Xmas eve football

[john jako]

Lots of rumours one of the December 23rd games will be moving to the 24th of December.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on crimbo eve footy?

I’m all for it if it doesn’t include Everton. Think it will cause chaos looking at the planned fixtures.

I can’t think of anything better than killing the only day of the year this forum is peaceful and cohesive than with a cruel Everton defeat.

Blue on blue in THE NEW ARENA when you’re meant to be wrapping your kids presents levels up whole new opportunities for aggro and bans.

Can’t wait.

Christmas Eve isn’t really a special day. Nout happens

getting home for away fans wont be much fun

Didn’t Leeds play Utd one Christmas Eve in the early 90s . Just when Sky started calling the tune I think

Don't really see the need personally. Would be a nightmare for away fans to get home, especially if a later afternoon kick off

Plus you can't play boxing day if you also play Christmas eve, and that's a day where people are used to watching football.

That's only in the UK, Christmas eve is nearly bigger than the the day in a lot of European countries

It may be the players more unhappy with it than most, I guess. Although I think trains are reduced on Christmas eve

I remember we got beat 6-2 by Spurs on the 23rd one year under Silva and Christmas Day was chaos on here. We then won 5-1 at Burnley on Boxing Day. The full GrandOldTeam.com/forum experience.

The players won’t care. They’ve missed Christmas’ and New Years and Boxing Day their whole careers.
