Chelski's fanbase

Kenyon's words:

"We have seen our fan base go up by 300 percent in the last two years,'' he added to Radio London.

I wonder what the number of fans were to begin with and how they have grown only when they won a championship. Compare that with United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool fans and their history! Remember of any other team that's hated even after winning a championship? Not even Arsenal. Jose and Drogba doesn't help their cause. The players I like personally and respect are Lampard, Cole, Robben and Cech. Don't like how they buy and sell same players over a year.
