I started reading the chelski comments and after page 100 and something got extremely bored ! Was chelski a fan during the mid to late 70s (probably too young) when they were struggling to get 7,000 at the bridge? They were rescued by Ken Bates,I think he paid £1 to take on their debts due to the big stadium they had built but couldn't fill.Chelsea have been very fortunate,it's all about money and they got bailed out big time!Now they are a Russian plaything, he will get bored eventually .......

An interesting analysis.

Chelsea were struggling to get 7,000 in the mid to late 70's? Presumably you yourself are too young to remember the Chelsea Palace FA Cup game in 1976 when there were around 56,000 at Stamford Bridge?

Indeed, if you look at some of the attendances from the 1976/77 season at Chelsea, they're not too bad:

43,654 vs Southampton
38,879 vs Charlton
36,137 vs Wolves
34,857 vs Millwall
36,499 vs Forest
55,003 vs Fulham
43,718 vs Hull

And this for a second division club. But sure...Chelsea could only get 7,000 in those days.

As for the rest of your dubious analysis, Bates didn't arrive till the early 80's and the building of the East Stand (whilst it did cripple the club financially) didn't greatly increase overall capacity so your "couldn't fill the new stadium they had built" remark is also bollocks. Nice line about "wait till Abramovich gets bored" though. Have only heard that about 3 million times in the past 10 years....and he still shows no signs of being bored.

So tell me 'Brayner'...on the subject of attendances around the 7,000 mark, were you a Palace fan when they achieved an average attendance of 6,446 for the 1984/85 season? Or 6,787 for 85/86? Or 7,583 for 86/87? Actually, were you part of the 15-16,000 who have been attending Selhurst in recent seasons? Or are you part of the extra 10,000 who have suddenly appeared upon promotion (as happened for the 2004/05 season)? And to think that is the sort of thing you accuse Brighton of.

I haven't got the record books to hand regarding attendances for the Chelsea games in 1976/77 season so I apologise for that! All I do know is that for several seasons in the late 70s early 80s you were struggling big time and a sugar daddy came to your rescue in the form of Mr Bates who bought your club for £1 and sold out to a certain Russian who has since poured in hundreds of millions if not billions, that's why it's all about money. Let's face it Blackburn wouldn't have won the premier league without a certain Mr Walker...

And? Chelsea are hardly the only club to have been rescued financially. Indeed, Palace were in a reasonably precarious position before being salvaged by that consortium. Besides, plenty of clubs have tried to 'buy success' and failed.

Always find the 'buying success' a rediculous arguement. What does it actually mean?? Buying success? There is not a club in the world that hasnt spent money beyond its means. Is it that we spent a lot in a small amount of time? Lots of examples of clubs who have done that (including Palace). Is it the amount we spent? Surely thats just numbers. The money needs to be spent wisely and clubs need to have long term plans.
The fact is EVERY football club has a plan to progress and develop. They all want to be successful! Palace exceeded their aim last year. This year its to stay in the prem. If they achieve that the next year its to become mid-table and may be a cup run the following year and so on...
Chelsea had a plan. Abramovic had a plan. It was to make Chelsea one of the biggest clubs in the world within ten years. On all counts he has achieved that. Yes it cost a lot of money but actually Chelsea's financial worth as a club now far exceed the expenditure.
I understand and sympathise with the arguement about local club and local fans, but every club celebrates its diversity and world wide fan base and at some point if a club wants to grow in to a huge club you have to embrace that concept. Alternatively its sit in the lower divisions and stay small. If that makes some fans happy then so be it. I actually really respect the Palace fans on here that say that. Me, I like that we are successful and that we have grown to become a huge world wide club. I love the Champions league nights, the cups, the championships. The bigger the better.

You have done exactly what Man city have done got a foreign oil crook in and bought your titles.
At least when Harding was in charge with Vialli Gullit etc you had a bit of soul at the club then you mixed a good English core with a bit of foreign flair ,I would hate Palace to be ripping everyone off with high ticket prices and taking the rise out away fans who gave spent a fortune travelling to see their team.
You may well love what you have become but a lot of the old Chelsea I know around Croydon won't and don't go.
Why ?because they fail to recognise the club they once loved.
Football is not all about the premier league and Champions league the sooner Utd/Arsenal /Liverpool/City Chelsea all piss off to a European w***athon the better for the rest of us.

Oh dear. I hear this nonsense from the uneducated all the time. Ok lets take each point:

Bought the title? - Name one club who has won anything with all home-grown players? How many of your players are bought? Its just that we spend more money than you that bothers you. oh well!!!!
Oil crook? Says who? You? Evidence... Been here before and still never seen any.
Soul at the club? Used to have English Core? Lampard, Cole, Terry????
Ticket prices?? Ripping off fans? HA HA Chelsea's ticket prices have been frozen for a few years now and there are loads of opportunities for true fans to see them without paying a fortune. Also you seem to forget that over the last ten years we have won 11 trophies. Its not as if we have been treated to relegation battles and false hopes!!!
Not one piece of your opinion is based on any evidence. Oh sorry, apparently you know 'old Chelsea' who dont go any more!! Wow!!
Your great at giving an opinion but I dont back it up with anything.
Maybe you should stick to what you know about!! and that is???

You're pretty much right about most of the things.

But not the ticket prices, they're a joke. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is so so bad, and that's because there's too many corporate people who are willing to pay the money. True fans that can't afford the extortionate prices are left with FA Cup 3rd round games and the like,that's not how it should be. Also we are going to be charged £55 for a ticket at yours. Obscene and disgraceful
