Epsom and Ewell provide such an incredible community to our adults and children and it's horrid that big teams and acting as barriers to this.

Scandalous that a pro club kicks a grassroots club off pitches & that the school allows it.

Don’t let the big bucks of Chelsea kick the butts of local children.

Grass Roots should always be prioritised.

The Belnheim High School venue should be available for EECFC and not just reserved for Elite development. Football should be for all!

Taking this facility away from local grass roots football is just another example of 'money talking'. The government has just announced a plan to increase facilities for grassroots improvement and this does the opposite - a relationship lasting over 20 years gone because there's a better deal on offer - Where's the loyalty?

Do the right thing Blenheim! Honour your commitments already registered with an establishment that is grassroots and servant to many, some even attending your school! Show some moral values and don't play the blame game with Chelsea with EECFC stuck as piggy in the middle. #dotherightthing

That is terrible gone for status symbol club rather than helping a junior club. Very bad PR by school. Change your decision or are you all about money

This is disturbing and I cannot understand how the school's board of governors would permit the prioritisation of a Premier League club over local children and risk alienating future potential students. The opening line of the School Vision on their website is "'To be recognised as an outstanding school at the heart of the community" which is quite clearly not being followed in this important matter.

Pushing grassroots teams out. Find your own pitch and play and pay for that with the ridiculous amount of money you no doubt have coming in. Shame on you. How is this promoting kids playing.

This is simply not right and Chelsea FC should fix it immediately - before it becomes a PR nightmare for the club.

Shame on Blenheim High School. I wonder if Chelsea have extended hospitality to any of the school staff?

I'm very disappointed with the stance Blenheim school and Chelsea have taken on this. Both profess to support grass root football. For the school to give no notice to a club they have hosted for 20 years shows a total lack of integrity and contradicts what they say they are trying to achieve.

I’m a youth football coach and although I live miles away from this club, this decision is madness. Let’s hope the school reconsiders its stance and sees sense. Good luck

Local facilities for local people
