Chelsea have been accused of penny-pinching and putting financial strain on supporters after removing a £10 coach subsidy for travel to domestic away games. The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust has reacted furiously to the decision, with the club’s insistence that it was “not financially sustainable to continue to offer subsidised coach travel” doing little to win supporters over.
The CST called the move appalling and pointed out that it comes not long after Chelsea broke the British transfer record for the second time this year by buying Moisés Caicedo from Brighton in a deal worth up to £115m.
