I don't think that is a valid reason to label ourselves as a special case and give us carte blanche to change fixtures any time we wish and neither do I see the logic in that fact meaning we cannot compare ourselves to any other club. So what if a lot of people use public transport? That is not...
Its a good point though, every other club I imagine will have the same issues with travel etc on Boxing Day, I don't see why we should have special treatment, perhaps the FA have the same opinion and think it is up to the club to come up with a plan the same as any other club.
I have heard that the FA are digging their heels in and insisting the club fulfill the boxing day fixture as planned and have threatened the club will forfeit the match and the 3 points if they don't. Not sure why the FA are taking such a hardline attitude?
