[Sleeping Giants]

No!.....I always have to choose family and can't watch any of it!!.....Rubbish weather as well which only suits the lesser teams and not a time for family sorts to be watching footie.

[vanhoop]

[Fez]

No, could simply delay them one day!

[Quaz]

[Morris]

thats what i call dedication

I say yes, it's a great part of the English game and makes that Xmas period such a defining moment of the season.

Also, should definately take more advangtage of Bank holidays for footy. IMHO should be bank hols and weekends as much as possible, except for Europe, Minor Cup Games and Internationals.

I vote keep it, It's part of our tradition, let's stick with it.

Yes if home fixture, no if its Plymouth away.

[Bluehoop]

Without a doubt - it's part of the Christmas festivities. And that run of games over the Christmas/New Year period sorts the men from the boys. Once it's over the division really starts to mean something.

[Jeff]

Yes if home fixture, no if its Plymouth away.

when i saw we were at HOME for boxing day i assumed that it was a mistake and that we actually were away at Sunthorpe...

[silvercue]

the other point is that traditionally it was for derby games. Should get back to that tradition for sure.

My Dad was telling me the other day that he used to watch Kingstonians v Wimbledon on Christmas morning,Probably just after the war.
