Fans chanted in unison while others used megaphones to amplify their message, creating a charged atmosphere ahead of kickoff.
The protest took place just hours before Chelsea’s crucial fixture against Manchester United, intensifying the pre-match atmosphere.
BlueCo, led by Todd Boehly alongside Clearlake Capital, has faced mounting criticism despite heavy investment in the squad.
As supporters made their way into the stadium, the message remained consistent and defiant.
“We love the club, and that’s why we’re speaking out,” one fan said.
They don’t care about ‘us’ 🤦🏻♂️ not the brightest are they
