Ordinary To Chelsea

[Shanks]

Need some help/info on this.

For years now there has been a graffiti spraying of the words

"Ordinary to Chelsea"

On the wall outside Lime St station.

It looks like someone has tried to clean it off but have never actually got it off completely.

Does anyone know when this was done and the history surrounding it.

Transalpino have got a T shirt based on this so it obviously has a bit of an "Old School" history.




.

Mods could you maybe move this to Chat as it might get a bigger viewing and maybe more appropriate.

remember seeing that in 2004... at the height of all the gerrard/chelsea rumours.

i figured it was some bluenose on a windup.

It's been there well before that mate.

Seems a bit strange how it was left on there for so long.

Found this elsewhere:

Just thought I’d post in case anyone was struggling with what an ‘ordinary’ was.

Back in the days of ‘Football specials’ when trains were laid on for 70’s hoolies to wreck, there was an incident between Chelsea and Everton fans at High Street Kensington which (I think) lead to Everton coming off slightly the worse for wear.

Next season some legendary graffiti was sprayed onto a wall at Lime Street -”Ordinary to Chelsea” inviting those seeking retribution to attend via a scheduled train service in order to slip through the attentions of the Met.

Do you??


The question was regarding the story behind the reason for the graffiti.

Ta Reece.

The "ordinary" was a general term used by anybody who was actually around in Liverpool at the time. It surprised me to see it cause such confusion. I doubt the graffiti relates to one specific incident.

i'd say around 1985
