Chelsea Fans Frustrated with Changing Kick-Off Time for Sheffield United Match

Chelsea fans have expressed their frustration after the kick-off time for their upcoming match against Sheffield United was changed twice in just three days. The Premier League has also voiced their disappointment with the latest turn of events. The fixture, originally scheduled for Sunday, April 7, was initially moved to a kick-off time of 1:30pm, but was later changed again to 5:30pm. The Premier League had managed to get both clubs to agree to the earlier kick-off time, but it had to be changed due to the Sheffield Half Marathon taking place on the same afternoon. The decision to change the kick-off time again has been criticized by Chelsea Supporters Trust, who described it as 'disrespectful' to fans who had already purchased train tickets. The Premier League has requested that Sheffield United reimburse the affected Chelsea fans. The Supporters Trust has also encouraged fans to provide proof of additional expenses incurred due to the fixture change, which will be forwarded to the Premier League for reimbursement. This incident adds to the frustrations of Chelsea fans, who have already experienced inconvenient kick-off times throughout the season. The Supporters Trust has called on all parties involved in fixture scheduling to treat match-going supporters with respect to prevent stadiums from becoming lifeless and passionless. These off-field issues come at a time when Chelsea is struggling on the pitch, currently sitting in 11th place in the Premier League table with 10 losses this season.
