Boxing Day Fixture kerfuffle

[Longy]

What the problem here? Fans having to travel for an 8pm kick off on a Boxing Day night?
If it’s not I’m confused

The Football League originally compiled the fixture list with Swindon Town included before publishing them. It's why the Saturday game was away at QPR and New Year's Day was at home to Southampton.

By the time Sunderland took their place and the appeal was heard, it was too late to change anything.

There were loads of us there that day all things considered. It rained as well iirc? We took shelter in the seats and not the uncovered stand.

 

[Bugsy Malone]

Was in the uncovered stand,soaked through and freezing cold,think we lost 2-1 ?Owers or Rush scored from about 2 yards out for us.

 

[young2077]

Reminds me of that Christmas when we drew 2-2 with them and Klopp claimed they had 2hrs less recovery time from their previous game than us

The media went on about it in the build up, during the and f***ing after.

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

Angeleri came on and crossed a ball think it went over the stadium

If he wasn’t so handsome I’d have been fuming.

I think it's the 8pm kick off mate that wrangles

Cos you're known as one eye jack.

That's for a very different reason

Dinar what they are moaning at, a day on the drink and a good excuse to sack the mother in law's off, sounds good to me

1990.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

I remember a noon kickoff on New Year's Day at Hull 89ish, I think. There were some states in that away end.
I was only a bairn so remember it more than most.

Wash your mouth out


Don’t remember the game with Moyes

It was 2 pens for us from Defoe. Mane handled for the second. It was last game, apart from Palace away 4-0 win, that I felt like I'd watched us play a proper football match with competitive spirit.

[Jelly Belly]

It’s about 120 miles away , we did Old Trafford a few seasons ago on Boxing Day and that’s further.

We've had them on Boxing Day at OT a couple of times I think?
