For the last six years, save an early away match v Spurs about 5 years ago we've been the last match on Boxing day. Well, I say that, two years ago we were moved to the day after Boxing by TV. Sorry, if it sounds like a moan but when everbody else is wrapped up warm drinking the early evening away on Boxing day with friends and family, we are shivering away seating on a plastic seat on which has become an almost annual event of shoving our festive fixtures about. Here is a list of festive home games since 2005.2005/06 Everton 26th Dec, 5.30pm 2006/07 Chelsea 2nd Jan 7.45pm2007/08 Arsenal 26th Dec 5.30pm2008/09 Liverpool 29th Dec 7.45pm2009/10 Spurs 26th Dec 5.30pmAll shown live no of which were played in daylight and most of those who attended probably struggled with transport. Call me paraniod but Sky wants to kill our Christmas.

I bet the majority of the away end will be single blokes! If i was still going to games this season i'd have had to somehow convince the mrs and the family that i was going. I doubt we'll take any more than 500 with that ridiculous time on Boxing Day.
