Great news! We got some proper old skool Saturday 3pm games for match going fans and not being moved for TV companies and their armchair army!

Oooh now I can book my trip for the Burnley match, on the assumption I will be able to get a ticket

Potential for Everton game to move

NEWSMON 10 JUL 2017

Owing to Everton's involvement in the Europa League qualification process, there is a possibility our home fixture against the Toffees will be rescheduled. 

Everton enter the Europa League in the third qualifying round and if they win that tie (which is due to be played on 27 July/3 August) they will qualify for the play-off round. 

Those two games are on Thursday 17 August and Thursday 24 August, and with our game against Ronald Koeman's side due to take place on Saturday 26 August, we would expect it to be moved should Everton qualify for the play-off round. 

Until we have confirmation of this, tickets for the game will not be put on sale as planned.

A few more fixtures in October and November moved for TV:

Home to Watford, 8.00pm on Monday, 23 October. Sky Sports

Away to Bournemouth, 5.30pm on Saturday, 28 October. BT Sport.

Home to Manchester United, 4.30pm on Sunday, 5 November. Sky Sports

Away to Liverpool, 5.30pm on Saturday, 25 November. BT Sport.

Worth noting Watford at home will move back to the Saturday if we beat Forest in the Carrabao Cup

Supporters Groups unhappy a proposal to play games on Christmas Eve. Don't blame them. What with other commitments on that day and that train services close early on that day.

SUPPORTER GROUPS SAY NO TO CHRISTMAS EVE FOOTBALL

2ND OCTOBER 2017 DAVID CHIDGEY LEAVE A COMMENT

Football supporters know all too well the impact that changes to the fixture schedule have. Often plans are rearranged and expense incurred when a match is moved to accommodate cup football or for TV scheduling. We have very little, if any say, despite being the most put upon stakeholders in the game. Representatives from the Premier League Fans Group have recently started to meet with Sky Sports and BT Sport to put forward supporter views on these changes and to look at ways we can mitigate this impact.

 

However the news that has broken this week, that Sky plan to fill their ‘Super Sunday’ TV slots, despite this falling on Christmas Eve, is hugely disappointing and frustrating for supporters. Whilst the discussion has been dominated by the likelihood of an Arsenal v Liverpool fixture on 24th December, choices have not yet been finalised and any club is still available to be chosen for a televised game.

 

This is wrong and no fixtures should be scheduled for that day. Supporters would be faced with the unenviable task of deciding between family, friends and loved ones and any pre-existing plans for that time of year or continuing their loyalty and support for their club.

 

Club staff would also face similar difficulties. Public transport shuts down early on Christmas Eve and travel may be at a greater expense. Made to work, their plans and priorities are challenged in pursuit of a TV programme. These staff aren’t the well paid millionaires, but the catering, hospitality, stewarding and security personnel required to fulfil a fixture. This extends further to police, local authority and others who will have to work to facilitate such a change. 

 

None of these, like supporters, share in the Premier League riches or have Premier League style lifestyles and wages. This would be more take, with little given back.

 

This must not be allowed to happen, not this season and not in future seasons. We are more than willing to work with the broadcasters and the league to avoid such pitfalls for the benefit of all. After all, we don’t want this to be the ghost of Christmas future.

 

Now though, the decision makers must show this is indeed the season of goodwill after all. Sky, the Premier League and the clubs have to recognise that whilst there is a TV slot available, football on Christmas Eve is unacceptable and is a step too far.

 

Supporters should clearly be included within any decision-making process in relation to such drastic changes and this is not something that is being taken lightly. We have already successfully campaigned for cheaper away tickets and will continue our work to ensure that match-going fans are treated as fairly as possible.

Agree, some of the kick-off times are crazy. Goodness knows what time Newcastle fans will have to leave home to make the game, especially if they want a couple of beers before the match starts.

As for West Ham away, that night me and about seven or eight of the guys I go to the games with are going to a Christmas party in a club in Hornchurch, Essex. We've been going to a Christmas Party there for the last few years. There will be a lot of West Ham fans there. Could be an interesting night if we beat the Pikeys earlier in the day and start singing Chelsea songs after we've had a few beers!

The fixture times have been worse than ever since Sky and BT started sharing the games, they have been all over the place and a complete mess.

Three games in April moved for TV

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2018/02/three-fixtures-moved-for-live-broadcast.html

Our Premier League games in April against West Ham, Southampton and Swansea will be shown live on television. 

The home fixture with the Hammers has moved back a day to Sunday 8 April and will now kick-off at 4.30pm. Sky Sports will broadcast the game, which is subject to change should we be in Champions League action the following Tuesday. 

Our next league test after that is at Southampton, and the game at St Mary's will now start at 12.30pm on Saturday 14 April and will also be shown live on Sky. 

The final fixture amendment in April is for the trip to Swansea which remains on Saturday 28 April but with the new kick-off time of 5.30pm. BT Sport will be broadcasting that game. 

In addition, our away game at Burnley, which had to be postponed because of our progression in the FA Cup, is likely to be rescheduled on or around 19 March. 

Our home game with Huddersfield Town remains at 3pm on Saturday 21 April but would need to be moved should we beat Leicester in the FA Cup, as that weekend is when the semi-final ties will be played. 

FIXTURE CHANGES: 

Chelsea v West Ham United - Sunday 8 April - 4.30pm - live on Sky Sports

Southampton v Chelsea - Saturday 14 April - 12.30pm - live on Sky Sports
