    Queens Park Rangers will lay on free coaches to fans for their night match at Everton to combat the lack of public transport available.
    Sky and the Premier League came in for criticism after announcing four Monday Night Football matches in December where travelling supporters were unable to use trains.
    The last train to leave Liverpool for London and arrive on the same night of December 15 is at 8.48pm. The club have reacted by arranging free coach travel.

    They have done the same for the match at Swansea on December 2, also offering reduced-priced tickets. Premier League clubs are each allocated a £200,000 pot to aid the experience for away supporters.
    A QPR spokesman said: ‘R’s fans have shown incredible support on the road already this season, and in the lead up to Christmas, the club want to make travelling to the Liberty Stadium and Goodison Park as affordable as possible.’

    Sounds pretty desperate. They must be worried that the terrible football is about to cause the away support to evaporate.

    I would have gone to both if they were on Saturday - got mates that are supporters of both and was looking forward to making weekends of it. Now I'm a grown-up with with a family I cant just take days off mid-week.

    Nice move by Club, but shows how little Sky and EPL care about fans who attend matches....

    Where was all this supposed criticism about the decision to show games on Monday nights during December, certainly don't recall seeing or hearing anything?

    It has already....Chelsea away has gone to general sale, and that's without being given the full allocation...

    I can't bring myself to go to that one. Of the two games I've attended at Stamford Bridge in the last couple of years, I tend to think this season's game will resemble the one when we got a massive hiding. I've seen the 21st century version of QPR win there now. The itch has been scratched.

    Someone mention free coach ?
    If they can throw in a free manager, I'll make the trip from Oz !

    Anyway, hope those who are attending enjoy the game and that the players give you something to smile about.
    Cheers,
