Chelsea Football Club Ltd.

Chelsea were founded on 14 March 1905 and were elected to the Football League shortly afterwards. In 1982 Chelsea were struggling financially and the stadium freehold had been sold to property developers, meaning the club faced losing its home. At this point it was acquired by Ken Bates for the nominal sum of £1. Bates then formed Chelsea Village plc which was floated on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), but after the 2003 close season purchase by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich (for £140 million) the club was de-listed.

Cambridge United Football Club Ltd.

The club was founded in 1912 as Abbey United, turning professional in 1949 and changing its name to Cambridge United in 1951. It was elected to the Football League proper in 1970, replacing Bradford Park Avenue. Home games are played at the Abbey Stadium which has a capacity of 9,617.
