I bet IE would have something to say if we only have 48 hours before playing at Lincoln, who'll have an extra day to rest/prepare.

Seems a long time since we played at home on Boxing Day.

Perhaps, but remember when cup games come around, we might have extra games that others don't have at all.

Don't suppose the club will mind the money neither.

For me, 27th is doing a world of good.

I am down south over Christmas so boxing day wouldn't have been a possibility.

I see that some people might no long be able to attend, but surely still a huge crowd to expect, 24,000+ ?

We had 22,000 for a regular game vs Sheff weds

It wasn't on TV though, its bound to put some off.  I'm sure we'll get a great crowd (if our form improves!) but normally the biggest crowds are Boxing Day all other things being equal, and TV reduces it further.

TV money plus a smaller police bill will cover any losses of ticket sales re: Derby.

Disappointed. Not as much as I probably should be. Will find an alternative and enjoy.

I wouldn’t be had I not already arranged everyone else’s Xmas time off around Lincoln being on the Thursday 🙄 

[Traf]

I'll be at all three, irrespective of any disappointment I may have.

I won't be at Fleetwood, nor at the Friday night Brizzl game, though.

I don’t think the club will see a dip in attendance from this, providing no strikes it’s much better for transport

We're getting 120k off Sky, so you lot can fuck off.

Because we’ve already got your money AND we’ll count you as attending anyway.

No surprise Bolton v Derby is on Sky, assuming they have to show a minimum number of L1 games.  If it had been scheduled for a Saturday, we'd be looking at a Sunday 12pm or Friday or Monday night.  Plymouth have already had 2 home games moved to those times, they are much worse.  We've got off lightly, how many rescheduled TV games get to KO at 3pm? (no consolation if you can't make the new date but that applies to any TV game).

[peebles]

22k as of now, 23k with a bit of form I'd say. Don't see a big difference playing 27th really (personal circumstances allowing of course)

[gonzo]

Who in Christ's name will watch this game apart from a smattering of Bolton fans and a few more Derby?!

Bet they struggle to break 100k viewers.

People will watch any games over Xmas with a few cans rather than talk to the relatives 😄

Roger stuck at his wife's families house in the conservatory with a tele with all the other brow beaten dad's wishing he got divorced when she had an affair 15 years ago sipping supermarket lager and avoiding eye contact let alone small talk with the other blokes in the room. 

Meanwhile the females get through 25 bottles of prosecco between the 5 of them. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year. 

 

 

That's our audience.
