| Swedish club give VIP day to lonely away fan Posted: 03 May 2013 01:48 AM PDT Clubs are often (and deservedly) accused of ignoring the fans, but that isn’t an accusation you can label at Swedish club Brommapojkarna.

And Chelsea’s stewards did little to change that during last night’s Europa League victory over FC Basel. Their boss had obviously told them to walk round the pitch without stopping. And walk round the pitch without stopping they did, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they [...] |
