celebrate in the final moments as Schade's deflected cross was finished at the back post by Carvalho.

Introducing the first player born in 2010 to feature in the Premier League:
Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli
He is a son of an Australian mother and a Sudanese-Chadian father and holds Australian and French citizenship alongside his upbringing in England, making him internationally eligible to represent England, Australia, France, Sudan, or Chad.
He joined Chelsea as an Under-8 and has progressed through the Academy to develop into a creative attacking midfielder.
The Aussie-born 16 year old now makes history against Brentford, coming off the bench for the Blues in his first EPL game.

Instead of walking out with kids, Betis FC had a much better idea:
bring 11 of its oldest members onto the pitch with the starting lineup.
All of them were over 80.
If you’ve supported a club that long, you’ve definitely earned the walkout.
(I really hope more clubs copy this idea.)
