Fixture changes Dec and Jan

[Border villan]

Christmas Eve is the traditional day for blokes to do a panicked dash round town to get their wives a present. That's quite a few women getting nothing for Christmas this year!

Wolves could bring out a perfume called 'Old Gold' and make a fortune. Calling it an 'eau de toilette' might confuse the locals though.

They will be grunting “Dingle bells” at the match.

Why is the Forest A on  Sunday?

On Sky

Thanks

Dingles at work are fuming, for once I dont think anyone can disagree with them

At work?😳

Surprised we have a home game on 'Black Eye Friday', town will be fun.

As if getting served on the last Friday before Christmas isn't difficult enough already!

Will the dog shit Xmas market still be on then?

Nov 2nd-24th Dec according to a quick Google.

They announced yesterday it’s one drink per person this year. They won’t be serving “ rounds “.
Makes it easy to not go.

The Man Utd fixture was always a good chance of happening, because United never play southern teams or Man City, Liverpool or Everton on Boxing Day.

They did this last year.  I couldn't get my wife a drink despite her being 20 yards away and me pointing her out to the staff and waving.

It's like Winter Wonderland only with any vestige of soul and charm that the latter may enjoy ripped out of it

I just don't understand why they scrapped the notion of playing local(ish) derbies on Boxing Day and New Year's. Something like Forest away and Wolves at home would have done

Our only Sat 3pm kick off so far this season. H Palace 16 Sep. Our next, H Burnley 30 Dec.

Our first possible Sat 3pm kick off away this season: Sheff U - 3 Feb

Rumour has it that just one stall is enforcing this rule and Birmingham Live are just shit stirring. I had no issue last year and have been there every year since it started and never witnessed a problem with under age drinking.

Is it really that bad! Can't really stand any of them. Rip off prices, queues and general feeling of misery.

In fact just like Villa Park at half time ...

You couldn’t pay me to go to that ‘German’ market. Utter dog shit.

I'd put 'market' too. It's the same down here. Stallholders pay exorbitant rent then charge exorbitant prices for food, beverages, and. 'Christmas' goods and traditional craftwork imported mainly from China by the container-load.

Fuck.that!

Bit of advice please

You know the game away against MU on Boxing Day

Because it’s a late KO and it’s on Boxing Day do you think that it will go down to bottom tier ST holders
or is the Boxing Day fixture a high take up game no matter what
