Atmosphere at Home Games

Won't happen. Ever.

As long as Chelsea are selling out at the current price they will not make them cheaper and lose money when we need to be making it for FFP.

Anyone that thinks Mourinho or Terry can control the ticket prices are ignorant. The board don't care about fans, they care about the finances. Making ends meet whatever way possible, these are business people. People that have been at the top of big corporations and are known for getting business results, not working class football fans that care about the hard life of the fans. It's never happening.

Of course they don't. But in the same regard they then have no right to complain about the fans at the stadium when the board (or whoever) are in general pricing out the nosier fans.

It's obviously not gonna change so it is what it is.

Until you've been at the 2013 Barcelona vs Bayern second leg cl semi final at the Nou Camp, you haven't seen what a shitty atmosphere in a packed stadium is. Although I guess you could understand why they wouldn't be noisy.

I was there and oh my... I was at the opposite end from the away fans and you could even hear the words they were shouting... shocking !

More comments:

So at best he's unwilling to discuss the factors involved and at worst he's just downright ignorant and criticising the supporters for the sake of it.

Well done, Jose.

The way he was scowling after the first goal was pretty fucking pathetic. I was wondering at the time what his problem was. Just embarrassing really.

Maybe he does have suggestions of how to fix the problem but probably cautious about sharing his opinion for fear of getting shafted by the media (and our own fans now it seems... deep joy) like he did after his original comments.

His original comments which were, by the way, 100% true. I can't believe people are criticising him for correctly bringing up a ingrained problem in the club? Hopefully now it will either invigorate supporters to be louder or trigger reforms in the club. No guarantee of either, but we can hope.

Burying your head in the sand doesn't make problems go away. He's brought a problem to light with not only Chelsea but the PL as a whole.

Heard something the other day on Talksport, it's cheaper to fly to Spain and watch Real Madrid all year long than to buy a season ticket for a top PL side... what a joke.

Doubt that if you include a hotel room that you will need and travel costs?

Hotel wasnt included in the comparison but the travel costs was, there was a long discussion about it but i was only half listening.

Jose has certainly opened a hornets nest, and it is a premeditated remark, he knows what he is doing.

Bottom line is teams win you titles. It has very little to do with the fans/atmosphere. Jose has moulded together the makings of his next great side but unfortunately at the Bridge outside of the big games, nobody is going to get excited about watching us have stacks of possession trying to break down two walls of five men the majority of the time.

He aint wrong but doesnt help fans are being priced out by the stupid prices.Aint just us though Liverpool,Arsenal,City,Man U etc in the same boat.There are times it just goes so flat and others where it bounces.Just depends on the team,performance and who is sat near who as well.If you have groups of song starters grouped together it works,if sat miles apart doesnt travel so far and goes a bit mehhhhhh

[chelseafc9010 224]

Well it's not like he can mention the costs of matches because it helps the club and the club needs it to compete with other teams.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Course he cant mention it but it defintly is part of the reason and dont think it can denied.Wont change for obvious reasons but still is crap.Doesnt help when you have people there for a day out in a 'oo whose that player?Where is this?'sort of thing.The back to the shed do dah worked for a bit then fizzled out

Listening to Palace now a bit ooooooo.

How the fuck can you cheer if you cant stand?

Ok you can sing, but its still terrible...

However I expect next game at Sb at least some more support.
