John Terry responds to Chelsea fan's complaint over Mourinho's recent criticism of home support

Following Jose Mourinho’s comments criticizing the Chelsea supporter for their poor home support during their Premier League tie against QPR, an outburst among fans was certainly expected.

“I think the man responsible for the lights was in the same mood as the crowd, because everybody was sleeping,” Mourinho said following the match. “He took 20 minutes to understand that it was dark, but I took 30 minutes to understand that the stadium was not empty. When we scored was when I realised ’Woah, the stadium is full! Good’.”

If not exactly an outburst, supporter Joe Davies posted a comment on Terry’s Instagram profile, expressing his disappointment with the Portuguese’s comments.

Joe Davies’s comments to Terry.

Davies wrote, “Hi JT, I thought I would write to you because I feel you're someone in the club who would understand, because you're a fan like us and many of us believe something needs to be done. As much as we all love Jose, his comments yesterday was not called for and was completely bang out of order for people who pay ridiculous prices each week to watch Chelsea.”

He then goes on to bring the problems that the supporters have to go through to light, stating, “Here lies the first issue, pricing. It has become so expensive following football now that many proper fans are being priced out of going to Stamford bridge and being replaced by tourists who of course won't be singing or making noise.”

“Another one problem is the stewarding, the problem is as soon as people try to stand up and make an atmosphere (you're obviously not gonna have atmosphere sitting down) we get threatened with ejection if we don't sit down so no one wants to make an atmosphere now in fear of getting chucked out.”

“Another problem is the away fans in the famous shed end. If the away fans were in the west upper or East upper then they wouldn't be heard as much as we have a bigger platform to make noise. There are many solutions to the atmosphere problem like singing sections, safe standing, cheaper tickets but the club has done nothing. As you know John our away support is brilliant, because we are standing all game, not being threatened to be kicked out and tickets are generally cheaper.”

He conitunies, “The whole point i am trying to get across is ths all well and good Jose slagging off our support but will he actually do anything about it? Coz down thing needs to be done rather than just slagging off people who pay loads of money to be told to sit down or face ejection from the stadium.”

Terry’s quick response.

Davies’ message was heard by Terry who was quick to respond to the fan stating that he will be contacting him personally soon. Maybe this is why Terry is one of the most respected and loved players to have ever worn the Chelsea shirt.
