Come and meet the #cpo directors! Our next #meetandgreet will be before #chelseafc play #bournemouthfc on the 10th of October at #stamfordbridge 💙 See you there!
This is something that makes our club unique. Everyone who claims to be a Chelsea supporter should know who they are, why they exist, what they do, and (probably) more importantly what they don’t do.
If you have a question, or have operated under the false assumption that this organization has somehow held our club back, please stop in. Ask them. Challenge them. Find out directly from the source instead of relying on something you heard. You’ll come away a more educated Chelsea fan.

"Democracy requires participation" a good piece worth reading on Chelsea Pitch Owners - "it is the democratic safeguard every fanbase craves" it is also been replicated in the Football Governance Act too. So buy a CPO share.

Hey @Wegmans
You used to be great. Been a customer for decades. Used to drive hours just to shop at one of your stores before you opened locally.
But today I buy a bag of broccoli & cauliflower florets, open it up, and notice it smells bad. I check the “best by” date and it says September 24. That was two days ago. Is this some new policy?
What part of my @X algorithm has flooded my feed with the posts of absolute morons?
Hey @DIRECTV @DIRECTVhelp
Appreciate the abysmal customer service. Over 20 years with your most expensive package, over 29 years with a dish on my roof, well over $65.000 paid to you over the years. You renege on a quoted deal after one day and I get hung up on by an agent.
Hey @FedEx @FedExHelp
Not for the first time, you have delivered a package to the wrong house/address, and your support rep to resolve the problem is less than useless.
The delivery confirmation picture is not my house. It’s a picture of a package dropped on an identifiable porch.

Selling players to balance the books & hide years of financial mismanagement. culprits face no accountability,fans are expected to accept the consequences. PE treats football clubs like line items on a spreadsheet. They don’t understand football, and they have no place in it.
And suddenly, all the Americans
who hadn’t the foggiest idea what offside was or how to look up the rule on their own, has become an expert and knows obscure FIFA Article 27.

As an American, who is also an actual fan of football (⚽️): will you people please, for the love of god, shut the fuck up?
I promise, those of us (from any nation) who actually watch the sport, do not give a fuck what relative tourists think of the game’s rules. And those of us who are fans from the US, don’t want guilt by association from those tourists thinking they know better than those who watch every goddamn week.
If offsides is too weird or complex for you, that’s fine. Cheer for the red white and blue; celebrate the event; have fun— but please, shut the fuck up about the rules.
Soccer fans defending offsides by arguing other sports have lines and rules against slightly going over them. Yes, but crucially: THEY’RE PAINTED ON THE FIELD. They’re not invisible lines constantly moving throughout the flow of the game for reasons beyond the offense’s control.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
American football's line of scrimmage is an invisible line, not painted on the field, that shifts position based on the ball's spot after each play. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_s…

With our in-field fly rule, fair catch free kick , and utter incomprehensibility of what constitutes a foul in the NBA, we are in no position to lecture the world about offsides in soccer.

Currently, Germany would play Scotland in Boston to open the R32. There might not be enough beer in the state of Massachusetts to support those two fan bases if that comes to pass.
