Anywhere that's not local they fly by private jet, that's not going to be possible any more so that on its own will be a big culture shock for them. Going to be a problem for Champions League.

No issue at all with this all things considered but you do have to wonder how it's simultaneously perfectly acceptable for Newcastle to be run by who they are.
Be realistic. You get the best rates through their website.Thomas Tuchel is on the phone to Megabus as we speak
No more private jets and fancy hotels. Ryan Air it is!
Pretty damning

Assume there's no retrospective look at the 'Fit and Proper' owners test?
Or maybe Russian money into the Govt meant that it wasn't needed...
I think they can gift the tickets I.e give up there commission% on the ticket sales to away fans.Of course but what I mean is if a requirement of participation in the PL is that you supply x number of tickets for away supporters and Chelsea can't do that then shouldn't there be a penalty?
Apparently a lot of the transport arrangements will have been arranged and paid for on a season contract at the start of the season so it might not be quite clearThis is crazy.
With regards to their team stays at away matches - I've not worked on a Chelsea team stay for a few years but they would happily spend £10-£15k on a team stay 5 years ago so with inflation and the cost of hotels (making money after making nothing for two years due to the pandemic), it's definitely going to alter their match preparation.

Could be quite seismic this.

Manchester City had someone owning the club who according to the CEO was a good guy to play golf with. He was a human rights offender on a huge scale. Blackpool were owned by a rapist - its hardly a stick to beat a government with
Plymouth?Yep 100%. It surprises me that these clubs bleat about Green credentials and have Carbon Neutral policies yet fly for domestic games, when a coach journey would be 2hrs.
I work with a L1 club who fly to the odd game due to location but they'll often coach for 5-6 hrs.
Plymouth?

Nope
The poor wee lambs have to travel by coach, instead of plane, to Boro.
The horror
Since when has sitting down for 10 hours been hard work?
Its not the point is it? I have flown to Newcastle for meetings in preference to driving
And?
Using that logic wouldn't every home game also have to be behind closed doors which would mean season ticket holders would be after refunds.Middlesbrough ticket update
Since the below article was first published, the following statement has been released by the FA...www.chelseafc.com
They can’t sell any more tickets for their away game at Middlesbrough on Saturday, so they want the FA to have the game played behind closed doors “for matters of sporting integrity”. I’m sure Boro will be delighted to help.
And its absurd to make the players take a bus trip. Its ridiculous when I am sure the Newcastle players flew down to London - at least this time they didn't hack a journalist to pieces while murdering him
Pretty sure if they really dislike it that much they could get a plane sorted between them.
Probably the same as me and my mates getting an Uber to town.
I'd happily watch the same happen to Newcastle too.
