That's a nice early Christmas present
That's a nice early Christmas present
You’ve got to be seriously joking.
No Joke tit....when it's a six hour drive to Cardiff each way....Live on Sky is welcome everyday of the week.
I don’t mind the Boxing Day game being pushed back to 5:15. Should make for a “merry” atmosphere (if we’re not in bad form).
Midday kick off on New Years Day away to Blackburn? **** that.
My thoughts exactly.
We’ll be lucky to get 10,000, for Boxing Day, what with transport difficulties and family commitments
Not sure why you would say that. Boxing day attendances are traditionally the best of the year and I would have thought that it was just as easy, if not easier to get to a 5.15pm kick off than morning or early afternoon.
Christmas Fixtures
Saturday Dec 17th Cardiff v Blackpool
Monday Dec 26th Cardiff v QPR. 5:15pm - Live on Sky
Thursday Dec 29th Coventry v Cardiff. 7:45pm
Sunday Jan 1st Blackburn v Cardiff. 12 noon - Live on Sky
w/e 8th Jan FA Cup Rd 3
agree should get a healthy contingent from london too
We had 19k against Birmingham for a midday kick off, live on Sky and during rail strikes.
1) City inflate crowd numbers
2) Noon is not 5.15
3) At 5.15pm, I think more people would rather be home on a Boxing Day than being out in the cold
4) Is there even transport on Boxing Day ?
A 10k crowd would mean the lower bowl of the stadium is only a 1/3rd full. Even the family stand, which is easily the emptiest part of the ground, doesn't get that empty. Not even for midweek games on a school night.
We have 14k ST holders and sell about 4k additional tickets. Lets say all the factors above cut that figure to only 2k extra sales then a 10k crowd means nearly half our ST holders don't turn up.
In other years Boxing Day crowds are usually higher than normal despite the lack of transport and the cold. A 5:15 KO and on Sky will have some impact but not to the extent of a 40% smaller crowd.
Well here’s 4 season ticket holders who won’t be there
I wanna be getting home at 5.15pm, not going out
think we will hit over 20,000+ boxing day even if we are languishing in the bottom 6
think we will take a healthy following to Coventry too
Hopefully if we can pick up a bit of form and points maybe shift a few half season tickets too .

Enjoy your nap and a Horlick's gramps
Family meal on Boxing Day, plus emptying a bottle of BushmillsEnjoy your nap and a Horlick's gramps
That's no one in the ground moment, transport will finish early , folks like an evening with family in pubs locally .. ffs
Could be going to Walsall the way things are looking with Coventry's ongoing stadium situation!
5.15pm not a bad time at all. In my experience the family commitments I always miss due to an afternoon game on Boxing Day will be over and done with in plenty of time to get to the match. Early evening on Boxing Day is farting and burping on the settee for many, getting out for a few pints and the football is a marvellous alternative.
...and Coventry face a points deduction which may help us out with staying up.
5.15 Boxing Day great news. Pub watch the King George and the rest of the racing then football. Great day.
12.00 up at Blackburn nightmare for those wanting to travel.
No problem with 5:15. Any family commitment can be undertaken in the light. Try having one less pint on Christmas Day and getting up early. Some people make me seethe.
Better still, do what I do, leave the drink alone on Christmas Day, get out on Boxing Day, in the pubs, down the City, back in the pubs and get absolutely banjaxed.
You're such a misery!
