CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB - HOME OF THE SEAGULLS

CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY

Year Chronological History
1909 The Federal Football Association comprised of four Teams, Mordialloc, Edithvale, Mentone and Cheltenham. 
1911 It is June 24th 1911 when Chelsea first sets foot on the ground as a football team playing under its own name. The opposition is Carrum and the match is played for a dinner that would later be served in fine style at the Carrum Hotel. Read the Full Story.

The colour of the Chelsea jumpers has been predominately blue and white hoops over the years, but during the first three years while playing as Carrum-Chelsea the colours were white, red and blue.
1912 Chelsea/Carrum did not compete.
1913/1914 After a year of absence the club re-entered the FFA in 1913 and 1914 finishing both seasons with six wins from sixteen games.
The Andrews brothers, Cecil, Arthur and Charlie, were well regarded as being among the club’s better players though some of their tactics were questionable, given that Charlie was recorded, on one occasion, as having marked the ball on the opposition’s goal line while wearing a coat. The field umpire gave the ‘all clear’ but reversed the decision when he discovered that Charlie was, in fact, a Carrum-Chelsea player. Charlie removed his coat and took his kick thereby denying Mentone the goal. Other skilled performers during these times were Newbald, Howard, Bond, Steward and Graham (who later played alongside his brother at Edithvale). It wasn’t long, however, before the ‘dogs of war’ were baying and the Federal Football Association went into recess. 
1915/1918  Play was suspended during World War 1. 
1919  A Ladies Committee had been formed had been formed in 1917 to support the newly formed Chelsea Football Club. Full Story Building The Foundations.

Office Bearers of The Ladies Committee were as follows:
President: Mrs Fricke. Secretary: Mrs A. A. Walker. Treasurer: Mrs Dennington.

Office Bearers of The Men’s Committee.
President: W. Williamson: Secretary: J. J. Smith.
Mr Hocking donated one pound for the purchase of a ball and Mr Callanan donated ten shillings and six pence.

Resuming competition in 1919 with things beginning to return to normal after the ‘Great War,’ the Federal Football Association reformed, with seven teams including Chelsea, who were about to compete as a club in their own right. 
George Featherstone came to the club to join brother Bill who was a committeeman. George was to play a significant role in the establishment of the club in coming years and was instrumental in bringing his nephew Clarrie Featherstone to the club a little later. Clarrie would fill the role of coach, a position that was becoming more common during these times. Others who became more active were W. G. ‘Bill’ Oliver and son Stanley who had both been involved in the patriotic games played in 1917. 
The Chelsea team was only able to win one match during the 1919, season and that on forfeit from Moorabbin. 

With the resumption of football in 1919, Chelsea seniors wore navy blue jumpers while the juniors were decked out in blue jumpers with a broad white band.

COW PAT LOTTO
To be clear right from the very start, football grounds, as we now know them, were non-existent out in ‘the sticks’. Local teams such as Carrum and Chelsea played on paddocks. The Full Story.

1920 THE ROARIN’ TWENTIES
The rip roaring, rocking, rootin’, tootin’, twenties and boy did they start with a bang. The war was over and it was time to redirect energies to matters on the home front; important matters like winning football matches and proving ourselves superior to the men folk in other towns in the area. To say that parochialism was alive and well in this era would be a massive understatement. The inhabitants of neighbouring towns were the enemy. A great deal of honour was to be gained from giving them a decent ‘touch up’ on the ground, and there were plenty of loyal supporters around to assist the effort in whatever way they saw fit. A town’s status and self-image was at stake after all. The Full Story.

1925  Chelsea Notes May 1st 1925. New Officers, New Player, New Colours The Full Story.

Despite the early expectations, season 1925 was one best forgotten. A narrow loss to hoodoo team Edithvale in Round One triggered a string of 13 losses in a row; confidence waned and the endeavour sagged. Finishing last with just three wins was deflating but there was still cause for some optimism as the Junior Under 21 team was starting to become much more competitive, and several players looked promising. 
1926  Chelsea U-21's win the Junior Premiership.

1927  Chelsea Football Club broke up. A breakaway club formed led by Tom Johnston, Roy O'Donnell and Fred Carpenter. It became known as the "Wells Road Team". Chelsea seniors wore brown jumpers with a broad yellow yoke in the latter part of the 1920s.
1927/1928  The League introduced a "Best & Fairest" award and Chelsea  (Wells Road Team)  player P. Gleeson won the award in its first two years.
1929 The "Wells Road Team" was suspended from competition after playing an unregistered player against Mentone.

Les Warren wins League Senior League Best & Fairest.
1930 Still enjoying the benefits of a Warren-led recovery, Chelsea City once again featured in the finals as the decade commenced. Finishing fourth, however, wasn’t good enough as the old enemy Mordialloc once again prevented the Chelsea side from advancing any further. The Juniors also performed well, finishing the season proper in third place but were also eliminated in the semi-finals.

1931  With the depression bearing down pressures were building and after four rounds of the 1931 season, the senior team was withdrawn from the competition. The Full Story.

1932  Chelsea U- 21's win the Junior Premiership.  Team Photo and Match Report.

Player-wise, 1932 was very productive as a young player by the name of Ivan "Bonnie" Johnstone took up residence in Chelsea and commenced his CFC connection by winning the junior’s Best and Fairest Award in his first season at the club. It would be the start of a wonderful career with the Seagulls.

The League became the VFL. "Victorian Federal District League". 

Season Review. The Full Story.
1933  Chelsea re entered the competition after its break away in 1927 where it had played as The "Wells Road" Team.

"Dirty Days" With the economy on the improve, the reintroduction of the senior team into competition occurred in 1933 but it was to be a slow road back as the team quickly became the competition’s ‘chopping block’, losing every game bar one, a one point victory over Carnegie. Chelsea won the wooden spoon hands down and, worse still, managed the daily double as the Juniors picked up the same award for the trophy cabinet. These were difficult times indeed.
This was the last time that a Junior Under 21 competition was operational as it was replaced by a B Grade open division in 1934.
1934  The League became A & B Sections of open age. B Section replaced the U-21 competition. No Junior Football was played. "A" Division comprised of Caulfield, Carnegie, Black Rock, Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Dandenong, East Burwood and Darling. "B" Division comprised of Regents Park, Carrum, Mount Waverley, Highett, Moorabbin 2nds, Cheltenham 2nds. 

Chelsea commenced the 1934 season with two narrow losses and much improved on-field performances, they broke the ice in Round 3 and followed up with a second win the next week. Things were improving and the club was able to register seven wins for the season, but it was to be a short lived improvement.
1935  The League Re Named "The Federal Football League". A" Section became Open Section. "B" Section became District. Regents Park became Edithvale Aspendale. 

On field  season 1935—’ANNUS HORRIBILUS’ - a year that went down in history as our worst ever. Not one single win was registered as the club was relegated to B Section for the coming season. It was to be a blessing in disguise, as the troops rallied at the indignity of their pitiful performance and set about rectifying the situation.

1938 With consecutive flags at the lower level Chelsea was promoted to the "A" Grade Section in 1938. The step up proved to much and they struggled to win a game and finished last with only 2 wins for the season.
1939 The nightmare continued in 1939 with the Seagulls only managing to eke out one victory for the season, that being in the very last game against Mentone which had finished 2nd last with seven wins. These were dark days for the Seagulls.
1940 Chelsea withdraws from "A" Grade competition after 6 games. This was due to heavy loss of players participating in The Armed Services in WW2. The Full Story.
