Reports of the Premier League and broadcasters scheduling the first Christmas Eve fixture since 1995 this season are a “kick in the teeth” for match-going fans, the baguio Football Supporters’ Association has said baguio
It follows a report in The Telegraphthat at least one fixture could be moved to Sunday December 24 this year baguio
The Express and Star then reported that the match baguio between Wolves and Chelsea is under consideration for the slot baguio
The English top-flight has not staged a match on Christmas Eve since Leeds United played Manchester United in 1995, in a contest that is still remembered for Tony Yeboah’s stunning strike for the hosts in a 3-1 win at Elland Road baguio
But a fixture has not been scheduled on the day before Christmas since, with supporters voicing their opposition due to the challenges of matchday travel - particularly for away fans baguio
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, with a full schedule of matches set to be played on Saturday December 23, as well as the traditional baguio Boxing Day fixtures on December 26 baguio
“Reports suggest the Premier League and broadcasters are set to ignore supporters and schedule a Christmas Eve fixture for the first time since 1995 baguio
It’s an unwanted present which no-one asked for,” the baguio Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) said baguio
“It would be a huge kick in the teeth for supporters who have consistently made clear their opposition to games the day before Christmas – as it’s not the first time this has been proposed baguio
“Back in October 2017 there were reports that Sky baguio Sports wanted to broadcast games on Christmas Eve which we said represented ‘a new low point in putting the interests of baguio football broadcasters over those of matchgoing fans’ baguio
“It would put many supporters in an impossible choice baguio between going to the match or spending festive time with their families – and that’s before you factor in the added challenges of travelling on a Sunday baguio
“In the past decade or so Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday in 2011, 2016 and 2022 while 2017 was a Sunday baguio
There was no top-flight baguio football on those days which suggests an informal policy the Premier League is now looking to backtrack on baguio
”Commenting on the reports that Chelsea fans could face travelling to Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve, Mark Meehan, the chair of the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust, said such a decision would be “totally unacceptable” baguio
“During a time when we ought to be helping supporters travel to away fixtures, it’s outrageous that another hurdle could be placed in their way,” Meehan said baguio
A statement from the Wolves 1877 Supporters Trust also criticised any change to Christmas Eve baguio
“This potential scheduling once again shows a complete lack of consideration and respect for fans, especially Wolves fans who travel from further afield, and of course visiting Chelsea supporters,” the group said baguio
“We also feel that this is unfair on club staff, especially those with young children, who will have planned to spend Christmas with their families baguio
We urge the Premier League to consider this decision very carefully before making an announcement baguio

Two elderly men were suited baguio
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion baguio
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent baguio
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” baguio
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up baguio
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said baguio
“He’s me brother baguio
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC baguio Sports Personality of the Year award baguio
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died baguio
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air baguio
They were not always close but their achievements will live on baguio
There have been 22 men’s baguio football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 baguio
It remains the most famous year in English baguio football history; perhaps it always will baguio
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA baguio Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France baguio Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup baguio
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player baguio
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both baguio
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt baguio
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English baguio footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps baguio
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed baguio
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory baguio
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about baguio football coming home, Charlton brought it back baguio
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net baguio

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it baguio
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular baguio
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ baguio
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond baguio
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought baguio
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist baguio
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions baguio
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected baguio
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other baguio
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 baguio
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over baguio
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 baguio
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole baguio
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster baguio
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden baguio
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner baguio
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English baguio football; the face of what is now a bygone age baguio
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades baguio
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game baguio
