Xmas Day football 23:30 - Dec 22 with 1042 viewsbritferry

Have they missed a trick by not scheduling any games for this season?

The argument against has always been the fans attending the games, especially the away ones.

I expect there would be pretty decent viewing figures if there were 2 evening games on Friday.

Too be honest ( and I love football ) but I'd agree with her. There's enough stress on that particular day without adding to it should we lose .

I've always found it weird that there's NFL games on Christmas Day, but I suppose Christmas isn't as big deal in the states.

My Mrs would go nuts if I put it on - and I sort of like my day of sport on Boxing day, I'd never get away with both.

Me too love boxing day especially when the Swans are playing at home.

Same as other posters I'd struggle to get away (or really want to) watch football Xmas day.

No reason why not.
Games are played on other faith days and Christmas day in some catholic countries.

It ended for most teams in the late 1950's, but the last football league match on Christmas day was 1965, and in Scotland 1976.

No trains makes away days a pain on Boxing Day. But yes it’s a great day for a few pints and everyone’s usually in good spirits (until 5.00pm sometimes).

Last away match by train on boxing was at Bristol Rovers in 1970. Football special in the days before they were stopped. Over 15,000 at eastville on a snow covered pitch. Nil nil draw.

A couple of years ago I got so bored on Christmas day afternoon I managed to stream a game being played in Morocco 🇲🇦

It wasn't a bad standard too 👍

You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.
