LONDON — There are precious few quiet moments on a game day along Fulham Road, in the southwest corner of England’s capital city.
But if you get there early enough, you can beat the tidal waves of noise that Chelsea fans send crashing down from the stands of Stamford Bridge.
It’s three hours before the home opener kicks off at one of England’s most venerable stadiums, built on a patch of land where big-time sports have been played since 1877. While blue-shirted supporters make their way from the subway to nearby shops and pubs, Lisa McLeod is already at work in an enclave behind the stadium.
