CSS ställer sig bakom kampanjen att få Chelsea och ändra sig i frågor rörande biljetter.
Dear Fellow Supporters Clubs,
Following the email from Diane Broom at Chelsea, our supporters club, Hastings and District have raised a few concerns about the new ticketing policy.
We are disappointed to say the least that supporters clubs will receive no away ticket allocations this year, this is likely to be the same for big cup games/finals. Any normal member can go online and basically have the same priority as us in purchasing tickets, many members have phoned me asking what the benefits are of being a member of an affiliated club if we have the same priority as members.
Another issue is the relocation of home tickets to the Shed Lower, this may suit some members being closer to the pitch but many have complained that the view is not as good. With the big "return of the shed" campaign it seems those of us that have tried to increase the atmosphere over the last few seasons in the Shed Upper have been forgotten and relocated.
The main point of this email is why did Chelsea not inform us of these decisions months or weeks ago rather than at the last minute when certainly all of our members have paid there subscriptions for the coming season, many of which are unhappy with the benefits they are receiving.
We as a supporters club would like to hear your opinions on the matter and depending on the view of other supporters letters are proposing to send a letter to Chelsea regarding our treatment.
Thank you for your time
David Mills
Hastings & District Club Secretary
CSS har varit i kontakt med ett antal Supporterklubbar runt om i världen, rörande denna fråga, och svaret från samtliga är entydigt. En förändring måste till stånd från Chelseas sida. De flesta börjar tröttna på klubbens behandling av de lojalaste fansen. Vi får väl se vad detta kan leda till i slutändan. Jag vill bara förtydliga att Diane har ingen skuld i det här, utan dessa beslut är fattade högre upp, så vi kan bara hoppas att Kenyon och grabbarna tar sitt förnuft till fånga. Inte för att jag tror det, men det är ändå positivt att det kommer en reaktion från flera håll. Vi får säkerligen anledning att återkomma i denna fråga längre fram.
