The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust says season ticket prices at Stamford Bridge have increased by an average of 17 percent in the last two years and members are angry at new booking fees, decreasing concessions and a £60 “priority” membership.

They have now surveyed their members and the CST says it is joining the Football Supporters' Association's Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign.
