Chelsea Supporters’ Trust⭐️⭐️

We’re launching a new regular CST membership survey to better understand how Chelsea supporters feel about the issues that matter to them.

The survey will combine a set of core questions that will remain the same each time with additional questions focused on specific issues and developments at the club. We plan to run the survey every 3–4 months, allowing us to build a picture of supporter sentiment over time and identify where views are changing.

The results will help inform CST’s communications and work with Chelsea FC, helping us ensure that the issues we raise not only reflect the views of our members, but also are better communicated with the club.

The first survey is now in the email inboxes of CST members. We’d really encourage all members to take part and help us build a stronger evidence base for representing Chelsea supporters.

The CST has received the below communication from the Met Police ahead of this weekend's match with Tottenham and have been authorised to publish:

"I am writing to inform you that on Saturday 24 October 2026, Live Facial Recognition (LFR) will be deployed during the policing operation for the Chelsea FC v Tottenham Hotspur FC football fixture, which has been assessed as a high-risk match. The deployment follows the established stakeholder engagement approach previously used for football-related LFR deployments.

The two deployment locations will be:

Earl's Court West Brompton
Two LFR vans will be deployed across these locations during the pre-match phase of the operation.

Signage will be deployed outside the zone of recognition in line with MPS LFR policy. We can provide a debrief of the deployment within 72 hours should you require.

The deployment will operate during the designated pre-match period. The watchlist will contain individuals subject to Football Banning Orders relating to either club, together with persons wanted or missing for serious offences and those sought on warrants issued by HMCTS. This reflects the watchlist criteria outlined in the previous stakeholder communication.

The Premier League and relevant football stakeholders are aware of and supportive of the deployment."
