I believe so. Expect a half empty stadium for this game, boycott or not. The game has little significance, it's a pretty much guaranteed win + high ticket prices.

Yep this is probably going to be like Rosenborg all over again, hopefully with a better result and no managers being sacked though!

25k max I reckon.

That doesn't sound good. Against whom are they playing?

Wolves.

HT we are 3-1 down. After Lalković (our best player so far) scored we conceded another stupid goal. Not to impressed with this game and our team. Lukaku is struggling, he's been a disappointment so far. The back four has had a horrible half, Chalobah especially. Only Bertrand was solid defensively.

Moments after I posted Lukaku scored but it was another mistake by the Wolves keeper. 5 minutes to go, don't think we can snatch a point here. :chai:

FT 2-3 Wolves

Poor performance overall. Thought the lads would play a lot better and prove themselves.Instead they've underperformed and AVB wasted his time today.

Was on the website earlier to book my ticket for the Wolves game & had a look on the Genk allocation, there were only 3 stands left available & we still have another 2'ish days to go, so its going to be near a sell out, certainly more than the Bayer game anyway.

I certainly wouldn't pay 40 quid for this game & there are many fans thinking the same as me but I did notice that the Genk away tickets are £42 so I wonder how much they have put their prices up for the return leg. If fans are boycotting the home legs for charging £40 are fans doing the same for the away leg?

Chelsea decide their home prices, not the away prices. The away ticket prices are totally irrelevant to the boycott.

I myself don't go to home games at all, as I don't think they're worth the money. I save my money for European and away games, but do understand why people are taking action. Although I don't think boycotting the game is the correct way to go about it as every fan is easily replaceable. A protest would give a louder message and would put the club under a lot more pressure to lower the prices as there would be more media involvement.

I'm not sure the Genk away ticket is irrelevant in this case WHS, as our home fans are quite rightly staying away for having to pay £40 for a CL group game but Genk are actually charging more? Yet we are making a stand against high prices but I've no doubt the away leg will be sold out by our fans having to pay more! I'm not saying they will but the club could use this example not to lower CL group tickets, I said before we are being fleeced & wanted to go to the Bayer game but there's no way I'm paying £40 when it should be reasonable at about £25. It goes against what we are boycotting against & doesn't make much sense, a protest would seem the more logical solution but I think some fans like me just won't pay the inflated prices & probably can't afford to either.

I fully understand were you are coming from & can see why fans chose to just go to away games because of the dull atmosphere at the Bridge & I guess you experience so many different things to the away CL games - I just wish i was in a position to join you lads!

I see where you're coming from I guess. Although it would be hard for fans to boycott a European away as many book flights and hotel before tickets details are released.
