Currently approximately 47,000 according to this with plans to expand to 52,000. It would be good for both semi's to be outside of London with the Final obviously being in London.

the sanctions are against Abramovich not Chelsea. So if the FA arrange for a 3rd party to sell the tickets and the money is ringfenced to not go to Abramovich, then seems a reasonable compromise.

Which would be all well and good, apart from the fact they couldn't sell tickets to Middlesbrough, so where's the difference? And they can't sell shirts to their fans, again, where's the difference?

You either ban the lot, or none at all.

What about Chelsea being allowed to take a flight up to Middlesbrough? That probably cost a bit more than 20k. The rules are being bent left, right and centre. Probably because they are a global "brand" or some b*****s.

i would imagine it was all about timing, and the government having to make it up as they go along (because they have shown themselves to be so good at that). They've obviously worked out a way to do it that separates the money from the club - slightly harder to do with a club shop owned by the club selling stock owned by the club.
Its obviously a shambles, but anything involving this government usually is.
 
I don't know, given the number of times uk governments have seized the assets and imposed sanctions on premier League clubs and their owners, you'd think they'd have it all worked out by now!!!
 
Personally I don't mind Chelsea fans being allowed to buy tickets, but these should be sold by a third party not the club, and the cut that the club would usually get instead be entirely given to the Ukraine crisis fund.

But should they be….

Also the World Cup in Qatar. Should that be looked into??

Also plenty of Russians lurking around numerous PL clubs - should they be looked into?

Alisher Usmanov (Everton, ex-Arsenal) has been sanctioned, not controlling interest though and he has been isolated from the club. Of course because it took the government so long he managed to divest his UK assets into irrevocable trusts before sanctions took effect.

Apparently, the flights were booked and paid for well before the sanctions were announced. Apparently.
 
With today's news that abramovic has changed his stance on the £1.6bn he is owed by Chelsea, this apparently threatens to delay/disrupt the takeover talks currently taking place.

Putting aside the likelihood that the lawyers will work something out/deadlines are extended etc...
.......what would be the course of events should a sale not be agreed by the end of may?

I wonder if this was what Mad Nad was referring to? Chelsea may be in real trouble of going out of business or at the least severely cutting back. They could lose a plenty of players who are OOC. The ex youth/youth players may be playing, assuming they could carry on.

Relegate them, I know it’s not the fault of the club or supporters but imagine if that was little old Oxford……

Chelsea agree sale terms with LA Dodgers' Todd Boehly

The new owners will pay £4.25bn for the football club, including £2.5bn to be given to charity.
www.bbc.co.uk

It looks as though a sale has been agreed.

I’m suspicious of another American owner coming in. It was no surprise that much of the ESL nonsense came from clubs with American owners - whose US sports franchises have no relegation so are guaranteed a slice of the pie season after season - and I fear having another at a ‘Greedy Six’ club will only exacerbate the idea again.
 
Wonder if any of the other big six owners looked at the bidders for Chelsea and spotted a way out....?
 
Putting aside all antipathy towards all things Premier League and big money etc....

.... the unique nature of this situation to me suggests that once the money is paid into a neutral account, the new guy should be left to get on with running Chelsea.....

.... with the wrangling over how that money is distributed dealt with separately, without the need to hold up the first part for the second.
