– Strasbourg supporters agree to travel to London to demonstrate against BlueCo and ‘the continued erosion of values at both clubs’
– Chelsea and Strasbourg supporters will march together in London next month in protest against the owners of the two sister clubs.
– Chelsea and Strasbourg are owned by the Clearlake Capital-Todd Boehly BlueCo consortium, and supporters from both clubs are unhappy with the way in which they are run.
– A statement from NotAProjectCFC said: “As a result of the continued erosion of values at both football clubs, we have decided to come together to take action with one clear, unified message: Blueco Out
– Members of Ultra Boys 90, Kop Ciel et Blanc, Fédération des Supporters du RCS and Pariser have kindly agreed to fly over to London and walk in unison with us on a protest march towards Stamford Bridge ahead of the match.
– Supporters of both clubs are invited to join us on this march. We plan to shine a light on not only the incompetence and mismanagement at Chelsea, but also the restrictions implemented by multi-club ownership, where clubs like Strasbourg are being stripped of their identities, and where long-standing and respected fan groups are being censored and repressed by a brutal ownership.
– We believe this could be a seismic moment in the history of football, where fans of clubs from separate countries will come together to do what is right not only for our clubs individually, but for the sport more widely. Together we can force change.”
– Chelsea fans at Tuesday night’s defeat by PSG sang for former owner Roman Abramovich, while groups of supporters have also chanted against Clearlake Capital at times this season.
Yeah sorry about that fans may I offer you a 19 year old winger?
Need bigger numbers at these things.
Thank you! Let’s band together and voice our thoughts about this horrid ownership.
This is huge man wish I could be there
Wish I could be there
I’ve always wanted Strasbourg to do badly purely because I hate people pretending they’re anything to do with us just because the same clowns own us both
but their fans are alright in my book.
France & England actually join forces together once in awhile but this time, to take down their American owners? Times certainly fly, huh. Who would have thought. Let’s go ✊💥⚽💙❤️
I’ve always wondered what Europeans can do against corporations.
We Americans are basically impotent when it comes to corporate power. They can do whatever they want they want to us.
British and French united against American ownership. This is gonna be for books
i support the sentiment but this will accomplish nothing
These are the ultra groups of Strasbourg and represent a minority of their fanbase. Most of the fans don’t take these guys seriously. They are definitely among the minority. So I wouldn’t take this as a sign the majority of the Strasbourg fanbase is turning against the ownership.
Edit: Before you downvote, ask yourself why are they protesting here instead of in France if the fans want the owners out? Because their own protests they’ve organized have had poor reception.
Where were these protests when we were winning? When we won the CWC, when we beat Barca, Marescas manager of the month. All so quiet. This is just a sing when we’re losing protest and it’s so shallow & hollow.
Right before the sold out match and the flooded megastore
Nothing says tough like “Ultra Boys.”
Lol.
These people thinking it’s anything but a business.
“Ultra boys”? Hahahaha
americans are so trash they’ve managed to unite the french and the english .
Not a Chelsea fan but I have a question – doesn’t Boehly also own part of Dodgers? His co-owner also owns PWHL and Lakers. All are run really well. While MLB has no cap, the other teams and consortiums they run are well-run. What changed with Chelsea?
Protesting doesn’t undo contractual obligations to my knowledge. Like it or not BlueCo can’t sell for what 6 years
And then 40k people will effectively joining a pro Clearlake protest shortly after, rendering any effort meaningless.
I understand the frustration from Strasbourg. If they feel they’re being mistreated I won’t stand against them.
But the Chelsea supporters who want the owners to sell – what exactly do they expect? Is some Ratcliffe billionaire the answer? Will he banish the back room staff and hire Ancelotti and buy a world class CB and LW and we will automatically win trophies? How will they afford those signings, and the wages that come with them? And what if they don’t pan out? And when the two-year high-paying contract ends, will they be replaced? Or will we resign those guys at half a million per week? What’s the fucking plan?
When it comes to protests, I trust the French
