Nottingham Forest F.C. Fleece Blanket Official Football Club Sofa Bed Throw

Product Information

With no obvious signs that this trend is going to change, it’s now time that dialogue between broadcasters, clubs and supporters becomes an obligation when considering any fixture change – and that this becomes a feature of any future broadcasting deal. For fans who watch on television or the casual viewer who likes any football on TV, it’s nothing more than just another game. This is clearly not acceptable and we urge the Premier League and the broadcasters to come together and solve this issue and select matches for dates which give match-going fans sufficient notice to ensure they are able to watch their team play. Food, Fun and Premier League Forest : Frank Lampard's Chelsea are going to lose every game before they play us, aren't they? Christmas Eve is a day when families prepare to spend time over the festive period together and over the last 28 years has been one of the few days where supporters can guarantee there is no football so they can make arrangements without having to miss watching the team they love. Then there is the issue of travel on such a day, which again will impact those who follow their team around the country.

The supporters are never considered during these times when the broadcasters select their TV games and this is another demonstration that supporters are the furthest from their minds. Christmas Eve is a day for family and friends. A day for wrapping presents. Preparing food. Making time for special ones. Newcastle United Supporters Club are disappointed by the Premier League and broadcaster decision to host a fixture on Christmas Eve for the first time in 28 years.Whatever the case may be, we ask them all to urgently rethink their plans to play this match on Christmas Eve and we fully support the FSA for taking this up.

Fan groups call on PL to reverse Christmas Eve KO decision

The Board of the Fulham Supporters’ Trust are against fixtures on Christmas Eve for the following reasons:- Get wrapped up, put the match on and show your support with the official Nottingham Forest FC Pattern Hooded Blanket. The personalised wearable blanket has an understated design merged with the recipient's initials for that unique touch. Ideal for those days where you want to work from home in comfort and it makes a perfect gift for those who just like to put their feet up on the weekend, get cosy, and watch the footy. It’s an unnecessary and thoughtless decision by the Premier League, and broadcasters, to stage this match on Christmas Eve.The introduction of Christmas Eve fixtures in the Premier League, after a 28-year absence and without any prior fan consultation, starkly underscores the expanding impact of television money on the world of football. While television broadcasting has played an increasingly significant role in the sport’s revenue streams, it is essential not to lose sight of the very supporters who make football what it is. Christmas Eve has been left alone by the decision-makers inside television for 28 years – and we call for that to continue. Common sense should prevail. Sunday transport is a challenge at the best of times. But Sunday transport coupled with Christmas Eve schedules? A nightmare before Christmas.
