Chelsea fans should be allowed to buy FA Cup tickets, says UK lawmaker

The Hindu  

Chelsea fans must not be punished by the sanctions on the club's owner and should be allowed to buy tickets for the FA Cup semifinal clash against Crystal Palace next month, the chair of a UK parliamentary committee said on Monday. Premier League club Chelsea is dealing with government restrictions on its operations after sanctions were imposed on its Russian owner Roman Abramovich following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "It is ridiculous that we face the prospect of a half-full Wembley for the Chelsea v Palace FA cup semi-final," said Knight, chair of the Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Committee. The FA must be allowed to sell tickets to Chelsea fans so long as all money goes to the people of Ukraine."
