'Disgrace' - Chelsea and West Ham supporters trusts blast Premier League over fixture change

Chelsea and West Ham Supporters' Trusts have released a joint statement criticising the Premier League as the clash between the teams was moved following the announcement of European fixtures.

It was announced on Saturday that the match would be moved to Saturday, September 3rd, after originally being scheduled to be one of the televised games on Sunday, September 4th. However, both sets of supporters are still awaiting the announcement for the time that the match will be played.

The groups suggest fans are being 'treated with complete contempt', noting that with just one week's notice that many will have already bought tickets and booked accommodation and travel. The call for the Premier League and broadcasters to resolve the issues as a matter of urgency.
