Shauntaylor85 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Come on all, thought this would sell out. Remember being there in 1997 for that huge game in December. Sold out then! Around 900 tickets still left for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kit Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 We played there in 2008 I think on boxing day and dont think we were close to selling out then either. Can't find what we took there but the highlights definitely had empty seats at the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Boxing Day football definitely splits opinion. For some it's a tradition for others it's family time spent away from football. I fall into the second camp and just don't go home or away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep your right each to there own , you go round and round the centre with a placard all day Boxing Day whilst I travel to Watford have a couple beers nice bit to eat chat to like minded people endure 90 mins of tension / hell / delight we don’t know travel back for a few more drinks and no doubt the rest of the turkey & pickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my take is pretty similar to yours. But I can see that others might take a different view. And I’ve no doubt they’d describe it much like you describe our day too: a short journey to the centre, a breakfast/couple of beers and a chat with like minded people, 90 mins of walking, making their point, another drink, then back home for the turkey. We’re probably not that different to them. And I suspect that 90% of the country would think spending all Boxing Day doing either activity is mad! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
