A convoluted tale, but the gist is that Chelsea control Vitesse Arnhem through Abramovich associates.
'Chelsea and Vitesse have always said they have no formal ownership link but a series of emails reveals the key involvement of senior Stamford Bridge executives in the 2010 takeover of the Eredivisie club'
Preseason I went out to Holland to watch us play PSV Eindhoven on the Internet in a pub (that's the short story). The next day I went back to Driel , where the PSV game was originally scheduled, to see Vitesse play Ostende. There were 6 Rangers fans and 5 Ostende in attendance. The Belgians scored a last minute winner. One QPR fan said 'every cloud has a silver lining as Abramovich owns Vitesse'. It made up slightly for not being allowed into the PSV game.
