Jonathan Walters blasts Stoke City festive trekking

Jonathan Walters slams the Premier League fixture scheduling after Stoke City were made to travel 700 miles in a matter of days.

Jonathan Walters has hit out at the Premier League fixture list after Stoke City were made to travel 700 miles in a matter of days over the festive period.

The Potters were one of the teams that were hard done by when it came to playing over Christmas, with a 386-mile round trip that saw them beaten 5-1 at Newcastle United followed up with another lengthy journey on Sunday as they lost 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur.

"Got to say fair play to all the Stoke fans who travelled to both away games at Christmas time and never stopped singing! #hardcore" Walters posted on Twitter.

"Also a big well done to whoever sorted out the fixtures over this period! It was nice for every team who were at home on the 26th to be home again on the 28th/29th.

"That's a fair way of doing things for fans and players alike who have to travel length and breadth of the country at Christmas time!!"

Stoke host Everton on New Year's Day.
