So, will this mean that away supporters won’t be able to attend any Stamford Bridge games?
Seems almost unfair in giving Chelsea an even greater home advantage.

Fuck sake, unfortunately I don't have all day to be reading through this thread. Don't want to put the phone down though

From the BBC:

Middlesbrough v Chelsea tickets not on sale​

Chelsea announced that tickets will not go on sale for the FA Cup game at Middlesbrough next week, as expected.
Under the terms of the licence, no new tickets can be bought. Season ticket holders can attend home matches.

If they get to the semis they won't be able to sell any tickets for Wembley

Away tickets are sold through the away club though, are they not? I would assume, then, that away tickets will still be sold as regular?

"Ooh baby talk dirty to me"

Leans over and whispers

"Chelsea could go in to administration"

The reckoning has been a fucking long time coming, and I plan to revel in every fucking second of it. Blue scum nazi cunts!

Hopefully Oil City and New "War Crimes" castle suffer the same fate sooner rather than later.

Do you think it's really as bad as it is being made out to be?

Seems like lots of ifs and buts, and this lot always land on their feet.

I suppose the home team can take it upon themselves to sell direct to Chelsea fans, cutting Chelsea out of the process entirely.

It does mean that it'd be a free for all in terms of loyalty point cuttoffs etc (assuming they operate in the same way as us).

Something similar happened in Scotland about 10 years ago when Rangers and Celtic suddenly decided that they should be entitled to keep a certain % of away ticket sales. All the other teams just cut them out entirely and sold direct, so it is logistically feasible.

I think similar happened to Plymouth Argyle a few years ago when they were in finance difficulty. Home clubs didn't want to give them tickets in case they went out of business so they sold away tickets directly to away fans.

I don't think so as it would be income to Chelsea.

If they get through to the next round of the CL, they can't sell tickets either.

They're not getting relegated or going into real administration, other than potentially only functionally to facilitate a sale to the highest bidder. But they're gonna be bought up by a ENIC/Kroenke/Glazer type investor and be forced to live within their means. And their organic revenues, those that are not reliant on the club being run at a financial loss to maintain a playing squad above their means, are below us and Woolwich.

I think they're going to end up a solidly upper midtable club, in essence, slotting between Woolwich and Spam.

 

[RealCoolYid]

They sound utterly fucked and any proposition of a quick sale is completely fanciful after reading that.

Based on that article, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were allowed to play out the season and then it is reassessed then in the summer.

You hate to see it

 

[MemphisWill]

Couldn't the government just decline to accept the revenue from the away club? The same way they're treating merchandise sales?

 

[Mariner]

They’re back

This is NO time for facts. This is time to party.

Todd Boehly & Chelsea agree sale.
