Thomas Tuchel on better Stamford Bridge atmosphere tomorrow vs Real Madrid:
"We need it and we need to be better on the pitch. We're the first to admit it. But we need the crowd to be better. We need everybody on the front foot."

Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston:
"If you look at what has been enabled, with the cup games and the away games and so on, actually we have literally tried to bend over backwards to help the fans."

The CST is deeply disappointed that we are yet to receive a response from @HuddlestonNigel, @NadineDorries or @DCMS on important issues - including clarity on ticketing.
Full Statement โฌ๏ธ
Some good news but why are the Premier League still not allowing home members to the games. Writing to MP's and the PL with little response, needs more pushing
Good progress but where the money is going and the fact no home tickets for PL games prove this is punishment on the Club and not the owner. Emails continue (but might be able to go to Madrid so nicer)
#Chelsea have been granted permission to sell tickets for away games. They can sell tickets for #UCL and FA Cup home and away matches.

Meanwhile in the UK Chelsea fans arenโt even allowed to go to the club shop or buy tickets for a match because apparently itโs funding him...#LetUsWatchOurTeam
The CST welcome this announcement from the FA today.
We look forward to working with the club & authorities to ensure that the strict selling order is upheld and the CFC ticketing policy for the FA Cup Semi-Final is adhered to.
