Chelsea fans are furious after the Premier League yet again changed the kick-off time for their trip to Sheffield United on Sunday April 7 – in what has been blasted as a ‘kick in the teeth’ and 'disrespectful'.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the match would be kicking off at 1.30pm. On Friday, however, it was changed to 5.30pm after a request from the home club with the Premier League writing: ‘This kick-off time has been selected to allow adequate return travel for visiting supporters.’
Yet the Chelsea Supporters Trust have released a fiery statement in which they remind the Premier League that many fans had already arranged travel plans.
‘We have been informed that the change has had to be made due to the Sheffield Half Marathon which takes place earlier that day,’ the CST said.
‘There has been a suggestion that the decision makers were unaware of the Half Marathon when initially authorising the lunchtime kick-off, despite the Sheffield Half Marathon being a long-standing event in the city centre.
‘In a season where Chelsea have kicked off only four times at the traditional 3pm and have had many inconvenient kick-off time slots (including the first Christmas Eve fixture in 28 years), this is just another kick in the teeth to loyal match-going supporters.
‘This is the latest occasion of supporters being treated with disrespect, especially as this issue was totally foreseeable. Our message to all parties involved with fixture scheduling is clear: stop treating match-going supporters with total disrespect or risk stadiums becoming lifeless, soulless, and without passion.’
The CST are encouraging supporters to email them details of any additional expenses which will be incurred by them – which they plan to send to the Premier League and clubs.

I don't think the premier league should apologize for anything After all Chelsea traveling supporters are almost useless everytime because you will never hear their voice Unlike what Liverpool supporters do If they like let them sit at home They are of no impact even when they are there

KARMA.........!!!!!!! I remember when CHELSEA Fans use to mock MANCHESTER UNITED for going 7 years without a single Trophy.... CHELSEA is heading to 4 years without a trophy. I remembered....When CHELSEA Fans use to taunt MANCHESTER UNITED for using 3 Coaches in a season and couldn't make top 4. Last season CHELSEA used 4 coaches and ended 12 in the PREMIER LEAGUE table. Last two seasons, MANCHESTER UNITED finish the league with 0 GOAL difference. CHELSEA Fans use it to banter MANCHESTER UNITED fans.... Last season, CHELSEA ended the league with -6 Goal difference. I remembered when MANCHESTER UNITED won CARABAO CUP against NEWCASTLE..... CHELSEA Fans starts Taunting MANCHESTER UNITED saying that UNITED win NEWCASTLE second 11. Fast forward it this year.... CHELSEA couldn't beat LIVERPOOL under 18 in the same CARABAO CUP Final. Last week, RASMUS HOJLUND got injured boom CHELSEA Fans starts Celebrating as if their club has won the CARABAO CUP Trophy....Not even up to a week, NKUNKU who just returned back from injury has gone back to Hospital. The funny part of it is that, CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU has more doctors as fans than Football Fans. ⛳I don't know, anytime CHELSEA Fans wish MANCHESTER UNITED bad....the bad will hurt them in the future but if they wish MANCHESTER UNITED good the good won't cross STAMFORD BRIDGE 😂😂🤷.

The fan that watched two youth teams play a senior men's team cup final their team failed to reach should shut up, go and sleep 😴. The best performance your team can boast of is against one of the youth teams 😒

that shows how brainless & illiterate you are. how did your comment relate to the article? has Chelsea go anywhere close to 12yrs without a trophy? And who is the 4th manager of Chelsea?. if not illiteracy, you would have known the difference between interim caretaker and manager. And u forgot that Manu has the most expensive & most flop players in the world as analysis reviewed last week. & you are still going another year without a silver wear this, the top4 that you will crash out in group stage like you did this season. shameless Penchester fan. man U is a disgrace to England in CL this season. can you remember when last arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or City crash out in group stage of CL? disgraceful Man u.
