At least the stands won't be full of sprout pumping.

Is what it is, plenty of local non league football, if you want to go to a game.

[Howards back]

No surprise really. It will not be the only one. 

[alanharper]

First home Boxing Day game in about 52 years and it gets called off, typical.  We might get another one in 2048.

Any chance Sunderland away could be off ? 

[swinners]

Oh no.  Not had a boxing day match for years!!!!

Good shout that. I'm of an age now where I'd  reluctantly have given it a miss out of caution anyway even though a ST holder. 

Might look for a local non league game though.

Depends on the situation with Wednesday and Sunderland at the time.

 

Neither club could field a team for the boxing day fixture.

Not sure who's playing where but Hallam, Staveley, handsworth and Sheffield FC. All quite local for me.

 

Stockbridge PS will have a game on I'm sure.

 

Would have considered Ilkeston Town, but I definitely know they are away.

 

Dronfield Town are having a free entry game over Xmas, however that's not on Boxing Day.

Cheers. Stocksbridge at home to Sheffield on Monday. Will check on Hallam and Staveley  though. Staveley closest.

Literally round the corner from me, 3 quid entry, kids go free. If they are at home.

 

If you fancy a spicy one, Matlock Vs Buxton in the A6 derby.

5 away ones in a row before this year, Blackburn, Stoke, Boro, Forest, Newcastle. 2 home games prior to that 

 

Didn’t realise it had been so long.. assumed it broadly alternated every year

that’s on the 27th but well worth a watch.

thinking of going to the Ethiad to watch City v Leicester, should be a decent watch 

[areNOTwhatTHEYseem]

Again, the least of our worries in the circumstances, but it means Luongo now misses Sunderland (A) and Shrewsbury (A) as things stand.

 

Not ideal.

 

Although the games after that are Plymouth (H), Oxford (A) and Ipswich (H), so I'm not sure what the best outcome would be on that score?

[Hirstyslaces]

If there is a plus side to any of  this, we MIGHT see one or two of our previously injured players returning to the squad after Christmas.

 

But then again.........

What excuse can I use to get a break from the family now?
