Chelsea organise free coach travel for fans heading to Wolves on Christmas Eve
Chelsea are laying on free coaches for supporters for the club's Christmas Eve trip to Wolves to help ease their travel concerns.
In a goodwill gesture following last week's controversial rearrangement of the game, any Blues fan who buys a ticket will also be able to book a seat on one of the buses travelling to and from Molineux at no additional cost.
Premier League confirmation that the game was being moved, scheduling the first December 24 game since 1995, sparked a furious backlash with head coach Mauricio Pochettino agreeing he too was not happy with the fixture amendment.
Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday would have already meant travel options will be reduced.
A statement from Chelsea's Supporters' Trust also highlighted that, among other issues related to the change, 'holiday transport timetables will further inconvenience supporters.'
But having lobbied the league along with Wolves for an earlier kick-off time of 1pm Chelsea have now moved to further help their fans by deciding to arrange the coaches too.
Chelsea will have an allocation of around 3,000 for the game at Wolves.
