    Sounds like the NIMBYs are blocking any move to Twickers. Probably for the best though.

    Harsh on Millwall, a well respected club with a kind and caring fan base. To lump them together with some of footballs worst, its at best, unfair.

    Jose getting sacked then.

    No idea why clubs who cant sell out now, want to increase capacity so their grounds can look even more empty.

    Clubs like Chelsea should be reducing capacity. Like Juventus and the milan clubs have/are doing.

    Perhaps people who run football clubs know a bit more about business than armchair muppets? Just a thought....

    Doubtful, especially one who scammed his way to the top.

    Chelsea have sold out most of their Prem games for the last 15 years.

    I can't remember the last Prem game that was not sold out in home areas. Maybe one or two in last decade

    Sold out doesn't mean full right? Plenty of chav games have been empty in all competitions.

    18000 in a champions league game. We havre friendly games with 50000 plus attending.

    Even our youth team gets bigger gates than Chelsea have previously.

    I struggle to understand why United fans care so much about our attendances or proposed ground expansion. It's not as if most of them actually go to games themselves and for a club apparently so insignificant to them, they seem to spend an increasing amount of time talking about us. <laugh>

    Maybe it's because post Fergie they realise they are just another club and have come down to our level. <laugh>
