Chelsea
have announced plans for a parade on Monday, May 25 to celebrate winning the
Premier League and Capital One Cup this season.
Sunday's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge gave the Blues
an unassailable lead at the top of the table and a first Premier League
title in five years.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Following our success in
winning the Barclays Premier League and with agreement from London Borough
of Hammersmith & Fulham, Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the
Metropolitan Police, we can confirm that a victory parade will be held on
Bank Holiday Monday, May 25, commencing at 12pm."
The first-team squad will be joined on the open-top bus parade through west
London by players and staff from Chelsea's academy, who this season won the
FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League.
Three coaches will leave the west entrance of Stamford Bridge before
travelling east along Fulham Road before going to Eel Brook Common, where
the parade will finish.
