Blues blast fans

Chelsea last night accused a section of their support of “embarrassing” the club by not observing the silence in memory of the Hillsborough disaster ahead of their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

The Blues issued a statement condemning the behaviour of “a very small minority of fans” before their 5-1 win over Tottenham.

A statement on the club’s website read: “Chelsea Football Club is extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club today by not honouring the moment’s silence before kick-off.
