Saturday's match can't be his last game at this club.

That's so true. But the one against Sunderland might be.

Shameful moments for this club.

Chelsea fans walkout on 26 mins is pointless u didn't see Liverpool fans walkout on 8 mins for Steve Gerrard or utd fans on 11 mins for giggs it's sad to see JT Chelsea career coming to an end we should be chanting his name not a walkout

I'm looking for a little help to pull together a summary of why Chelsea should be offering Terry another contract. Please could you help me with legitimate reasons. Many thanks

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Will the walkout change anything? In all likelihood, no. Should we do it? Absolutely!

If it accomplishes nothing other than turning the heads of the Chelsea board and reminding them that there are Chelsea fans who care more about this club than they ever will and whose views and opinions matter and make a difference.

It's not about letting Terry go, it's about the cowardly and disrespectful manner in which it is being done. If the club wants to let a legend go, at the very least they should be announcing it a few months in advance and preparing a proper send off for him so the fans can say their goodbyes and so he can leave with dignity.

This walkout will not change anything regarding the Terry contract situation but it will a step in the right direction of saying: "Hey! This club is not a Russian billionaire's plaything. This club stems from its fans that have been here long before and will be long after every single player, manager, board member and owner!"

What I find disgusting is that he's having to dip into his own pocket for a send off ... that's some next level, cringeworthy shit.

It's tempting to become disillusioned with the way this club functions sometimes.

Actually the telegraph is reporting that the club will give him the stadium for free.

" Hiring Stamford Bridge for a game usually costs £22,000, but Chelsea  have agreed to give Terry the club’s stadium for free as part of a  series of gestures that will be made to the 35-year-old. "

It REALLY isn't about 22K which for JT or the club is nothing. The fact that the legend who has led this club to almost ALL of its trophies in history, the player who personifies this club arguably more than any other man in blue ever did, one of the last remaining ties from within the club to the fan base, is having to rent out the bridge to throw himself a farewell match is beyond fucking disgraceful.

On the radio they said be doing a stand up at 26.cheaper protest lol.cant see many walking out last game and sticking to it.

[Leif 6,006]

our fanbase is really afraid of showing passion isn't it

[Captain Ahmed 528]

The 26 deserves more respect and our direction aren't respecting him

[Leif 6,006]

in our situation, when we want to communicate distaste towards the board's decision, we must roar and leave, not stand and applaud

Fully agree with that Choulo. He definitely deserves a big testimonial where the fans can say proper goodbye.

Might be a stupid question but is there any chance that they 're waiting until he completely retires from football to do a proper testimonial ?

[Fulham Broadway 16,953]

He's not the player he was last season, (the same can be said for the whole squad bar Willian) but  rather him starting at CB next year than Cahill or Ivanovic. Plus Zouma looks like he won't be ready for the start of the season, and will he ever come back the same player? I really hope so.

Nobody can tell me that JT has nothing to offer CFC or the squad next season. If we release him, most of the premier league would want him on a free for a year. This season - we've got a team basically full of cunts, with no commitment, bollocks or leaders in, to throw away one of the best captains chelsea and England has ever seen would be madness. He even feels he's got at least 2 years left in him. We haven't got European football either next year, so it's not as if we'd need him to play every 3 days. I would like a top CB signed this summer, JT, Zouma and Cahill as our 4 CB's next season.

Money has fuck all to do with it. We can apparently afford 150k a week to the likes of Falcao whilst also getting Pato over for half a season when clearly unfit for most of it. We also see the likes of Cahill and Ivanovic getting new deals, when they've been at fault for more goals this year than JT.

It seems like the club want him out and have done for a while. Pretty obvious he'd have been gone by now if it wasn't for Jose.

Whatever happens, JT has been one of the most important players ever in the history of this football club, 2 decades of incredible service and deserves to leave the right way and get a huge send off. The club need to sort it out, and their apparent fear of any employee becoming too much of a legend. How the club deals with the departures of these legends like JT, Lamps etc is embarassing. It's something the club has got to sort out and get right.

I'd say about as much chance as him getting a new contract for next season. They'd probably treat it similarly too; meaning they won't say that they won't  and they'd imply that they might and eventually they won't and everyone knows that they won't.

Same happened with Frank (who admittedly didn't exactly cover himself in glory in the manner in which he left). The club hinted that they might wait for him to retire to arrange a testimonial, but do you really think they will if he comes out tomorrow and says that this will be his last season playing football? Unlikely to say the least...

My word.. it seems that people can solely thrive within negativity, are not they ?

The Board is what it is and you will never be able to change that. However, you can change yourself. So, if giving to Terry a proper farewell is such a crucial thing to your eyes, then why are you not doing this instead of being passive and moaning that someone else does not do that for you ? After all he is your "Captain, Leader, Legend" — the Board has never forced this "legend status" down your throat.

I do not know ; for example, instead of acting like spoiled brats that are not given their sugar, and leave the stadium at the 26th, why not act in a positive way ? You could chant his name till the end of the game ; you could do a giant tifosi with his portrait and the number 26 ; hire a little plane which would fly over the Bridge with a banner that reads "Captain, Leader, Legend... goodbye" ; all the fans going to those two games could take their jersey "Terry 26" and brandish it at the 26th minute, or wear it the other way around all the game so he can see it ; etc...

The fans that sang for di Matteo at the 16th during games, after he was fired, did not need the Board. The fans that displayed anti-Benitez posters did not need the Board. The fans that sang "Mourinho" again and again, after he was fired, did not need the Board. United fans that hired the plane with the banner "wrong one—Moyes out" did not need their Board. Why should you ?

I hope that nobody walks out at the 26th minute, it would be extremely pueril. Terry is already unfortunate to be suspended for the remaining games. There is no need to add more negativity to this moment and to make a grotesque gesture. Yes in the best of the world the Board will offer Terry the best of the testimonials but manifestly we are not in such a world. Terry will leave one and only once. And you have a lot of cheap ways to offer him a positive farewell/goodbye. So do your best to make this a positive moment to which you will look back with proud ; and not a cringeworthy one to which you will look back with regrets.
