Noticed subsequently that there are three Premier League Games on that Saturday 12:30, 17:30 and 19:45. So doesn't look like there is a Championship games that day.

I note that the games have been taken off the 24th - not due to the concerns for travelling fans, but that the clubs can't guarantee getting the correct amount of staff/stewards in.BBC reporting the Xmas eve games are not going ahead.
The games were never on the 24th in the first place.I note that the games have been taken off the 24th - not due to the concerns for travelling fans, but that the clubs can't guarantee getting the correct amount of staff/stewards in.

It was all just baseless speculation, with plenty of straw men thrown in to attack Sky (not here specifically, but in the media reports and other forums).
Games were planned to be moved to the 24th, the Premier League had stated as such long before it all blew up simply because of their obligation to the broadcaster(s). But this is absolutely no different than planning any other weekend.
Confirmed no premier league games on Chrismtas Eve
Nothing unusual with the Live TV scheduling not giving a t*ss about travelling fans, look at how the poor 'Toon' fans have been scheduled at daft O'Clock away on the South Coast during the festive period in previous seasons......T'was ever thus I'm afraid.....
Can I chip in about Boxing Day derbies? It seems that these are thin on the ground these days because Football league clubs can't find the money to pay for the increased police and stewarding costs on Bank Holiday rates (or higher) - I note mine has had this problem before and has moved fixtures away from Boxing day (and other holidays) to a Tuesday evening.
