Looks like dog walk, telly, food, board game playing now.

Any better solutions to the fact we are being starved of the Albion on Boxing Day for the first time in the history of the world?

Well, next year an away game could be drawn at the time of fixtures for Boxing day, so we can all go to that then, assuming we can get there. If the club can work out how to get trains, buses and stewards sorted for Boxing Day in future, who knows, we may have one at home in the future.

I'll probably have to spend the afternoon at the in laws, I normally get out of doing that due to football commitments.

First time ever? I'm pretty sure that when Boxing Day fell on a Sunday a few years ago the matches were held on the Monday which was designated Christmas Bank Holiday.

Family Christmas get-together at my parents ... as I was always going to be doing.

This is a right result for me, as I haven't been able to make Boxing Day games for YEARS!!!

Absolute PISSFLAPS.

So I think we can safely assume we are NEVER going to have a home match on a public holiday. Ever.

Brilliant. Fu-cking brilliant.

Wife's working on Christmas Day so Boxing Day was always going to be our 'Christmas Day'. Pity the match isn't the 27th which for me will be 'Boxing Day'. Barber out, etc etc etc.


EDIT: Maybe that's the solution? All Brighton fans should have Christmas Day on Boxing Day, then our Boxing day will always be on the 27th. I mean, how hard can it be? Sort it out Barber.

Dissappointed from a selfish point of view. Gonna miss the Milwall game now as I'll be in Germany.
Guess I'll be spending hangover/boxing day breaking into an alcoholic sweat whist attempting to understand the instructions on mousetrap.

Enough to cope with our crowds ?

Wasn't our Easter Monday game bumped to the Tuesday this year ?

It was played Tuesday night not at 3pm which says to me it was a midweek fixture anyway? I shall be with the inlaws as always was the plan this year.
