Chelsea have decided not to continue subsidising away travel for fans despite £900m transfer spend

As we approach the end of this summer transfer window there has been new ground broken with a new British transfer record set as Chelsea saw off Liverpool to land 21-year-old Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion for £115m.

The spending has been welcomed by many Chelsea fans, a sign of ambition from the owners when it comes to investing in success on the pitch. Most fan bases would undoubtedly be as delighted to have seen such a steady stream of major deals for top talent secured. “The first coach offered for the season will be for Bournemouth vs Chelsea on 17 September. This would cost £29 per person, however, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust has agreed to subsidise this game for anyone who wants to travel, so the fare for this fixture will be £10.

“Chelsea Football Club has today announced that it will remove the full coach subsidy for away domestic travel,” read a statement from the Chelsea Supporters Trust . “Earlier this month, The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust met with club officials in response to online rumours that the coach subsidy would be removed for the 23/24 season. CFC clarified that at the time a decision had not been made but confirmed that they were evaluating the subsidy budget.

On Friday, the CST again met with the club to communicate that at a time when they should be taking active steps to make football affordable for more people, the decision to remove the subsidy in full is totally unacceptable. This decision also contradicts the commitment to inclusivity that the club guaranteed during takeover discussions held last Spring.
