They weren't complaining about sporting integrity when they were blowing teams out of the water with their dodgy money.

And absolutely blind to how to garner any public sympathy.

Well done Chelsea for continuing in the Putin / Abromovic line of victimology . Yes what an unfair advantage 'boro would have with home fans only , pathetic any lingering sympathy has evaporated now.

They should ask if they could switch the tie to London, only fair, don't they know how far it is to Middlesbrough?

Radio just said they've withdrawn that request, having utterly failed to consider the response it would get.

Preferably Stamford Bridge where their ‘fans’ will be able to watch….

Without mentioning the ‘unfair advantage’ that the billions of £ have given Chelsea.

The sooner that Chelski realise that, unless I'm mistaken, absolutely nobody has the slightest bit of sympathy for them, the better.

Play with fire and sooner or later you get burnt.

There will be 500/600 Chelsea at Middlesbrough that were already sold, looks like they'll be put in one block and the remainder of the away allocation will now be sold to home fans, I thought in the fa cup the ticket revenue was supposed to be shared but maybe in this case the FA will withhold it. 

If this carries on expect the same at St Mary's, Chelsea will have around 600 away season tickets who will get them and we could potentially sell the rest of the Northam to home fans if there was demand.

Do Chelsea have an 'away season ticket' or something then? I really hope we dont do the 'nice' thing we would usually do and sell away tickets to Chelsea fans directly. I'd rather have empty seats than those entitled w@nkers

Yes they do. Some details in here for our game

The wording suggests that unlike the other games mentioned, tickets probably hadn't ever been on sale for Saints(a), so only away ST holders will have tickets.  I wonder how many that amounts to?

Not official but a mate of a mate goes home and away with Chelsea reckons 5-600

It would be interesting to see how Chelsea's 'Away Season Ticket' works, presumably the club take £570 off fans at the start of the season to cover all away trips?

But still can't really see how they can provide tickets for any of their future away fixtures, surely they still need to pay for them from hosting clubs as games come up before sending out to fans - how can they make that transaction if currently banned from doing so?
