Skinemrippers 895 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 It’s going to be even more spicy on Saturday. PR disaster from Chelsea! One of the most unpopular clubs in England anyway, trying to ruin the FA Cup and punish the underdogs. And the poor lambs can’t travel up north for £20k? The whole country will be back Boro on Sat! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I find it mad that the club, whilst operating as far away from Abramovich as they can right now without having sold, are managing to turn themselves into greater enemies in the public image over something like this. And the fans jumping to the defence of this statement are bloody insane. There's 600-700 Chelsea fans who will lose their tickets for a start and they won't get refunds. But also, the precedent this would set is that Chelsea shouldn't allow any fans into their own stadium, so what is it, 26,000 ST holders down there? All removed from the stadium until the end of the season for the sake of sporting integrity. As well as all the home fans from any other ground they attend this season. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we could have a whip-round among the fans and present Thomas Tuchel with some 10p and 20p pieces in a flat cap as he gets off the coach? And by coach, I mean National Express. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Its the hire of a private plane that's the expense I think. I had a quick look last night, and one for say 30 people or so is a fair whack . Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just read an article in The Times, in which Gibson describes Bruce Buck as "an excuse of a man". I like him when he's bitchy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
