Middlesbrough v Chel£$a on 14:49 - Mar 15 by daveB | They reckon it will cost then 60k to get to Middlesbrough, i know the trains have gone up but f ck me |
Was actually out over the weekend with a lawyer who works on the legal team and some of the stuff he was saying was unreal. One of them was that it basically costs them £100k to travel to away games, and somebody in the office had said "what the government needs to understand is this is a Rolls Royce club". At that point (Saturday morning) he thought the Newcastle game was actually going to be off because they can't put home games on at the cap of £500k. | ![](/images/avatars/1005.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Well that's tough sht isn't it. This doesn't seem to be getting through to them, the people that run the club, or the supporters. Your chairman has been using you as a money laundry, everything you've done in the last 20 years is built on filthy money, and now he's involved in the invasion of an independent country and the slaughter of its people. These are sanctions. They're meant to be harsh. It's meant to hurt. "Oh no, we might have to get a bus to Lille for our Champions League game when we'd usually fly". Yeh, yeh you might. That's how it works. Suck it up. | ![](/images/avatars/1005.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Middlesbrough v Chel£$a on 15:39 - Mar 15 with 2211 views | BAWHoops | After a week of 'woe is me' from the club and begging us to separate them from their warmongering owner I cannot believe they've come out with this. I don't think they seem to grasp what has occurred. Every death of an innocent Ukrainian is linked to Chelsea football club because they are solely owned by one man who has close ties to the bloke funding the operation. FWIW I think QPR fans should be massively pushing for some sort of fan share of the club. Our owners are foreign (which is fine and not a problem) but we've seen how quickly things can change and how up $hit creek you can get | ![](/images/avatars/3667.gif) |

Middlesbrough v Chel£$a on 16:15 - Mar 15 with 2071 views | Juzzie | In regards to any notion from anyone who thinks the fans are getting punished...... those same 'poor' fans have been absolutely lapping it up (and giving it large) about all their success the last 19 years. Success built on national theft, greed, money laundering and god knows what else leading up to cities being flattened and thousands dying, tens/hundreds of thousands homeless, displaced and worst of all, possible nuclear fkin' war. I heard the Hampton waterworks warning siren go off this morning [testing] and absolutely shat my pants before I remembered what it was. Poor fans? F**k each and every single one of them who thinks the have been hard done by. Cnts. | ![](/images/avatars/1466.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Totally correct Clive. How many people do they need in their parties for away games? Divide £20,000 by the cost per person & that will give you the maximum allowed. Perhaps Travelodge & National Express are refusing to open their doors to them! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Unfortunately that 'home games' cap has now been increased to £900k apparently after some lobbying from the club. Probably being overly cynical (and / or I don't know what I'm talking about) but I was reading about that prospective buyer Nick Candy earlier. Turns out he's a regular contributor to the Conservative war chest and given it's the government he's having to negotiate with regarding any future purchase you can't help but think this will all work out for 'the C**ls' in the end. Hopefully I'm completely wrong. | ![](/images/avatars/8635.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

One of the other stories I heard at the weekend is the sanction was imposed after one of their junior sides had travelled to an overnighter at Stoke, and the club's account with the hotel they used was frozen along with all the company credit cards. They then had to have a very long legal meeting about whether a youth coach putting any meals or hotel rooms on his own personal credit card would be in violation of a government sanction. | ![](/images/avatars/1005.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Middlesbrough v Chel£$a on 13:06 - Mar 15 by bosh67 | As much as I hate Chelsea for reasons that I may have to explain to the maker in the afterlife I do get a sense that the fans are being punished in all this. If the club is under government control the income will be diverted from where it was going to them. It just seems very harsh on the ordinary fans. Much as they knew the Russian money wasn't all being used for the love of the club, the fans generally just want to support their team. I thought Simon Jordan spoke very well this morning on the subject. I can see Chelsea going to the wall to be honest. The fans having to do a Wimbledon FC job and go back to working their way up the non-leagues. Weirdly there may be some older Chelsea fans who'd prefer that. |

Only because there was a backlash. The lack of awareness about everything is astonishing. As Clive says, it just doesn't seem to be getting through to them, Club and fans alike. We all know as a club and fan base they have generally been less than savoury. Here has been an opportunity for both elements to actually show some civility, some understanding of the situation, some dignity. Nope, classless & clueless as ever. [Post edited 15 Mar 2022 17:25]

There are all sorts of wan k clubs out there, and all sorts of wan kers supporting w anky clubs with wan ky owners, wan ky managers, and wan ky players, but those clowns really are in a league of their own. The self-pitying cun ts genuinely seem to think that this is some grand conspiracy against poor old Chelsea. They talk about "the whole club being punished because of one man" as though the sanctions have been put in place cos one of their kno bhead fans acting the cu nt, rather than the fact their dodgy as fu ck billionaire sugar daddy is being sanctioned by the UK and EU for his links to Putin following Russia's further invasion of Ukraine. Especially annoying as they'll get bought out by some other multi-billionaire and win tonnes more trophies - these are the cu nts who somehow managed to win the Champions League with "Bobby" Di fu cking Matteo as their coach. Cuuuuuuuuunts. PS. It's like the John Terry/Anton Ferdinand incident all over again - they can't just quietly acknowledge that everyone else might have a point and they might be in the wrong - they have to sing Abramovich songs during a minutes silence held in support of Ukraine, and whinge on endlessly like they're the true victims.
