If you thought football stadiums were only for watching matches, think again. Stamford Bridge recently turned into a spectacle as a strange promotion for the upcoming film ‘Argylle’ took center stage, leaving Chelsea fans less than thrilled.
An Unwelcome Circus
During a match, a group of men, sporting matching swept haircuts and green velvet jackets, were given prime seats behind the Chelsea dugout. As the game unfolded on the pitch, the group attracted attention by standing up and posing. They repeated this act three times within the first 20 minutes, at one point pretending to read a book and then checking their watches. To add to the eccentricity, they even started brushing their teeth.
Fans React
Chelsea fans wasted no time expressing their displeasure, referring to the spectacle as a circus on social media. Inside the stadium, the crowd could be heard shouting “sit down!” It’s safe to say that this promotional stunt didn’t impress the loyal supporters. One fan summed it up by saying, “This Argylle thing is the most boring advertisement ever. Bit of a circus at the moment.”
All About ‘Argylle’
The film ‘Argylle’ boasts a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill and is directed by Matthew Vaughan. Rumor has it that one of Todd Boehly’s companies is producing the film. The presence of pop star Dua Lipa, also starring in the film, added to the excitement. Even Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was seen sporting an Argylle patch on the shoulder of his coat, further fueling speculation.
