Fastest Growing Supporter Base
CFCnet magazine is a unique concept - a conscientious and intelligent publication aimed at the massive worldwide support Chelsea FC are now attracting.

In July 2006 Sport + Markt stated that Chelsea’s UK fan base has grown from one million to 3.8 million in three years.

Sport + Markt also stated that Chelsea’s European fan base (including the UK) has grown from 10.6 million to 19.2 million in two years.

Worldwide the fan base is approaching 20 million.

Reach supporters in times of sanitised advertising
Currently Chelsea FC has sanitised sponsorship and advertising arrangements. We can endorse and promote brands, products and services not usually aligned to Chelsea’s army of followers.

Strong Official Relationship
CFCnet enjoys an professional relationship with Chelsea Football Club and the site has run exclusive interviews with (among others) John Terry, Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele during the 2005-06 season.

CFCnet has a seat on the Club’s internal Fans’ Forum, regularly meeting with senior Chelsea executives to discuss the future of the club from the fans’ point of view.

We also provide content for a wide range of media outlets including SKY and the BBC. With such a constant exposure, CFCnet is widely regarded as a unique online destination, committed to the delivery of intelligent comment, as well as being the most popular Chelsea-related resource online.

Unique Route to Market
The magazine will be promoted to CFCnet’s mailing list of just over 11,000 and the site’s 140,000 strong audience of monthly unique visitors.

A large percentage of subscriptions are UK based, (73.95%).

The magazine is readily available in local shops and businesses around the Stadium.

The magazine is also promoted, in time honoured fashion, in the Fulham Broadway area before and after every home game during the 9 months of the season.

How can the CFCnet magazine benefit me?

CFCnet is firmly established as one of the most popular Chelsea Football Club related sites in the world.

CFCnet is 100 per cent unofficial, completely independent and is managed by Chelsea fans for fellow Blues.

The CFCnet web site was founded in 1999 with just six readers in the first few weeks.

CFCnet prides itself on offering Chelsea fans a place for intelligent and respectful debate about the issues that matter to them.

Our site is constantly growing through a combination of quality content and football debate; strategic search engine promotion and Internet marketing; public relations activity and representing the 'fans viewpoint' via the mainstream media.

Over the last few years the CFCnet website, www.cfcnet.co.uk, has become one of the largest and most widely-read unofficial Chelsea FC fans communities on the internet.

The web site currently receives around 75,000 unique visitors per month, has a forum membership of over 7,000 and a mailing list of just over 11,000.

The natural progression was the launch of a print magazine to complement and enrich its offering of the very best Chelsea-related editorial, opinion and debate.

We honestly believe that CFCnet magazine offers an unparalleled opportunity for you to engage directly with the fans of the back-to-back Premiership champions and the most talked about team in the world.
