📸🔵 Pictures and an overview of Chelsea’s protest before Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Southampton:

At 6pm, a sizeable group of supporters gathered outside the Bovril Gate entrance to Stamford Bridge. They arrived well-organised and well-supplied, with large banners featuring cartoon dollar bills and with a full repertoire of songs: against BlueCo, against Clearlake Capital, against Todd Boehly, against Vivid Seats, and against everything they feel Chelsea’s current ownership represents.

Some songs and banners focused on Chelsea’s lack of success since the ownership change. Others referenced the cynical exploitation of supporters. A few people in the crowd cited a firm belief that the gargantuan transfer spending over the last three years is endangering the club’s financial future.

There were also more positive chants: for Jose Mourinho, for Thomas Tuchel and, above all, for former owner Roman Abramovich as they marched down Fulham road.

Estimates of the headcount are perilous. Was it 100 supporters? 200? 300 at its peak? But it was sprawling enough to block traffic for an hour.
