Chelsea Vs CPO – How Low Can You Go?

October 21, 2011
0 comment

Since the announcement of Chelsea FC’s proposal to Chelsea Pitch Owners, the club have used every possible medium at their disposal to try and influence shareholders to vote “yes”. We have seen the club utilise current players, former players, columnist, the medium of Chelsea TV and the matchday programme. The intensity of their campaign indicates how seriously they are taking this matter. In the interests of balance, the “Say No…

Saturday was a key day for the Say No to CPO campaign, with volunteers taking to the streets and pubs of SW6 to hand out leaflets and discuss issues with supporters face to face. It was a hugely positive experience.  Many fans, even those in favour of the “yes” proposal, wanted to have a chat about what the campaign means and its objectives.  Many of those I spoke to had…

A strong-looking Chelsea reserve side fell to a second consecutive defeat on Monday afternoon as visitors Wolverhampton Wanderers came away from Cobham with a 3-2 victory. First half goals from Jamie Reckord, Sam Vokes and Ashley Hemmings proved enough to seal the points for Steve Weaver’s side, who took advantage of some poor Chelsea defending, and despite goals from Milan Lalkovic and Romelu Lukaku, they were good value for their…

An occasional series of open discussions with opposition fans. They can say what they like about Chelsea and I promise not to be rude back to them. Number 3:  Toffee Time Why Everton? As a Scouser, what’s the choice? Tranmere? I used to go to watch them play sometimes, but when you’re a kid you want a bit more razzamatazz don’t you? You want to see the big names play….

If it wasn’t enough for the club to show how little they care for supporters with regards to the CPO and Stamford Bridge issue, a piece of information comes our way today that shows this is a growing trend. The club have started a new ‘upload your photo/videos’ section on the Official Chelsea FC website called ‘All Blues. All Season‘ – we were asked to promote it a short while…
