This is exactly what should be happening here, but instead we're stuck with the lame ducks who've spunked nearly £2bn to take us backwards. Cowards.

Yep. The question is by how much season ticket prices will increase. Last season the increase for non-concessionary ST was just under 8.5%. Chances are the increase will be the same but I would not be surprised if it is more and a large increase on top of changes to when old gits like me can apply for concessionary rates and the sh*te performances may put off people renewing ST which is just what the board wants.

To use that wonderful Anglo-Saxon expression we're f**ked!

The thing is Boyne, an increase in ticket prices is hard for fans, but the extra it brings in is only a fraction of our overall revenues

A FOS deal would have brought in extra millions last season, but our commercially astute owners didn't get it done,so for that failure alone the fans are likely to be the ones to pay.

@The Rising Sun You're right an increase in ticket prices will only bring in fraction of overall revenues. I think I read a while back that revenue from ticket sales is less than 5% of overall revenue but I'm happy to be corrected. As you say a FOS deal would have brought in extra monies but yet another f**k-up by our supposedly financially competent owners.

What next in the list of f**k-ups by the owners.

Leaders of the Inter and Milan ultras sentenced to years in jail for extortion, blackmail, anything else you care to name. ‘Ndrangheta puppets, basically. The ‘Ndrangheta make the other mafia organisations look like under 15 netballers. Seriously dangerous people.

They were actually sentenced primarily for ticket touting and other scams perpetrated on matchdays, meaning that even the Mafia has been held more accountable than Todd Boehly

It was way more than ticket touting as you probably know. Eg, selling "protection" to businesses and properties in the vicinity of the stadium, protection from the ultras themselves, vandalising and assaulting those who didn't take up the offer. But the ticket touting works for your Boehly gag, fair dos.

I actually didn't know that, I only knew the "other" stuff was the Mafia using them as hired muscle to carry out hits on other Mafia. I imagine there is a lot more detail in the Italian press. My information is only from Reuters though, as I speak Australian.

Congratulations to Behdad Eghbali, just 4 points off achieving his dream of turning a Champions League winning club into f**king Brighton

Embarrassing as usual from BlueCo Chelsea. That whole post after taking the piss out of them was pathetic. Making a joke out of our red cards (not a laughing matter in all honesty) and then congratulating Arsenal's season, there is no way that didn't come from above. There is a clear disconnect between the fans and this ownership that shows no signs of improving.

Got to respect their efforts in giving us constant reminders to hate them.

No doubt that admin was told off by Winstupid.

Total melts again.

The original tweet was quality banter. Completely ruined by this pathetic woke arse kiss. How can these Americans continually misread every single situation. I am trying to think if I can remember a time when I have hated everything about this club less than I do right now.

Always suspected that the SDs were rival fans on a quest to destroy us. We now know that they're Arsenal fans 😂

The previous run rate was £40m a year from Yokohama and Three ... dating all the way back to 2015/16 LOL.

£33m in 2026 is the equivalent of about £23m in 2015 so if this comes to pass they'll be effectively halving our FOS deal from the Roman era 🤠

“Chelsea are the other big losers in the index, with their projected front-of-shirt sponsorship value falling from £50.3m to £33.6m, following their failure to qualify for any European competition. The club, however, are confident their sponsorship value remains closer to £50m.”

They can confidently go into yet another season without one then. No-one's paying that.
