The Premier League's decision surrounding a certain issue with Chelsea's upcoming home fixture this month against Manchester United has sparked a furious reaction from the club's supporters trust who have demanded a quick solution to this situation.
A statement from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust details the frustration of the fans for not having a confirmed kick-off time for the match between the two English giants which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 22nd.
This is despite other fixtures for every club having confirmed dates and times for fixtures leading up to the beginning of the FIFA Qatar World in late November.

The announcement of an official kick-off time continues to be delayed as an ongoing dispute between the Premier League and its broadcasters over TV slots has prevented them from coming to an agreement.
The indecision has been labelled 'unacceptable' as fans not only in this country but those travelling from elsewhere cannot make solid plans in regards to potentially planning their attendance to this blockbuster fixture.
The statement read: "It is unacceptable and deeply irresponsible for a KO time not to have been announced for Chelsea Vs. Manchester United on October 22nd
"We are 17 days away from the match and supporters have been given no information about what time the game will begin. The fixture date was agreed on August 30th. Five weeks to agree on a time is a disgrace.
"We remind everyone that we are supporters, not customers.
"When this fixture was first announced back in June, all parties were aware that there was a possibility it would have to be moved due to [Champions League] fixture clashes. Not having a comprehensive plan in place is damaging to the sport and its supporters.
"Our message to the broadcasters and Premier League is clear - #SortItOut."
Whether this statement forces the issue in the coming days remains to be seen but this uncertainty will not help the fans from both clubs who will want to start putting the plans in place in regards to sorting out key things like transport and accommodation.
