What will Stamford Bridge look like for fans today?

Who is permitted to attend the game?

CHELSEA season ticket holders and those who purchased tickets before March 10 (the day that Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the government).

What kit will Chelsea be wearing?

THEY will be wearing their usual shirts. Their sponsors, Three, have walked away but there has not been enough time for new shirts to be produced.

Will there be a programme for sale?

NOT at the ground today. The club aren’t allowed to make money from them.

Will the club shop be open? NO, it has been shut indefinitely.

Will fans be able to buy food and drink?

YES. Refreshments inside the ground will be available for purchase as usual.

Will match-day staff be paid?

YES. Stewards and the rest of the stadium staff working on today’s game will be paid.
