Who will we playing on the boxing day fixture?

[Blue3]

Would like Palace at home or Southampton, Bournemouth but will probably be Newcastle or Stoke

 

[Justice]

Palace home will be a Sunday afternoon match nailed on.

If they manage to stay up

 

[West Upper Seagull]

I reckon it will be Arsenal or Bournemouth

 

[rocker959]

Watford

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Spurs at home

 

[Notters]

Actually you know it'll be spurs away. We'll be allocated 30,000 tickets, but there will be no trains between London and Brighton and no tube on the Jubilee, Victoria or Metropolitan lines.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

This is another reason for willing Fulham to go up.

Bournemouth v Southampton
Arsenal v Spurs
Chelsea v West Ham

It won't be Watford, too far.

Which leaves......

C'mon, Fulham!

The sad reality is that a far cry from Alan Hardaker, and his ledgers and charts up at The Football League HQ at Lytham St Annes, the fixture computer now has to been approved by all the relevant Police forces, which is why the 'big games' are very rarely on these specific Bank Holidays.

The last time Spurs played Arsenal on a Boxing Day was 1983.

Which for us almost certainly rules out Palace, possibly Southampton, but might make Bournemouth or Fulham/Reading an option

Saturday/Sunday at MIDDAY on police instruction.

It will be a weekday evening. Sunday's would encourage Norwood vermin to make a weekend of it in our lovely city.

Other than re-arranged fixtures, there are relatively few mid-week games in the prem, however a Monday night fixture would probably be the most likely outcome. Sky will be keen for sure.

West Ham, home.

And so would Barry Hearn junior.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

seem to recall winning at Leicester one Boxing Day

repeat of that would be nice

 

[Birdie Boy]

Oh, can you imagine it, boxing day V palarse again. Would be bloody awesome, especially if it was at home.

I know people will say, it will never happen and i probably agree but if arsenal V spurs can be played on a Sunday at 4, same with​ the Manchester clubs etc. Why should we be banished to a Tuesday night in mid January?

I'm up for 4 o'clock on boxing day home or away​, anyone else?

Reading away. Just to keep us grounded.

 

[BrianWade4]

Hull City or Stoke. Guaranteed. And whichever of those two we don't play on Boxing Day we'll play last match of the season.

Away as well

 

[Giraffe]

Nailed on it's Bournemouth.
