There were hardly any Chelsea fans left inside Stamford Bridge when the final whistle blew in their defeat to Nottingham Forest, and supporters are now planning a protest before the club\u2019s biggest game of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite Chelsea having hopes of qualifying for the Champions League still before Monday\u2019s game, they were sent up in smoke after a 3-1 loss against a second-string Forest.<\/p>\n

\n

Woeful defending in the first half left them a mountain to climb, and forced Calum McFarlane to rush Levi Colwill back into first team action.<\/p>\n

Chelsea fans plan protest on day of FA Cup final<\/h2>\n

A sixth consecutive Premier League defeat has turned Stamford Bridge toxic, however fans are looking to turn up the heat on the ownership with another planned protest, this time ahead of the FA Cup final at Wembley.<\/p>\n

\u2018NotAProjectCFC\u2019 have confirmed the supporters will be marching on the walk up to the game against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cJoin us for a protest march from Wembley Park Underground station to the stadium before kick off. A large banner will lead the march, focusing not just on BlueCo, but also the sporting directors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea fans were public with their protests in the lead up to their recent defeat at Stamford Bridge to Manchester United, with Behdad Eghbali the lead figure of their discontent.<\/p>\n

There were only a few hundred in attendance then, although the next protest, as well as the following planned for the home game against Tottenham, can be expected to see many more frustrated faces.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the first thing that needs to change at Stamford Bridge?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Chelsea desperately need to win the FA Cup<\/h2>\n

Despite a relatively comfortable journey to the final, winning the FA Cup would be a timely reminder that Chelsea remain a force at the top end of the table.<\/p>\n

It is also crucial that they deliver some sort of hope for the future for a set of supporters who are close to giving up because of those running proceedings.<\/p>\n

There will be hope that both Colwill and Reece James will be fit to feature for the Blues against Manchester City, who will surely have one eye on the Premier League title race at the same time.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are a club renowned for winning trophies in the 21st century. They simply cannot allow that reputation to slip away.<\/p>\n
