    Yet another reason to piss off the players more like they haven’t got issues with scheduling.

    I predict a players strike will be coming in the next couple of years

    If I was a player, I’d much rather play on Christmas Eve than Boxing Day

    We are away at Palace on the 23rd. It is both a rivalry and also one of the most straightforward journeys for away fans that day.

    If any game is moved back to Xmas Eve, I would put money on that one

      It makes perfect sense. Which is why it won’t happen. Luton v Newcastle it is

        Luton v Newcastle it is

        Not Brighton?

        It get worse - the 24th is a fucking Sunday so the last train home will be about 5pm.

    Boxing day football is class. Christmas Eve I’m already too busy stuffing my face with family so let’s not do that.

    This is how you cause fights at Christmas.

    I don’t even want to imagine the hell that would rain down if my dad and I had to tell my mam that we wouldn’t be able to do anything on Christmas eve because we were out at the football.
