Former Chelsea winger Paul Canoville has added to the criticism of the UK government’s stance around ticket sales ahead of Wednesday’s vital Premier League game against Arsenal.
The club have been unable to sell tickets since owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned on March 10 owing to his ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin and a stringent operating licence was imposed.
That means Stamford Bridge may only be two-thirds full this evening with the only Chelsea supporters permitted to attend being season ticket holders. Arsenal, however, have been allowed to sell a full allocation of away seats for a match that may have a huge say on who qualifies for next season's Champions League.
