Xmas eve, wolves v chelsea

[aytonstrummer]

Pure greed from premier league and TV. Imagine trying to travel if your a fan.

Divorce papers en-route.

 

[TeaCider]

A very uninteresting fixture too.

 

[Rofesleg]

Be a smashing day out.
Buses and trains run normally on Christmas Eve don't they?
Not like on Boxing Day.

 

[MichaelDebeve]

I've got no issue with that.

Love footy over the Christmas period.

Worse for me is Forest fans having to go to Newcastle on Boxing Day at 12.30!

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Divorce papers if I even suggested watching that game on the tele on a Christmas Eve.

There was a time when football was played on Christmas Day.

Quite right too. Chelsea? I think not.

1pm on Christmas Eve sounds great to me. Much more convenient than Boxing Day

No they don't - tend to taper off early evening. It's also a Sunday this year.

Trains home for Chelsea fans after a 1pm Christmas Eve game at Wolves:



There are no trains at all running the same route on Boxing Day.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

An absolutely nothing fixture

 

[Diego]

I will be watching

Good job its a lunchtime kick off then.
If people can get to Boxing Day and New Years Day matches then I'm sure Xmas Eve will be fine.
Sunday matches are played every week so that's irrelevant really.

 

[Rofesleg]

I miss the days of the 'congested Christmas fixture list'. And Easter to a lesser extent.
There used to be a game every day for a fortnight in December back in the day. Sometimes two games, one straight after the other.

Just being a bit picky
But
its the greed of the clubs - they could easily end the madness but really want their cake and eat it.

 

[ForssAwakens]

They’ll be no interest for me on Xmas eve. Day is about being heavily invested with the kids

 

[Aet290204]

This just seemed wrong to me when I saw it earlier.

Another fk you to the fans.

The only thing I want to watch on Christmas Eve is Home Alone or some other dreadful cheesy Christmas movie.

Mulled wine, cheesy straws and watching Patrick Stewart in A Christmas Carol.

I bought one of these a couple of years back and the wife and I end up sozzled every year drinking it.

It is really good.
