These people are not really Chelsea football fans
I am really fed up with being surrounded by 'pseudo' Chelsea fans at football matches. I have supported my team (Chelsea) since I was a kid - and whatever they've done, good or bad over the years. I have always stayed loyal to my team and I always will. Isnt that what you do if you are a serious football fan?
Over the last couple of years though, there've been a lot of new faces at the football matches that I go to.
I often wonder what team these people were supporting before, because they certainly werent in abundance at all the Chelsea matches I went to. My gripe is with the way they dont truly support the team. When things are going well there's no problem, but if we go a goal down or don't power through every tackle, these so called supporters just moan and gripe at the players and the team. What kind of support do you call that?
These are not real Chelsea supporters; they are nothing but changelings in my opinion. They support the most fashionable team at any given time. Well the real Chelsea supporters, myself included, don't want or need them.
So let them go off and support Liverpool, Tottenham or even Man United please; that way I can get back to enjoying supporting my team without these moaners!

For the best interest of the team, im gonna say what a lot of chelsea fans aren't but ought to be, Lampard does not fit in the system if Torres and Drogba are to play together. Drogba does not fit the system if Lampard is going to be on the pitch( torres over drogba because we just spent a fortune). lets face it, you can only have so many players on the other side of 30 on the pitch. Another thing, I think we better stop paying quantum sums of money for players before our team ceases to exist.

You will always get this. This is why Blackburn and Bolton can`t fill their modest capacity stadiums. The fans want success and they support Man Utd. and presumably also in future City. As a gooner, I like to have a smattering of celebrity fans, and at least this goes some way to counteracting all the celebrities who support the chavs.

I think that all teams have these so called supporters who moan constantly. I know we have a few at the Emirates. I agree that it's very annoying and wish that they would just get behind the team too. It seems that paying such high prices for tickets puts these people on some sort of power trip which makes them think they have the right to moan constantly! (so annoying that I can't type the name of the team I support as it gets rejected for swearing!!!!!)

You can't support Chelsea if you're a 'real' Chelsea fan.

I never Talk to a real Fan of Chelsea like me and You all , I just see everyday fans of Abramovich's Chelsea ...
Some will say that I'm one of those supporters who like Chelsea since Abramovich and It's true that I became a big fan of chelsea after Abramovich even If I always liked Chelsea ( but It's not easy to be a fan of The old Chelsea when You are 14 now ). But After I realised that The new chelsea was only money , And everybody told me : CHelsea = Money , it's not a club etc...
But After realising that the new Chelsea is only money , I looked the way we always used play , I looked at the history , I looked at alot of old Match of Chelsea and I was facinate ... I just love this club ... And everytime that somebody say CHELSEA = MONEY and that there's no passion I juts want to kill this somebody !!
We Are The Chesea Boys And We Hate The Abramovich Boys !!

I'm a Chelsea fan since not a long Time . But I'm not like the ones you talk about in Your Article . I love Chelsea 'cause I read alot of them Before Abramovich , And I can now say that Abramovich just Ruined everything !! WHat I like best in Chelsea history is the '90 with Vialli , Di Matteo , Zola , Wise , Petrescu , Ruud Gullit ...
And I'm sure that We have alot of not real Supporters 'cause of him , 'cause of Abramovich .
Sorry for my English I live in France since I was 2 Month , But I'm engilsh .

yeah I agree with the writer.. those supporters just follow Fashoinable teams when they achieve something special.. you can compare real Chelsea Supporters in between 1996 and 2006.. we got double of supporters who join with and without passion.. those with passion will always chant chelsea songs whatever the outcome is, and those without passion will always chant ugly words to both manager and players whenever its outcome worse.. it's the momentum between love and like.. those who love is real supporters, those who like is just temporary supporters.
as far as club becomes successful, we could not stop those moaners out of us, but we could separate ourself from them!
be Pride of Chelsea Supporters, we are Pride of London !

You ve try a lot to put this down. Its really true there are many football fans who doesnt know the right club to follow and also. They also mistook Chelsea Football Clubfar so many low profile club that doesnt fit. Many Manchester United Football Club fans also always took advantage of the club past records over Chelsea and many football clubs across England. Its absolutely nonsense. Many Chelsea fans also boost about the current form of the club.Thanks. Wayne Mark

The Russian will soon realise that money cannot buy heart and passion. Those attributes are what the other 3 top clubs have that Chelski do not.

If I were a Chelsea fan I would be glad of anybody that went to a game. Their tickets usually go out to general sale, something that is unheard of at the big clubs. Chelsea are an average club that won the lottery. They are not and will never be the big club that Kenyon tries to claim they are. The only clubs in this country that can really call themselves 'big' are Man Utd, Liverpool and Newcastle Utd. The Gunners are a close second to these three. All of those clubs sell out all of their games. Chelsea want to move to a big new stadium. What is the point when they cannot fill the one they have got? Chelsea 'real' fans should enjoy these good times as there are plenty of bad ones to come once the russian factor implodes. I sympathise with them as this current organisation is going to destroy their club.

real fans will pay the high prices to see there favourite team win the league for the third time. the real fans you have been talking about are the fans who used to live local and go because they the tickets were. many years ago. football has changed so the fans change. simple as that

chelsea re going down the same road man united did in the 90's when a lot of their real fans got priced out. Its the baggage that comes with being successful!

Chelsea do not want true fans !
They want a faceless middle class spud who will bring his overweight spoilt brats to spend his disposable income in the club shop
