I know it only affects Chelsea and wolves fans but it will affect us in the coming years. Personally I think it's taking the piss out of supporters and families.

The problem is the trains in this country are so broken, that it can be unaffordable to wait until Sky and BT or whatever they're called now make their picks. The difference between a super advance train fare (12 weeks in advance) and even booking 6 weeks in advance is massive. If I leave it too late, I might not be able to justify the train fare, if I book too early there's a risk I throw my money away.Don't be sucked into the 'I must do every game minsdet'. Took me a few seasons to break the habit and just cherry pick.
Now i prefer it. Wait until you know the time and date of kick off, TV picks, train strikes and family commitments. Then buy a ticket.
I'm fucked off being dictated to by TV etc.
Buy presents, duh.What else are you gonna do on Xmas eve fella?
Instead of watching some Netflix you can now watch chelsea lose at Molineux, no big deal.
Yeah the planning for trains/travel for people is one thing that never seems a consideration for the ones making the fixture decisions.The problem is the trains in this country are so broken, that it can be unaffordable to wait until Sky and BT or whatever they're called now make their picks.

Considering we're not in europe this season it seems wild to me that our fixtures are being moved around even more than if we made the CL!
I'm grateful I can flog my seats on the exchange, I hate missing games but it cushions the blow somewhat.
Yeah but that's going to be the case for most issues really.I guarantee the people saying no or are indifferent are the people that are not regualr match goers.
I voted 'shrug'.I guarantee the people saying no or are indifferent are the people that are not regular match goers.

From a purely selfish point of view Christmas Eve suits me much better than Boxing Day but I totally agree that the wishes of those of us who regularly attend games are being trampled all over by the myriad of tv broadcast deals.
