[Albion] What a Lovely Club Chelsea Are..

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Apart from Palace my most disliked London club fans are racist thugs and some of the players are no better

West Ham take that honour for me.

Really? So someone who supports Chelsea is going to fork out north of £500 a year to watch a club they’re not a fan of? I think not.

I don’t know any Albion STHs that have Chelsea as their first club, but I have worked with several people that were STHs at two (usually London but we will have a few for sure) clubs……simply to have options close to home for watching live football most weekends.

Some Dullard posted this on Twitter about their losses

The funny part of this thread is the thought of Bushy trying desperately not to blow his cover.

I know where you live mate.

Only been to Chelsea once and that was a couple of years ago . The fans I met in the pub were fine and ought me a few pints. So not all are nasty idiots. Had same at Liverpool both may have a larger percentage of idiots but is what success brings. We are starting to see similar.

The funny thing about managers such as Tuchel, Pep, Klopp is that they’re great fun when they’re winning, laughing and joking at press conferences etc, but as soon as they start to lose games, damn the gloves come off and they just look like Whiney children.

Exactly this...their level of entitlement is just astonishing! I feel the post match interviewers are moving toward the GP camp because they get intelligent, balanced answers from him

And, for anyone who hasn't seen it, an extended sulk from Tuchel on the BBC website here

I know of at least 10 that I could name off the top of my head. On the basis that I know less than 1% of Albion’s fan base I’ll leave it for you to extrapolate.

I'll do the stats.

timbha: knows 10 people who are Chelsea fans that have Albion as a second team

Everyone else: knows 0 people who are Chelsea fans that have Albion as a second team

Abitrary total number of Albion fans: 30,000 (based on an Amex full house minus some away fans - in reality there are lots more)

Percentage of attendees who are Chelsea fans that have Albion as a second team: 0.033%

From that I extrapolate that for every 3000 Albion fans, 1 is a Chelsea fan that have Albion as a second team.

I’m glad you aren’t my accountant (or maybe I wish you was).

Point 2 is an assumption without foundation. I’m pretty sure one of my Albion STH friends knows a Chelsea fan with an Albion STH (not sure if it’s the same one though)

Plenty of Chelsea bods knocking about with BHA over the years , trust me

I don't understand why some on here are so adamant that other team supporters don't have season tickets at the Amex. My Aston Villa supporting neighbour has three other friends and they share two half season tickets (yes, they've paid the fee to share and are all Albion+ members).

Changed my mind about Tuchel after watching his interview. He said:

- They had enough chances to win it (wrong - we had more chances, and what did they create apart from the goal?)

- They were denied a stonewall penalty (so 'stonewall' the TV pundits didn't even know what he was referring to).

- Moaned endlessly about weakness of squad due to injuries and Covid. Just like every other team then, including us.

No acknowledgement or admittance that his team had been outplayed for most of the game.

Total prick.

Tuchel looks like a man who cant handle pressure and looked a total prat when he was interviewed last night
Hes lost the plot

It's because they wear rose-tinted glasses

Now you are pushing the boundaries of credibility!

 

[maresfield seagull]

I know of ST whose first teams are 2 xLiverpool 1 Manure 1Arsenal a (very long standing Albion follower home and away on many occasions )
as well a group of four who shared a ST
1 being Chelsea another Spurs Not sure if they still have the ST since covid though

Especially considering two key decisions actually went in their favour - to allow the goal and a booking for Rudiger rather than a red. FWIW, I think the officials got both right, but they could easily have gone the other way.

We have a Newcastle fan in our group of ST holders.

Agreed. When you look at the difference between the Withdean and Amex STH figures surely no one believes that all the difference can be accounted for by lapsed 1970s Goldstone-era fans returning, and/or by 'football virgin' Sussex adults suddenly becoming Albion fans?

People had different allegiances before the Amex was built and to a greater or lesser extent have maintained them. In an unscientific example of people I know who have Amex STHs about a third also support another club. I've mentioned my neighbour before who is an Amex STH and also a staunch Forest fan (sometimes goes to Brighton games in a Forest top). However both his sons are 100% Brighton. (None of them went to Withdean).

Chelsea fans come across as basically being Millwall fans with an entitlement complex.

The club itself is easily one of the most odorous going. At least other big clubs can point to community work or a strong youth system in their favour.

They have just appointed John Terry as an academy coach. You couldn’t get a more community minded fella or better influencer of young people than John.

Since the move to the Amex I, two friends and a son each have had season tickets, never had them at Withdean. Myself and friends were regular at Withdean, but took the boys occasionally due to it often being a shite experience and not wanting to put them off.
Two main reasons we got season tickets at the Amex, we were able to pay by Direct Debit, over the course of the season and the initial capacity being 20,000 lead us to think that getting tickets to the first game in particular, and the popular games against Saints, Palace, West Ham etc might be tough. If the Amex had opened with a 30,000 capacity, we probably would not have bought season tickets.
