Key occasions
The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust has launched a remark relating to visiting supporters after final evening’s Conference League semi-final 2d leg with Djurgården at Stamford Bridge.
During Thursday’s Uefa Conference League vs. Djurgården, an enormous choice of away supporters have been in a position to infiltrate huge spaces of the house finish.
This is essentially the most critical breach of stadium safety in fresh reminiscence, and it considerably undermines any safety protocols Chelsea FC installed position forward of the fixture.
As a outcome, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust will officially write a letter of criticism to Chelsea FC’s COO and Head of Security. We will name for a proper investigation through the membership into the price tag gross sales procedure and Chelsea FC’s safety reaction throughout the fit.

No supporter will have to really feel unsafe whilst at Stamford Bridge, and the CST will do the whole lot to make sure that a complete and right kind clarification is issued to supporters and safeguards are installed position to make sure that this example isn’t repeated one day.
Preamble
Let’s be truthful: that is actually, actually humorous. Manchester United and Tottenham have had a stunning time within the league this season (15th and 16th respectively, 35 defeats between them, record-breaking stuff in a foul approach).
And but right here they’re, in a position to compete in a European last. Spurs may just win their first primary trophy in 17 years. A United victory would make it 3 consecutive seasons of silverware; even in disaster, they someway have the option to compete.
Which ends up in a real query relating to fandom. Would you reasonably go for a season of solidity, superb soccer to move with grand effects however no trophy pay-off (Arsenal), or a yr of distress till a wonderful and triumphant day trip at Wembley and many others? I’m leaning in opposition to the previous however would have an interest to listen to from others.
Drop me a line together with your ideas on that and every other issues as we construct as much as any other weekend of, let’s face it, reasonably inconsequential Premier League motion.
