Chelsea wish to make fans aware that controlled pyrotechnics will be used at tonight’s match at Stamford Bridge.

We understand that some individuals may have unique sensitivities. Chelsea advise fans to be stationed in the concourse in the 10 minutes leading up to kick-off.

Please take care. 💙

Yellow background with orange arrows. Orange electrical tape at the top with bold black text "It is time to #UnlockTransportAccess". Followed by the text "What does that mean? 1. Removing time restrictions on travel 2. A national bus pass that ends the postcode lottery 3. Eligibility criteria based on the barriers we face, not on social security 4. A single, accessible application process designed with, not for, Disabled people.

Transport For All are reimagining what public transport can be. Open, inclusive, and built for everyone.

Freedom to travel means freedom to live our lives.
To work, study, see friends and loved ones.

Disabled people are shut out by a concessions system that doesn’t work.

Three Disabled people are outside a London Underground station. The first is a blonde woman in a colourful dress with her guide dog. The next person has short brown hair and is wearing blue dungarees and a green top. They are a wheelchair user. The next person is a woman with light brown skin, wearing a grey cardigan and black and white dress. The picture has a jagged frame and the words 'Be part of the campaign to #UnlockTransportAccess'. Graphic yellow arrows point to the picture.

Osteoporosis is a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break.

It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break (fracture).

We have knowledge of a number of difficulties supporters with disabilities experienced at the City Ground yesterday.

These barriers are unacceptable.

We endeavour to investigate why these challenges occurred and to ensure they aren't repeated.
