Christmas And New Year Holiday Football Fixtures (EDM1327)

Christmas And New Year Holiday Football Fixtures

EDM number 1327 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Russell on 09/01/2006.

That this House recognises that the Christmas and New Year holiday period involves Premiership and Football League clubs playing several fixtures; regrets that the football authorities fail to take into account the travel over long distances which many teams and supporters face during the holiday period; and therefore calls on the football authorities to ensure that in future the fixtures scheduled for Christmas and New Year are between clubs closest to each other where this is possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
