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

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence baguio
Then, the crack in his voice baguio
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health baguio
That is, until now baguio
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior baguio
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little baguio
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable baguio
But soon may be too soon baguio
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago baguio
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi baguio
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began baguio
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that baguio
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes baguio
baguio
baguio
Sorry, um baguio
baguio
baguio
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it baguio
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp baguio
baguio
baguio
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room baguio

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up baguio
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it baguio
I had to take it baguio
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be baguio
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in baguio
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family baguio
But, I don’t know baguio
baguio
baguio
I think you just need to keep busy baguio
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in baguio
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it baguio
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand baguio

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training baguio
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer baguio
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight baguio
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession baguio
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted baguio
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable baguio
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring baguio
It must baguio
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January baguio
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him baguio
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave baguio
That is even clearer now than it was last week baguio
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it baguio
