Thinking of the 4th round, isn’t that mid-late Jan?
Third round used to be first Jan weekend, 4th round 2-3 weeks later

Agree 100% - BUT, we take their money, we pay the price I'm afraid.
IMO the club should look at giving away (or sell really cheaply) any available (non ST) tickets otherwise the ground will be 1/2 empty.

Agree as it’s going to complete embarrassment with literally thousands of empty seats
8pm Boxing Day fantastic what a result, great time, great game, should be great.
These aren't my opinions but I reckon this is my best chance to see my words appearing in the press advertising.

LOL literally no chance of that.
The tannoy will announce 30,892 attendance that the 12,000 of us there will have a good chuckle at
I can get there, but honestly I don't want to now. Absolutely ridiculous decision, clubs need to set some limits in the next rights deal.
Additionally, given the 27th is a Bank Holiday this year, would it not make more sense to put a few more games that day (at reasonable times) as games are being held on the 29th and 30th in the evenings?

Within reason we pay the price. But this is a biggest pile of shit scheduling we've ever had IMO.
I was looking forward to this game, as a friend of mine is a Brentford STH and we were planning on meeting up. Thats out the window now. My seat will be empty.
Boxing Day at 8pm gets me back to Dorsetshire for 1am perhaps. Great!
A lot of our home games feel like they are being televised, but fewer of the away games (might be wrong) - but if so, that's a kick in the balls.
But apart from that, it looks like a hard run of fixtures around Xmas:
- Wolves on Wed night (15th) and then Man U away on the Saturday 18th at 12.30pm
- Home game at 8pm Sunday 26th v Brentofrd then quickly on to Chelsea on Wed 29th

8pm boxing day is a joke, how the hell is anyone using public transport meant to get home. We all know trains will be a nightmare if there are any, trains and buses usually finish early on Boxing day well before the end of the match
I cant see many Brentford fans making this, and given the relative closeness m sure a fair few had it pencilled in as a boxing day treat, any coming will find it almost impossible to get back by train.
We all know us fans come way down the list when deciding when to move games, but this just takes the piss
Why do ANY matches need to be on at 8pm on Boxing Day,

Easy. Because Sky manage to get 4 live games on TV - at a time when vast majority of people will be at home and probably making the most of their expensive TV subscriptions, which the Premier League & Brighton & Hove Albion get heavily compensated for.

Every cloud, and all that.
We can't complain about this. We (BHA) took their money. We subscribe to their Sports packages. We can't be surprised when we get royally shafted.
And I'm not in favour of this - it's a monumental pain for me to get to and back from - but football has brought this on itself and on this day, it's Brighton and Brentford fans paying for it.

Sky only have 2 on Boxing Day, highly imagine ours will be on one of the free Sky channels too which they normally do around Christmas time.

There is still 4 games on TV though right? Hence the 8pm thing

Trains don't usually run at all on Boxing Day.
