It was hard not to admire the timing when Chelsea sent a survey about the match day experience at Stamford Bridge to their supporters this week. The first point to ponder? “Chelsea FC is a well-run club.” Later on? “I feel positive towards Chelsea FC at the moment” and “I have a positive experience when attending matches at Stamford Bridge”.

How to respond? Expect a range of views when the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust holds a special general meeting after Saturday’s home game against Burnley. Chris Isitt, the chairman of the Chelsea Pitch Owners, is the special guest, while there will be a Q&A session once the CST has updated members on “recent activity”.
