Chelsea supporters protested against their club’s involvement in the foundation of the Super League, making their voices heard before the 0-0 draw against Brighton at Stamford Bridge on April 20. Two days after the proposals came to light, fans blocked Fulham Road outside the stadium and delayed kick-off in the Premier League match in protest against what the Chelsea Supporters Trust described as “the ultimate betrayal”. Just hours later, Chelsea backed out of the breakaway league alongside the five other English clubs involved, causing it to collapse after just 48 hours. Since then fans of Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and, in particular, Manchester United have continued to protest and apply pressure to their clubs in an attempt to bring about meaningful change.
