Chelsea fans warned they face ‘prison food’ as opponents for Europa Conference League confirmed
CHELSEA fans face being served grub ‘worse than prison food’ when they play their Europa Conference League play-off at the end of August.
Enzo Maresca’s men must win the two-legged tie against Swiss side Servette if they are to enjoy group stage European football this season.

But the Chelsea faithful should brace themselves for an unappealing bland hotdog when they play in Switzerland.
A picture resurfaced of the paltry portion offered up at Servette after it was shared on popular football food account “Footy Scran” last year.
The photo shows a sausage on its own with no bun and nothing else but a single small piece of bread – no sauce or toppings.
And they’ll have to pay at least £7.20 for the privilege.
At the time of posting, 89.1 per cent of a 18,000 strong poll said they would refuse to eat it.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: “I’ve seen prisons with better food.”
A second said: “Pretty sure that violates the Geneva Convention.”
A third added: “For £7.20 you’d expect a bun or two slices of bread at least FFS.”

Changes to the Premier League for 2024/25
NOTHING stays the same forever.
And that includes the Premier League, which is making a number of tweaks this season.
Team news will now be released 75 MINUTES before kick-off, 15 minutes earlier than had been the case before.
Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.
There’s also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the ‘multiball’ system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides – but not straight away.
