Over 300 west coast Chelsea supporters RVSP'd via Carefree California/LA Chelsea Blues/OC Blues for the 4:30am match. Who knew it would start raining as everyone lined up at 3:30am for the 4:30am destruction of Norwich. Props to the LA Blues that pre-gamed with an overnight pub crawl in Koreatown.
Like clock work, it stopped raining shortly after the final whistle but LA Chelsea Blues, OC Blues and others from around the region made a strong showing on NBCSN.
Even with the unfortunate 4:30am start, if you get a chance to attend one of these gatherings, we strongly suggest you do so.
Here's a collection of photos from the morning.

Goal # 4. On our way to seven. Touchdowns are a great way to survive a 4:30am kick off in the rain.

Steady rain entire match. Are we in London?
