A number of fans standing in those areas, which are marked out by blue lines, is proving a growing concern affecting access to the bays and the view of the pitch for fellow supporters using wheelchairs.

This is the case for the areas at the front of both the East Stand and West Stand lower tiers and it is especially prevalent during the players’ pre-match warm-up on the pitch. If you are standing pitchside during a warm-up, please move aside for wheelchair users to watch the players as well.

Our desire is for Stamford Bridge to be a great place for all to view the action and we ask you to please play your part.
