Introducing... The Chelsea Townhall

Welcome to the Chelsea Townhall, a new series where we invite journalists, players and fans together to engage in that rarest of things in modern football - a civilised debate! Hosted by The Blueprint's Ceri Levy, we welcome on Nizaar Kinsella from the Evening Standard to talk through recent events surrounding Chelsea. He is also joined by Mark Meehan from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust, who gives an in-depth perspective on the recent dialogue between CST, the Chelsea ownership and Fan Advisory Board. This episode was recorded live on Twitter/X Spaces and also features The Sideline's panel of Chelsea experts, Garry Hayes, Louis Beneventi, Dan Childs and Cam Roda.  We also opened the Townhall to listeners in the second half of the show, who joined in the conversation to give their views on the current situation surrounding Chelsea, from the pitch to the boardroom and terraces.
