When was the last time we had a Christmas game at home that kicked off in daylight?

The only season ticket-relevant change is the Spurs game which has moved back a couple of hours and is still on the same day.  Is it really going to make any difference?

It very likely is. Boxing Day is the most family-orientated fixture of the season and a 5.30 kick-off often buggers your whole day up.

I want to know if they'll move the WBA game aswell, have the Police not moved it to a sunday kick off then?

Disappointed they've moved the Spurs game as like Dave I can't remember the last time we had a boxing day home game kicking off at 3pm.

We do seem to be a popular choice on Boxing Day. An earlier kick-off would be more suitable to people who have family commitments. Even before Tv coverage an awful lot of Boxing Day games would start early for this very reason.

As for Public Transport, it's as rare as rocking horse shit on the 26th.

Boxing Day, the game after or New Year's Day. When did we last kick off at home at 3pm? I honestly can't remember.

Being a non driver, I have no idea how i'll get to the Boxing day game, regardless of kick off time.

It's long sodding walk from B32 to B6!
