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.

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

Re: Festive fixture changes - Live on Sky

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 .
