Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust unhappy with Premier League's TV fixtures announcement delay

Football fans are still waiting for the Premier League to announce the games to be televised in December and January.

It has caused much unrest over the past few days as the fixtures were actually set to be announced last Friday.

What has not helped matters this time is the fact that three domestic broadcasters are showing games for the first time, thus meaning the Premier League has struggled to finalise details.

The delay has meant that fans that travel to the games have been unable to book travel and sort out family arrangements over the festive period when the prices tend to skyrocket.

Confirmed dates and times of games in December and January were expected to be published at 10am this morning, yet fans of all clubs are still waiting for the announcement.

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' trust have added to the complaints surrounding the announcement and have pointed to the fact that it is not just the away games that supporters need to plan for.

In a statement via the Football Supporters' Federation, the Supporters' Trust said: “As is common in the modern game, it’s not just the away fixtures that concern Spurs fans.

"Our home game against Chelsea on the weekend before Christmas is causing the most anxiety, with many fans not living locally to Tottenham and eager to finalise both their transport to the game and their subsequent Christmas plans.

“The Christmas and New Year set of picks is the most important of the lot to fans, who also have lives outside of football, and the disregard shown by not only running almost a week late but by the radio silence from the Premier League is astonishing, even in this day and age.”
