Chelsea fans fume after being blitzed with Sir Jim Ratcliffe-style ticket price hikes and new booking fees
CHELSEA fans slammed the club for 'exploiting' supporters with ticket and membership price rises. The Chelsea Supporters' Trust will be joining the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign after a member survey saw near 90 per cent vote in favour of it. 3 3 Blues fans are reeling from a triple whammy of season ticket hikes, a new £60 'priority' membership and new booking fees on every seat. The Football Supporters' Association launched the campaign last year. And a CST spokesperson said: 'Chelsea FC is alienating a large part of our core fanbase. 'This should be a huge wake-up call to the owners and senior leadership team within the club. 'Not only is it ethically wrong to exploit the loyalty of the lifeblood of our club but it is strategically short-sighted.' Chelsea have been approached for comment. Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe introduced a flat-rate minimum of £66 per seat for non-season ticket holders. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS A new match categorisation model has been introduced that will charge some members up to £97 for top fixtures. Concession prices have also been axed for all. And despite the Red Devils' woeful season, there has been a five per cent increase in season ticket prices for adults. Though those for under-16s will be frozen at the current amount. 3

India coach provides update on Jasprit Bumrah availability against England: ‘We won't change it'
India coach Gautam Gambhir has revealed they will not divert from their strategy to play Jasprit Bumrah for only another two Tests, despite the rest of the bowling attack lacking a consistent cutting edge against England in the first Test. Ben Duckett 's 149 inspired England to an improbable chase of 371 to down India in the first of the five-match series, England's second highest successful pursuit ever. It was just seven runs off the target they reeled in against the same opponents at Edgbaston in 2022 at the outset of the Ben Stokes-Brendon McCullum era. 'We won't change the plans,' Gambhir said. 'To manage his [Bumrah's] workload is more important. Before he came on this tour, it was already decided he would play three Tests but let's see how his body turns out. 'We haven't decided which two other Test matches he's going to play. We absolutely have the bowling attack to take 20 wickets. We pick the squad on trust, not on hope. 'We have inexperienced bowlers but they will keep getting better. On day five we were in a position to win this Test match.' Duckett followed the likes of Ian Botham in 1981 and Stokes himself in 2019 into Headingley folklore with a titanic fourth-innings knock to underpin a five-wicket win and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Jasprit Bumrah was wicketless and while India rallied to leave England 253 for four when Duckett and Harry Brook were out off successive balls, Joe Root's 53 not out and Jamie Smith's 44 not out got them home with 14 overs still available. While India will lick their wounds and look to regroup at Edgbaston for the second Test, starting next Wednesday, Stokes can feel vindicated after his decision to bowl first at the toss came under scrutiny. India racked up 359 for three in glorious batting conditions after the first day and were at one stage 430 for three – they were also 333 for four in the second innings – but England fought back both times. 'It's a good job Test cricket is played over five days,' Stokes said. 'You make a decision and you don't know what is going to happen. Both teams had a lot of luck go their way.' England's last visit also produced another nail-biting finale, with Chris Woakes and Mark Wood bringing the 2023 Ashes alive by getting Stokes' side home in pursuit of 251 with three wickets to spare. 'We've been pretty good at this ground for the last few years,' Stokes added. 'We've got some good memories here and it's one more to add. 'Everyone knows what cricket is about, it's about scoring more runs than the opposition. When you strip it all back, that's it. We try to keep everything simple and calm as we possible can. 'When you're chasing totals like that, how you are in the dressing room is very important.'
