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

England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” baguio
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet baguio
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works baguio
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 baguio
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia baguio
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France baguio
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain baguio
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament baguio
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played baguio between the tied teams baguio
Is there relegation baguio between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted baguio
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season baguio
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place baguio
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV baguio
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks baguio
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 baguio
There are some obvious advantages to this format baguio
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap baguio between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect baguio
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent baguio
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold baguio
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games baguio
