A rift has emerged within Chelsea’s fanbase following the Fan Advisory Board’s support of the club’s ownership, amidst criticism from the Supporters’ Trust. The Trust accused the owners of turning the club into a “laughing stock” and warned of potential fan protests.

However, the Advisory Board defended the ownership, stating they have been actively involved in discussions particularly regarding ticketing plans. They emphasized their commitment to representing fan sentiments and facilitating dialogue with the club.

The Advisory Board also highlighted the increased resources allocated to fan engagement and urged fans to unite in support of the team, emphasizing the importance of solidarity during challenging times.
