# Aston Villa: Fans slam fixture changes

**Many Aston Villa fans have been left slamming some news involving changes to their fixture schedule.**

As per the official [website](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/october/18/six-fixtures-selected-for-tv-coverage/) of the Villa Park faithful, no fewer than six of their games over the busy December and January period have been selected for live TV broadcast, which means that their kick-off times have all changed.

AVFC supporters are particularly unhappy with the new Boxing Day time, with which they will now host Chelsea at 5:30pm – travelling will be difficult around that time in the evening, likely leaving fans with a choice of being able to enjoy family time or attend the match.

Dean Smith’s side also host Manchester City at 8:15pm midweek, which is another awkward time, particularly for fans who have work the next day.
