Supporter Groups Hit Out At Premier League TV Fixtures Delays Monday, 24th Oct 2022 21:33 Fans groups affiliated with the Football Supporters Association have been expressing their anger at the delays in announcing which games have been selected for TV broadcast and when they will be played when football returns on Boxing Day after the World Cup. The TV selections for December and January covering the busy Christmas and New Year periods were due to be published by Friday 11th October, but at the time of publishing were 13 days late. This has meant many fans wanting to book travel to games in the busy December period are potentially losing out on cheaper travel options. Premier League officials have been unable to provide a concrete date or time for the TV fixtures announcement, despite requests from the Football Supporters Association and various club-specific fan groups. And over the weekend, supporter groups across the league criticised the latest delay. TV delays, what fans say Aston Villa Supporters’ Trust: Wolves 1877 Trust: Fans NEED time to fully plan ahead and make the relevant arrangements on accommodation and travel and balancing family commitments over the festive period. This waiting time is totally unacceptable and the Premier League must confirm times and dates ASAP. West Ham United Supporters’ Trust: Arsenal Supporters’ Trust: Newcastle United Supporters Trust: That’s how long the Premier League are passed their own announcement date for fixtures at Christmas and in January. At one of the most expensive times of the year, fixtures being released on time is vital. More must be done by the league, clubs and broadcasters.
