Absolutely mental, Fulham v Chelsea might be fair enough but traveling to Wolves on Xmas eve will still be a nightmare. Who cares what fans think, shut up and consume product.

Love Xmas day, don't want a bunch of overpaid losers (EFC) ruining it.

Even more of a pain if it's the day you usually do your present shopping rush on....

There was a time (back in the 50's I believe) that football matches were played on Christmas day.

Uphill about 65 I believe

The sooner we all accept that the game isn't for the match going fans any more, it is for people like me that live on the other side of the world and pay for every game live on tv, the eaiser it will be.

And that makes me sad.

Last time for Palace was 57/58, a double header with Brentford.
First Christmas after the war was Torquay at home on Christmas Day and away on Boxing day. Torquay !
