The 2023/24 Upfront Awards!

On the final day of the WSL season, Chloe and Rachel spoke to a range of Chelsea voices around Old Trafford about Emma Hayes, what she means to them, and her and the club’s future.
They catch up with Mark and Prue, two of the founders of the Chelsea Women’s Supporters Group who remember times when there was just four(!) of them turning up at away games. We also chat with Tracy Brown, chair of Chelsea Pride, and hear from Jessy Parker Humphreys about exactly what kind of hole Hayes will leave behind. Come join us for the ride!
