9 d. ago Beyond the apathy: the Manchester City and Chelsea fans off to the Club World Cup

Many were put off by sky-high prices for the month-long tournament but some found themselves unwilling to miss itThe Club World Cup, it is fair to say, has not captured the imaginations of domestic Manchester City and Chelsea supporters. Very few are talking about the tournament and, it appears, only true diehards will make the trip to the USA for the month-long end-of-season endurance test.Fifa slashed the prices of match tickets after poor uptake from fans and the UK broadcaster showing the tournament will be Channel 5, the home of World Seniors Snooker.
