Chelsea supporters trust slams 'illogical' new licence as club still can't sell tickets

The Chelsea Supporters' Trust have slammed the UK Government 's "illogical" decision to continue banning Blues fans from purchasing tickets for Premier League matches.

The West Londoners were initially forbidden from selling tickets to any games as a result of the sanctions placed upon the club's Russian owner Roman Abramovich following his nation's invasion of Ukraine. Despite various restrictions being imposed, Chelsea were still able to operate under a 'special licence'.

The Blues were then handed a significant boost on Wednesday as the government decided to amend the terms of the licence in order to allow the club's spectators to attend upcoming FA Cup and Champions League matches. However, much to the dismay of Chelsea's Supporters' Trust, the sale of Premier League tickets remains prohibited.
