Statement from the Chelsea Supporters Trust regarding policing of our FA Cup game against Charlton last season.

Following the events after Chelsea’s FA Cup tie at Charlton on 10 January, 2026, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST), working alongside the Chelsea Supporters Group (CSG), the Chelsea Supporters Club (CSC), and the Chelsea Disabled Supporters Association (CDSA), sought a full explanation from the Metropolitan Police regarding the treatment of Chelsea supporters.
After extensive engagement, including raising the concerns reported to us by supporters and pressing for a formal review, we have received the Metropolitan Police’s response, which we are publishing in full below.
While the Metropolitan Police maintain that the operational tactics used on the night were necessary to prevent disorder, they have acknowledged a number of shortcomings.
We welcome the fact that these concerns have been recognised and that a number of improvements have been identified ahead of future fixtures. We expect the commitments outlined by the Metropolitan Police to be implemented in full.
We would like to thank the many supporters who contacted us following the match to share their experiences. Their detailed accounts enabled us to robustly challenge what happened and ensure that supporters’ voices were heard throughout this process.
As supporter organisations, we will continue to engage with the Metropolitan Police, Chelsea Football Club and other relevant authorities to ensure these lessons are acted upon and that supporters are treated with the respect, communication and care they deserve.
Met Police Statement
As outlined previously, this fixture was subject to evolving intelligence, indicating a credible risk of post-match disorder between supporter groups. In response, policing tactics were adapted dynamically during the match to prevent a breach of the peace. The decision to hold away supporters at the conclusion of the game was made in real time, based on updated risk assessments, and was considered necessary, proportionate, and ultimately effective in preventing disorder and

ensuring public safety.

Communication
A consistent theme across the concerns raised relates to communication. The debrief found that messaging on the night was not as clear, timely, or coordinated as it should have been. This is an area the police, club and partners will look to address going forward. This impacted supporters’ understanding of police activity and contributed to frustration.

Welfare and Facilities
The decision to hold supporters outside the stadium, rather than within it, was influenced by the dynamic and unplanned nature of the situation, coupled with limitations in pre-identified holding options. It is acknowledged that this resulted in reduced access to facilities such as toilets, shelter, and refreshments. This is an area for improvement.
Crowd Management and Movement
Measures such as controlled release and cordons are designed to prevent surges, maintain order, and reduce the risk of opposing groups mixing. However, the debrief identified that greater clarity, planning, and communication are required to ensure these measures minimise distress to supporters.

Support for Vulnerable Individuals
Concerns regarding vulnerable individuals, including those wearing sunflower lanyards, are taken seriously. The debrief reinforces the importance of improved awareness and consideration of vulnerability within operational planning and officer briefings.

Officer Briefing and Local Awareness
It is recognised that some officers were not sufficiently familiar with local geography or transport options. This highlighted the need for improved briefing and stronger integration with transport and local authority partners.
Actions and Improvements
In response to the learning identified, the following actions are being progressed:
Earlier and more frequent multi-agency planning for high-risk fixtures
