New Year's day: P 35 W 12 D 5 L 18

Surprised our Boxing Day record is that good Eric because it’s not a day I’ve associated with us winning in the twenty first century much - off the top of my head, the last time I can remember a Boxing Day win was over Palace in our Championship winning season.

This is just games played on Dec 26th, not those moved a day for whatever reasons btw.

In 1999 we beat Reading on Boxing Day. Since then we've won 2 out of 21 fixtures on that day. Palace in 2012 was one, Coventry at home was the other in 2010.

Some stats since 2000 :-

Home games: 12
Wins: 2
Draws: 4
Defeats: 6

Away games: 9
Wins: 0
Draws: 6
Defeats 3

Team played most often: Plymouth (1 draw, 3 defeats).

Plymouth are our most faced opposition on Boxing day. In 7 games against them we've managed 2 draws and lost the rest. We've played Bristol City 5 times, winning 1, losing 1 and drawing 3. In the 5 games played on a Boxing day against the Jacks (all between 1983-89) we've won 3 and drawn 2.

We won 13 of our first 28 Boxing day fixtures, then lost 9 of the next 13. Between 1979-99 we won 10 out of 18 games, only losing 1. Since 2000 our record has been atrocious.

I remember us beating Man Utd on Boxing day at Ninian Park 3-0...think it was 1963........I remember because I left my sister's wedding reception in The Philharmonic in Cardiff to go see the game!!!

We definitely didn’t play Man Utd in 1963, we were in different divisions.
