Chelsea have moved to pacify fans, who are angry over the Christmas Eve fixture involving the Blues and Wolves.
The Chelsea Supporters Trust had come out with a statement last week, strongly condemning the fixture, which they said wasn’t fair on both the players and fans.
Typically, League games are scheduled to hold days before or after Christmas, and not on the Eve of the holiday when many people will be traveling to be with family and friends.
If allowed to go on as schedule, the Wolves vs Chelsea game will mark the first time in more than 20 years, that a Premier League match would take place on Christmas Eve.
But in a swift move to make fans feel better about the arrangement, Chelsea have now announced they will provide free coaches for those who will attend the game.
“Following the latest fixture announcements Chelsea FC will be playing Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday 24th December,” a statement from the club read.
“The club is aware that transport options are more limited than usual on this date, as it is a Sunday and also Christmas Eve.
“We recognise the commitment of our match going supporters and appreciate the unwavering loyalty they give to watching the team, home and away.
“Therefore, as a sign of appreciation for fans making this trip Chelsea will be offering travel as a goodwill gesture to anyone who purchases a ticket.
“Coaches will be available to take supporters to and from the match at no cost, available to book when match tickets go on sale.”
