LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Chelsea supporters travelling to Wolverhampton Wanderers for the Premier League fixture on Christmas Eve will be offered free transport to and from the game, the London club said on Monday.
"The club is aware that transport options are more limited than usual on this date, as it is a Sunday and also Christmas Eve," Chelsea said in a statement.
"As a sign of appreciation for fans making this trip, Chelsea Football Club will be offering free travel as a goodwill gesture to anyone who purchases a ticket."
The change of date to Christmas Eve was criticised by the club's fans who described it as "totally unacceptable".
The Chelsea Supporters' Trust said match-going fans would face issues travelling to Wolves on a holiday weekend.
