Continue reading …I would just like add my personal displeasure (for what it’s worth) to the emails I’ve received and messages seen within the CFCnet forum concerning Sky TV/Premier League’s decision to completely shaft Chelsea’s away support by moving the fixture against Everton to a Thursday night.
