Stoke on Boxing day
« on: November 10, 2011, 08:36:15 PM »
Away on boxing day 8pm are they taking the piss out of us.

Not only have we been the last game on Boxing day the most years now its been shoved further back. Will we ever kick off before 5.30 pm again on the 26th December or do they look to ruin our Christmas every year with hard fixtures and shite kick off times?

I can't believe anyone bar Villa/Stoke/Small Heath and Port Vale fans will be arsed to watch. We always have shit fixtures at Christmas... guaranteed to be playing the teams that are in Europe during the European break so they can concentrate on thrashing (or in Stoke's case, cheating) us out of sight.

Any good films on the other side so I can avoid "It's a Miserable Life" on Sky Sports?

It messes around the people who are going to the match, that's the problem. But they're only football supporters, so who cares about them?

Exactly, well said Dave - it's the pathetic TV generation who are killing football, not Sky.

Well with our shite attendances we need as much money as possible, so being on TV has its positives.

Aside from Gold Cup Day at Cheltenham, it's the best day of the year. The happy release from the uber-Sunday that is Christmas day, shit loads of sport including football and the King George at Kempton, and the prospect of all day drinking and new jumper wearing.

We always seem to be on the TV on Boxing Day though and it escapes me why and this year really is taking the piss.

True about date and time, not a killer journey from Brum though.

Says he who will be sitting in front of wood burner on Boxing day.
