AswinR 96 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 ENGLISH premier League.Only reason a lot of people want it is because there are so many Fans in Asia etc now...I'm sorry In my opinion if you want to see Chelsea, you should pay good money like the rest of us, and visit the HOME of Chelsea! i have been saving money for the last four years in hope one day i can afford to come to bridge and watch chelsea play... but its easier said than done my friend... i understand your fustration but dont you think you have been extremely lucky .........imo if they are gonna do this then they should only shift an away match..if this happens its basically confirmed that football is dead. this is clearly just for the money, football lost its soul a long time agoeverything in this world is about milking money out of it.... but the soul isnt dead imo... look at ppl like us at both ends of the world sitting n discussing about 'our' club....the soul may be exploited but u cant kill the spirit football infuses in ppl... can bet most of us @ the stadium or at their homes in their armchairs had shaired both the pains and gains of this club together at the same time.... and just for information, most chelsea games come in HD channels if there are more than 2 big teams playing and most of us had to subscribe seperately for it and its almost the double then....its a lot of money for a lot of ppl..... i know this cant be compared with ppl buying tickets and going to the stadiums to support their teams but we are trying to do our bit however small it might be....

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It's even worse if you include the New Year day games and the FA Cup 3rd round. Add those two in and we'll have 5 matches in 14 days!Mon 22nd Dec - Stoke (A)Fri 26th Dec - West Ham (H)Sun 28th Dec - Southampton (A)Thu 1st Jan - Tottenham (A)Sat/Sun 3rd/4th Jan - FA Cup third roundAt least 3 tough away matches in there. Eeeek!Gana say seems normal Christmas fixtures are usually pretty shit but still...bleh..hate that period!!So is the overseas game just a meaning less game otherwise who decides who plays who?Daft idea and daft if it goes ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me ask you this first.. are you okay with being used as a tool just to gain money? And to the part in bold, yes, yes you can. Have you ever seen a Newcastle fan before?

Where do you get this notion that chelsea is the second most popular club in the world.In the USA, Chelsea is not even top 3 in terms of popularity. Doesnt matter if Chelsea is the best team in the epl, City was never in top 3 in terms of popularity globally or in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't know the number of, apparently countless fans, in India/Asia. Enlighten me? Considering Chelsea have been one of the most successful clubs in world football for the better part of a decade I would think they are a very popular club. According to you though, Chelsea have no fans in Asia or USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City as well is no where near those 3, its irrelevant that City was the best team the past 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globally, Chelsea are the 4th most relevant club behind Real, Barca, and Bayern. End of story. 4th best ckub in Europe, 5th most valuable club, best team in England.
