Chelsea continues our pledge to support our Armed Forces this season by donating thousands of seats to the charity Tickets For Troops.

Tickets For Troops, which also has the support of the FA and the Football League, is a charity dedicated to providing top cultural, musical and sporting tickets to our soldiers, sailors and airmen.

Since launching last year it has provided over 200,000 top tickets to events nationwide and over 60,000 members of the Armed Forces have registered with the scheme.

Thousands of tickets have been made available to all serving military personnel and to veterans who have been discharged through injury since 2001, at the new Tickets for Troops website.

Tickets have been donated for top football and cricket matches, boxing contests, snooker, horse-racing events, theatre, and both classic and rock music concerts around the country.

Chelsea was the first football club to support the initiative, with chairman Bruce Buck being a patron for the charity. Last year the club donated more than 150 tickets for the Remembrance Sunday clash against Manchester United, a move that was organised through the British Legion.

'Chelsea Football Club, its staff, players and fans proudly supports our boys and the brave work they do,' said Buck.

'Tickets for Troops is a politically neutral and independent organisation, it is purely in the interests of supporting our Armed Forces, which we are always more than happy to do.'

The charity boasts other patrons from the world of entertainment and sports, including singers Joss Stone and James Blunt, actress Joanna Lumley, ex-England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio and former England footballer Gary Lineker.

Tickets For Troops chairman, Lord Marland said: 'Tickets For Troops has benefited from a great wave of generosity from our ticket donors who have wanted to demonstrate their support and show their appreciation for the dedication and commitment of the marvellous men and women of our Armed Forces.

'I would like to thank Chelsea for their generous support of our troops during these difficult times.'

Tickets are made available exclusively to eligible personnel at www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk, which has teamed up with ticket distributor www.seetickets.com. A donation of £1 will be requested for every ticket, which will be distributed across service charities.

Troops are encouraged to go online and register at www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk to take advantage of the fantastic tickets available for our Armed Forces.
