Chelsea to improve stadium and announce U-turn on ticket price rises amid supporter anger over Super League

The Blues will revamp Stamford Bridge and review their plans around raising the prices amid the furore from their involvement in the breakaway

Chelsea are reconsidering their plans to raise ticket prices amid uproar around them joining the Super League last weekend, which sparked a furious wave of supporter protests.

The Blues informed a small group of supporters at their fans forum meeting that they would raise ticket prices by 5 per cent in the 2022-23 season.

It was met with frustration by some, with the announcement coming just moments after the club chairman Bruce Buck had defended their ESL plans to the working group, and after changing their minds regarding the ESL, Chelsea are now considering doing the same on ticket pricing.
