Many transport operators offer a scaled-down or skeleton timetable over the Christmas period, including early timetable finishes on Christmas Eve, and indeed there are currently just two direct services from Wolverhampton to London available after this fixture. We are incredibly disappointed that the Premier League have decided to hold a Premier League game on Christmas Eve without consulting with disabled supporters. Christmas Eve has been left alone by the decision-makers inside television for 28 years – and we call for that to continue. Common sense should prevail. The whole decision-making process needs a complete re-think, the constant late announcements of televised games, the total disregard of the impacts on travel to supporters attending games due to scheduling amendments We urge the Premier League and broadcasting partners to start considering the impact to supporters when making these decisions. Put fans first and say no to Christmas Eve football.

The supporters are never considered during these times when the broadcasters select their TV games and this is another demonstration that supporters are the furthest from their minds.

Public transport is not at its best, and millions of people are travelling to be with family for Christmas. According to English Heritage, the name Christmas (Christ’s Mass) was first recorded in England in 1038. Sky has been showing football since 1992. Which is more important? Whilst it is Wolves and Chelsea fans this year, it could be any of us in the future. We all love football – but let’s keep Christmas Eve football-free. It is disappointing that the decision to hold a match on Christmas Eve has been made and fully support the FSA in their response to this.

Players, club and hospitality staff, public service workers, emergency workers, people who work in the media – they will all have to make themselves available and change their plans. We ask that Sky Sports and the Premier League look to the ghosts of Christmas past. Supporters don’t want Christmas Eve football. Don’t make it our Christmas future. After all, even Scrooge saw sense in the end. This Christmas Eve fixture is the ‘final straw’ in a long list of Premier League, and broadcaster, snubs for match going supporters.

Whatever the case may be, we ask them all to urgently rethink their plans to play this match on Christmas Eve and we fully support the FSA for taking this up.
