@henrywinter They won’t be in high demand next season! I’m a season ticket holder of 20++ years and have never seen the club run so badly and with true fans not considered by the ownership. Had never paused when thinking whether to renew my season ticket but I am doing so now.

Never mind the ballots? Tickets for Chelsea home matches next season will be sold “via an application process for Chelsea FC members”. Application in a designated window, tickets then allocated through an automated process “run by a third party to ensure complete fairness”. Chelsea introduce ID verification for tickets. “In the interests of security and to help tackle ticket fraud, before accessing or purchasing tickets, supporters over the age of 16 will need to complete an online verification”. Chelsea say they have suspended “over 16,000 memberships, versus 5,000 in 24/25” due to “ticket misuse/touting”, almost half involving “misuse of tickets purchased within the Family Stand”. Chelsea blocked “up to 80,000 bots per game at the point of sale”. Loyalty points will be awarded only for physical attendance at game, ie ticket scanned at turnstile, and not simply through purchasing ticket. “The club has been made aware of instances where supporters have purchased tickets solely to obtain loyalty points, with no intention of attending the match.” From next season, season ticket holders “will be required to utilise their ticket for a minimum 13 PL home games”. Club adds that “where a supporter’s seat has not been utilised for a number of matches, the club will endeavour to contact that supporter to make well-being checks and offer advice on utilisation methods”. These include forwarding ticket to an eligible member and listing ticket on Chelsea’s official ticket exchange. “With such high demand for our tickets, it is important to us that as many seats as possible are made available to members.” #CFC

Comment ‘PLAN’ and I’ll send you the 60-minute practice routine that’s helped 1,000s of golfers break through plateaus.

@johnpeter_jip @FrankKhalidUK There isn’t a system

@FrankKhalidUK It's true. He can go. If he doesn't fit the new system.

I hope this rumour is not true.

@ENZOIZU @ChelseaFC @TheChelseaForum @obionepodcast @SkySportsPL Couldn’t put it better…

🚨Let me make this even clearer, because this isn’t a defense of anyone. It’s a FORECAST. 👀 It’s me saying, watch the direction we’re traveling to. Because in football, the loudest warning signs are rarely the score-lines, they’re the decisions that happen around the team. Yes, the club is bigger than any player. That’s obvious. But that line is not a counterpoint to what I said, it’s a distraction from it. My point is simple and objective; When a club starts selling off the core of its squad, that isn’t a “normal turnover anymore”. That is a signal. It tells you what’s coming next. It tells you what the club has chosen to prioritise. It tells you whether this is a team being built to peak or a squad being managed to survive. Because there are only two ways you move when you have a young group that’s supposed to grow into something: 1.You protect the spine, add the right pieces, and let continuity turn potential into dominance. 2.Or you start removing the pillars early, and then spend every season explaining why nothing ever fully clicks. Selling the core is not just selling a player. It’s selling; continuity, chemistry, leadership growth, identity, that is the very “project” people keep referencing And once that starts, it rarely stops at one sale. It becomes a pattern; the team is always two windows away, always one more rebuild, always trust the process, while the process is quietly being stripped of the things that make it real. That’s the hidden message behind the original post in quote. I’m not pleading. I’m not arguing. I’m not idolising individuals. I’m saying loudly, if you want to know where this is headed as a fan like me, watch how the club treats the foundations of the squad. Because the day the core starts getting moved on, that’s the day optimism becomes coping, and we fans are always the last ones expected to notice this, until it’s already too late.⏰ So until that day comes, my stance is straightforward, Protect the core. Let the group mature. Demand standards, yes, but don’t panic into self-destruction 😉🤝. Because if the core stays intact, we still have a real chance to peak. If it doesn’t, we already know what comes next. 💙 #CFC

@seagull81 @sw_train Good to see someone read this as SWT certainly won’t! HNY Coxy!

@gavski71 @sw_train There are commuters that would give anything to to have access to a train service with that level of consistency.

@sw_train usual awful service, 3 days running the 747 Surbiton - Waterloo runs at least 5 mins late, is this just a new hidden timetable from the published one?

Losing width and turn in your backswing? You are using your hands too much in the takeaway. #golf

@NewsJeffJ1 Really good summation of where we are. Think you have it spot on. Palmer now a marked man and our alternatives are not as effective in attack which makes it easier to shut down against the best teams.

Why did Maresca persist with Gusto as the 10? Many deemed the LIV game the first real test for Maresca and he made an intriguing tactical tweak by pushing Gusto into the 10 role. Since then, he’s done the same in all of Chelsea's PL games. Do we need a change? Etc. A Thread!

@Tweetchelsea20 100% Poch in, been this way for the whole season

I'm intrigued to know if you are still 'Pochettino Out' or 'Pochettino In', Chelsea fans.

@FrankKhalidUK Give it a rest Frank, surely you have something better to do than post this rubbish..

Which of these record Chelsea signings were flops?

@LDNFootbalI In

Chelsea fans… Mauricio Pochettino IN or OUT?

One of the very best, wishing Azpi all the very best on the future ❤️

Top work lads! 🏏

@Ebivwie01 @Blue_Footy Well said, buying players as if we are choosing them from a panini sticker book! Joke of a process

@Blue_Footy Chelsea should stop all this we need to hire a coach first then let the coach decide who he wants, please stop buying players for the coach
