I have not been on here for a while, and was wondering at the Chelsea game was anyone else bombarded with Chelsea fans? I e-mailed the club at my concern of having this problem... To whom it may concern, I am e-mailing a complaint to the ticket office and whoever wishes to pass this on to a higher level of the club can do if they wish. As a season ticket holder in the Rookery I was appaled on Saturday to see two Chelsea fans on either side of me at the match. Which during the 90+ minutes was very nerving as I was watching the game by myself, which is daunting for a 21 year old female. This breaches the clubs safety policy "The club has designated the Rookery Stand as an area for homesupporters only. It is the policy of the club that any visiting supporter found in this stand will be ejected from the stadium." The Chelsea fans were rowdy and in seats AA102 and AA104, in between my seat AA103. I would like to know exactly how they managed to get tickets for the fixture also if they have managed to get anymore tickets as I hope they don't. Regards There reply... Thank you for your email and apologies it has taken so long to get back to you. As you can imagine it has been a busy week in the ticket office due to the Semi-Final. Before every match we have a debrief to discuss any areas of concern, and the one area of concern for Chelsea was the fact that we may have Chelsea supporters trying to get tickets in our areas. To stop this happening we decided that tickets would only go on sale to people who were on the database and they would only be able to purchase 1 ticket per person. Especially when we found out that Chelsea had sold out. The tickets were sold to members, season ticket holders and database supporters only, however I do agree there were a large amount of blue shirts in the Vicarage Road. I sit in the East Stand and had 2 young boys with John Terry tops sitting next to me. The unfortunate thing is, these people are getting the tickets from other supporters, and I can assure you this is something we are looking into, as the last thing we want is for our fans to feel intimidated. I hope this answers your questions and assures you this is something we are trying to stamp out. Thank you
I managed to get two Chelski fans ejected from the East Stand . I haven't noticed it much with other teams but EVERY time we have Chelski at home they're there sitting on their posh blue cushions. Something has to be done about it...what happened to the days when the home stand was the home stand and the away stand was the away stand? I thought the labels were rather obvious, especially with "AWAY SUPPORTERS" written by their bit, but obviously not.
The club should have a record of who purchased the tickets. If it was a Watford supporter on the data base who subsequently sold the tickets on then he/she should be banned.
If you were really hat bothered/scared/intimidated why did you not grab a copper and explain the situation? instead of sending an email weeks later..
