CHELSEA fans were left raging after an issue with the club website left them unable to watch the Conference League qualifier vs Servette.
The Blues are fighting to qualify for the third tier of European football after a disappointing 2023-24 season.
And fans can’t even watch the games on TV, with no rights purchased for the playoff matches.
The Premier League club offered fans the chance to watch their first leg at Stamford Bridge through their website for a one-off payment of £4.99.
And, despite using the same service during pre-season, the Chelsea site was seemingly overwhelmed by fan demand.
Frustrated supporters vented on X after failing to part ways with their fiver to watch the sold-out Stamford Bridge showdown.
One said: “Anyone else completely unable to buy the livestream? Payment gateway just half opens for a second then just doesn’t load…
“Actually mad how there was 6 pre season games to solve this issue, paid for the game yet forced to watch now on phone. Just fix the website with all of our money.”
Another replied: “App is down, can’t even load.”
A third added: “Think website having issues.”

And it wasn’t the only Chelsea gaffe of the day.
Fans were quick to spot Raheem Sterling – frozen out and set to leave Chelsea this summer – was listed as No7 on the matchday programme squad list, despite new £54million signing Pedro Neto taking his number.
Neto came off the bench in the Premier League opening weekend loss against Manchester City wearing the No19.
And he was listed as still being No19 for Thursday’s kick-off… despite starting the game in Sterling’s old No7.
Sterling previously revealed his discontent after the Blues axed him from their squad for the 2-0 loss to City.
He’s since been told by new boss Enzo Maresca that he will never play for the club under his leadership, along with Ben Chilwell.
The ex-England star is now being chased by Aston Villa.
