    Hello

    Have you looked at the chelsea store? I know they do a chelsea garter! Other ideas could be some sort of football cake or cake topper. Perhaps some Table trivia about football.

    You could try an incorporate some general football things with the emphasis on chelsea...

    Your table plan could look like the pitch with the tables where the players would be, could even make the background out of some sort of astroturf!

    Table centrepieces could be Chelsea footballs placed at the top of vases... could fill them with blue coloured water?

    You could have a Fantasy Football league type game going on throughout the evening although not sure how that would work exactly... need to think about this...

    Chelsea themed cake (ignore the flags you get the idea!)

    Football themed favours

    I'll keep thinking...................................

    There is a shop in he new Westfield centre that sells classical photography. They have an absolutely fantastic shot of Stamford Bridge taken around 1912 with fans pouring towards the gate. The detail is amazing and shows football in a more raw age. I am an Man Utd supporter, although "almost " want a copy of that print on my wall. IMO this would make a fantastic present for him.......

    Just located this which is of a similar vein to that which I mentioned....although the version I saw showed about another third image size below what is shown here....this shows the supporters streaming towards the stadium....

    down to about here..............which shows the queuing at the turnstiles as well...............................................................................

    Were having a west ham themed wedding. Our bridesmaid dresses are claret & blue and the guys are wearing claret or blue waistcoats. Were having mini shirts as table centre pieces with players names on, we have got claret and blue organza ribbon for the chair covers, we have also got a bubble machine, I know its the wrong colour for you but I hope this gives you some ideas!

    I can check out the store on Wednesday when I am next at Westfield....happy to report back. I was really impressed with the print to be honest as it shows much more than is on the image I posted....If I recall correctly its a couple of hundred pounds...although still worth it.

    I may also be able to arrange something else for your OH.......as the hitched email system rarely works, message me through my website with your email address and I may be able to get him something special......(I promise you that this isn't spam or me trying to sell you my photography)

    FWIW I once did a wedding where the groom was a Spurs fan and the best man an Arsenal fan......the bride wore a garter from each team on each leg!!!!?
