Agreed. And to add, Ipswich and Villa are both evening kick offs some distance away on really inconvenient days. An overnight stay makes that easier but that costs big time.

A combination of more overnight stays, and the dire train service at times, especially if buses are involved.
With Norwich on the Saturday, Ipswich on the Thursday, and Man U on the Sunday something had to give - and a 2pm Sunday KO decided that one with so many games coming onto sale in quick succession before Christmas. Would rather go to Forest, so we are.

I’m missing Utd and Norwich. Got to be selective with this many games or I’d never see my family.
Missing Villa as away, but doing Ipswich, Man U and Norwich. Lot of travelling time and expense, can 100% see why people need to be selective given other commitments

Nothing to see here. For most people, the approach to Christmas is never a great time to release a bunch of away games, especially evening weekday games at places like Villa and Ipswich.
I can’t go to every away game so I pick and choose. I’ve been to Old Trafford the last two occasions and something's gotta give. I don’t like going to West Ham and decided not to bother, especially a few days before Christmas. I've never been to Villa Park or Ipswich so I’ve opted for those games, despite the need for an overnight stay. I’m also signed up for Forest. I fancied the Norwich game but just didn’t want two drives to East Anglia within a few days of each other. I never trust the trains to get me anywhere.
TBH, I’m surprised this clutch of games has sold so well considering Christmas and the recent blip in performances.

Missing:
Today, can’t be arsed, I’m not good this time of year.
Ipswich, Midweek, old lady won’t give my right hand man clearance in exam year.
United, I hate them trains from the north west and as much as I love Manchester as a city I find this one, meh. Anyhoo, I’m working so as Del Boy would say, it’s epidemic.
Forest, working, gutted.
Looking forward to:
Villa, it’s an overnighter, beer and curry
Norwich, January’s shit so hopefully this’ll break the boredom.
Scum’ampton. Not far, we’re gonna win innit?

Get Christmas expense out the way and a couple of wins over the next few games and the prospect of Europe back on next season and away tickets back in demand. Just another 6 away games to go on sale apart from FA cup with just Man City & Wolves to providing 10 / 15 points
