Chelsea H -Christmas Eve ?

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Has this been confirmed anywhere yet? I can't see anything on Wolves website or Twitter and nothing is scheduled for Christmas Eve on the Sky schedule.

Think this is a classic case of leak the idea, gauge the response, if it's not too bad announce it. I mean it's noticeable that there are loads of Saturday fixtures, but somehow it seems to be known that it will be ours that moves. That already sounds like divide and conquer.

When will they make a formal announcement on this?

Good to know, thank you

 

[Southdownswolf]

Premier League have announced that it will take place Christmas Eve @ 13:00

 

[SuperGran]

Bring it on looking forward to it

 

[MikeH68]

Disgrace and **** off

 

[Ned]

For some guys/girls this will be the best Christmas Eve ever, for most it will be an absolute disgrace.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Great for me, but awful for anyone travelling or already made other plans

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Thats the wife with no Xmas presents this year then.

 

[Titch]

No mention if our boxing day game has moved?

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Money grabbing sods.

Absolutely disgraceful for all those Wolves fan who come from afar and the visiting supporters, whose last train will no doubt be around 5pm to hazard a guess.

The FA and The Premier League needs Reform from top to bottom.

 

[SuperGran]

No mention if our boxing day game has moved?

It’s moved to 27th

 

[UEAwolf]

On a personal note, it's a great time for me - like the idea of a Christmas Eve fixture more so than, say, a Boxing Day one. And I travel 50-60 miles. But appreciate those travelling from further afield/ by public transport will find it difficult.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Shove it

 

[AaronH02056]

It is a shame that Christmas Eve is the only day some people can spend time with their loved ones as opposed to a now completely clear Saturday the day before or Boxing Day which is a bank holiday for most.

 

[Bostin]

They can have my ticket back for this one.

**** right off

And when the rail unions announce a strike or even trains are cancelled for other reasons? I wouldn’t take a chance.

 

[SB_Upper]

We play on the 24th, 27th & 30th.

3 games in 6 days.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

I'm actually more p****d off our boxing day game has been moved

 

[SuperGran]

I'm actually more p****d off our boxing day game has been moved

Hate not having a Boxing Day game

 

[Brizzlewolf]

Absolute ****e.....Happy Christmas you money grabbing ****ers.....

 

[Spitfire]

Everyone should stay on the concourse for the first ten minutes, then sing **** the premier league as we walk in en masse.

 

[floydstreet]

ridiculous
I will go, but thats because I live relatively local and some of my family come with me.

But seriously for chelsea fans and wolves fans living far away

Ridiculous

Good!

While for some it makes no difference (I guess I can include myself in that) it’s unfair on supporters who travel.

I’m unhappy about it, as Christmas Eve is about visiting family and preparing for Christmas Day. For anyone with kids this is ridiculous, Christmas is for them. A 1 o’clock kick off is no good for anyone.

 

[IANWILSON]

Result. I'm actually up for this.

 

[Southdownswolf]

I'm on call Christmas Eve, so won't be able to travel up .
**** the premier League

 

[old jacks thumb]

Superb.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Shocker for the Chelsea fans with young families

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Personally not fussed.

The more ridiculous one for me is moving Brighton Away to a Monday night.

That's because we're away.. Chelsea fans having to travel to Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve is terrible.

Brighton on a Monday is fine for me living nearby

 

[BillyBoots]

Here's an idea premier league publish the fixtures a month before season then leave the buggers alone.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Here's an idea premier league publish the fixtures a month before season then leave the buggers alone.

It’ll never catch on.

 

[SakosRightFoot]

Hate both the Xmas Eve game and Brighton on a Monday. Have to seriously consider not going to both. Surely it’s about time fans were more consulted over fixture changes, it can’t be right a tv company like TNT can move our game to that time slot without compensating fans, not even like it’s an understandable pick it’s just ticking a box for them

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Only 146 hours of recovery

Premier League to play first Christmas Eve game since 1995

A Premier League match will be played on Christmas Eve for the first time in 28 years when Wolves host Chelsea at Molineux.

www.bbc.co.uk

Wolves

Chelsea (h) 24 Dec (13:00)

Brentford (a) 27 Dec (19:30)[78 hrs 30 mins]

Everton (h) 30 Dec (15:00)[67 hrs 30 mins]

146 hrs (14)

 

[WickedWolfie]

Well l for one won't be there. I'm not prepared to risk actually getting to spend Christmas with my OH and daughter at the behest of a bunch of money grabbing TV execs.

Some might say that it would be karma if the folk who made this decision have a bloody awful Christmas themselves.

 

[fleck1]

With it being being a 4 hour round trip and having two small children, Christmas eve rules me out. I can see why a lot will like the idea, I know a few years ago id have definitely have been one of them.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

More ****ed off about Brighton, on TNT, being a Monday night, having moved from the 13th.

 

[Bugsy911]

I won't be able to go now you bunch of ****ing ****ers changing it.
