Canine football fan denied season ticket

Competition winner not allowed inside stadium

A mongrel crowned biggest canine football fan has been denied a season ticket to watch his favourite team play.

Max, a lifelong Chelsea Football Club fan, was announced winner of the competition by sports website TVBet.co.uk. His prize was meant to be a season ticket of choice for both him and his owner.

However, Stamford Bridge's ticketing office explained that only qualified guide dogs are allowed into the Chelsea stadium.

The website has said it is looking into finding an alternative prize for Max and his owner, Terri, but fears it will be difficult to come up with anything that is as good as a season ticket.

"If guide dogs are allowed in, why not a lovely little mongrel who lives and breathes Chelsea?" said Terri.

"Perhaps Chelsea are afraid of their players being bitten after what happened to Branislav Ivanovic recently. If that's the case, they needn't worry with Max as his bark is worse than his bite!"

According to Terri, Max never misses a televised Chelsea game and even barks his predicted score before kick off.

He even growls whenever Sir Alex Ferguson is on screen, said the owner.
