Yep i have never done boxing day games before due to family and travel and only because its at Roots Hall am i able to fit it in otherwise even if it was at home I would not be going.AFKABartram said:
Snap, it very much depends on people's personal situations, relationships etc. Early ko home games always do, but not awayspalarsehater said:never done football on boxing day, always see family.

I'm off to Roots Hall on Boxing Day. Couple of years back I think we were at Yeovil so I went to Welling v Dartford, not quite the same, but enjoyed my Boxing Day football fix.1 -
Home games and local away games are a given for me every Boxing Day. Need to get out of the house...
Didn't do Milton Keynes or Yeovil in more recent years but did do Norwich a few years back.

Just an update from the Southend end of things.
You will be given 2k. All clubs get an initial 1k which is upped to 2k when sold.
We have now started selling the over spill into the northwest corner. This means there will be no opportunity to offer anymore. Not that we would tbh. Should be around 10k in attendance.
Always liked charlton and our games against you. There is real unrest at roots hall this year. We are not performing anywhere to the potential of our squad. We are very poor away from home and average at home. We have Scunthorpe away Saturday and I can see us getting thumped tbh. We then play you and I envisage a charlton win. We follow that up with a game against Shrewsbury at home.
Anything less than 4 points and Brown has to go. Personally I can see us getting nil points.
Best of luck for the season

Well I've got bad news for you, because we are bang in form.18

I’m usually claiming the walls by the end of Christmas Day. Having to spend time with family you don’t like (wife, parents and children) - Boxing Day football is massive relief.palarsehater said:never done football on boxing day, always see family.

I went last year as you could do it on the train and get home in time for New Year's Eve
Bit harsh, only 7 points behind us (having played 1 game more), you can easily have another run towards the playoffsshrimperama said:Just an update from the Southend end of things.

With the Blue Boar shut where are away fans tending to drink? Does the Spread Eagle have away fans in?shrimperama said:Just an update from the Southend end of things.

I wasn't aware that the blue boar had shut tbh.
I doubt the spread will let anyone in with away colours but you should be alright without them.
Other than that there is the plough in westcliff which is a dive but spacious and only about 10 mins from the ground.
We may be only 7 points off of the Play offs but we have been hammered away from home almost every week. Even bristol Rovers put a few past us. In about 6 games we have failed to register a single shot on target which is just criminal.
When you think we have turner ferdinand kightly fortune cox ranger who have all played premier league we should be doing better. I think our strikers have scored like 6 goals between the 4 of them.
Our best player is Ryan Leonard and he is about to be sold to Sheffield United for around 800k
Our football this year has been so dire to watch. It shows the lack of quality in the league that we even have a chance of being amongst it.
I think Phil Brown saying Sunderland hull and almost any other job would be a dream move for him has left him alienated from the fans.
IF he can make it to the January window and offload and few and bring some in then you never know.
But this is the least enjoyable season for us for years.

Blue Boar has been shut since summer so unless re-opened and i have not noticed.0 -
No, someone already managing, but it would mean a step down for him. The owner is very keen apparently!killerandflash said:

Our only hope is if you have your cox out.1 -
I set my stall our years ago regarding boxing day football. My wife would have us sat round her mum's house which is beyond boring. They will all sit with the tv on but the sound down, they won't talk to me unless I am seen to be watching the tv then I'll be asked some menial bullshit like "how come you are not at the football" to which I'll reply "fucking wish I was". God forbid me or the old boy fall asleep or start talking to each other, even worse if we get involved in the conversation taking place. Then she wonders why I care not to sit in a very uncomfortable front room listening to her, her disgusting sisters and their mother put the world to rights and generally have a moan up. I like her mum but spending time round her house does my fucking brain in
I'll always do My best to do the away game on boxing day, I see enough of my family the rest if the year to not justify the 'spending time with family' line.4 -
I am pretty sure the Blue Boar is open again.0
