Chelsea blues....

Football fans will always be quick to point out the evils of other clubs' owner's.

Do they?
I couldn't give sh*t about what other clubs owners get up to.

Unlike many out there you should support the team from where you live or area you came from or alternatively the one you have some connection with, just my opinion of course.

Sounds reasonable, if ever I feel the need to become a football fan, it will have to be Sunderland or Newcastle. Two further reasons for resisting 😊

 

[Fab Foodie]

OK. Clearly, if ever I were to take an interest in football, and, become a fan, I would have to support a team whose supporters have vociferously refused to have an evil owner, despite said owner's wealth and willingness to buy success. I suspect it will be a very sparse list of "possibles".

How about...The Grecians!

54% supporter owned, no other single shareholder can own more than 10%
(which at current rates is about £4.50)....

Joss Stone and Ade Edmonson are trust members.

I would have to be an armchair supporter. Don’t think driving 400 miles once a fortnight for the home games would fit with my “green” credentials

That's fine...The Grecians will take any kind of supporter they can get!

The Wheelers had their annual do there a couple of times, but the beer was terrible, as was the wine. So we've gone elsewhere since.

Vast and expensive. Also rather 'corporate'. The last (only) time I saw them actually play was at the old St Thomas ground, all wood and corrugated iron.

Yebbut, as any fule kno, were don't care about brown people dying unless one washes-up in Kent....

... or in the Home Office.

I heard it was a bit spendy...maybe just the occasional game then....

At 75 years old, I think upping my monthly cycling mileage up, from 150 miles, to 950 miles, may be a trifle ambitious

Oh! this could be interesting.... one powerful and rich Saudi vs another, if the team belonging to the most powerful one loses, the manager may lose more than his job
