Apologies in advance for the rant and it not specifically Chelsea related. The World Cup; you all know that I believe that FIFA and UEFA are corrupt and put the Mafia on par with the Women’s Istitute. The notion that football is “the People’s game “ and “the beautiful game “ are long gone. Football is the biggest sport in the world and has been hijacked by money and politics.
I am not a great fan of international football but support England and Ireland in tournaments.
Domestically, I worry about club football, supporters who don’t have season tickets struggle to get to games and even to watch games on TV with different providers vying for rights; you will need probably four different subscriptions soon. ”The people’s game “ my ar**.

Totally agree with all of that except there are some scary people in the Women's Institute Fifa looks corrupt and has become politicised Trump given a peace prize the day the US blew a Venzuelan boat out of the water. Infantino a power crazed bloke who loves himself .
Cost wise the tickets are a bad joke no reductions for children crazy growing the bank account not the game.
Football in general has been taken over by money in the not too distant future you will need Sky Amazon BT Paramount / Netflix if you want to see all the club games
I have always felt that club matches should have a very small number of nominally priced tickets so people can have a chance to see their club once probably not worth the clubs efforts.

Could not agree with both of you more.
FIFA are and have always been a corrupt organisation and I'm afraid this will never change, football is for the rich and as Keane once said, for the prawn sandwich brigade.
I fear for fans at our club, due to losing sponsorship revenue, the easiest way to get money in is to increase ticket prices.

Infantino and Trump = two peas in same corrupt pod.
