General Wolves News

Get the tribe in bed, few beers with getting ready and then watch us. Should be alright. Think we have a massive house full the next day. Due to feed something like 20. So the lack of sleep will be less than optimal!
 
Ah, PTS is one of those parents who doesn't realise that no-one else particularly gives a fuck about your kids.

Tell you what Steve, do what the rest of us have to do, if something comes up with work unexpectedly then I'm afraid social plans get cancelled.
 
On the move. Makes no difference to me as I don't attend at the moment and due to booking something at the time of the kick off, I won't see it on TV. Although it means I will be pestered by my old man whilst we are out wanting to know the score and will we be back in time to see any of it...actually scrub that, I am fuming at this change.

For those with families they have probably done a lot of planning around stuff on Xmas Eve already as football isn't played that day. I would say it would have been better to have discussed this when the fixtures were coming out. Clearly this has been an option well before the breaking news on it last week or whenever it was.
 
I can imagine it would have more of an issue if it was a later kick-off.

1pm isn't a big deal to me or anyone else I know who I've spoken to who go to the games.

Brentford and Brighton will now pose more of an issue to get to though.

Brighton away on a Monday night is fucker of a change
 
If PTS and others are so worried about the impact on people with kids, how does he think the players and manager, stewards etc etc cope? surely loads of them will have kids of a similar age eh?
 
The players would have been travelling down to Brentford on Christmas Day prior to it being moved to the 27th. I can see them being fairly happy with the changes.
 
To be fair to people with kids, as Xmas eve is on a Sunday this year and not a normal working day then you can understand why people have made plans for the weekend.
 
Well, plans for the Sunday, as apparently Sat 23rd was just fine.

If you have to miss a game because something else takes priority then that's just life, isn't it. It doesn't revolve around you.

To be fair the OP has asked why it makes a difference to people and SM has explained how it effects him, from his point of view.
 
Obviously things come up and plans have to change all the time. The differences here are firstly the number of people it impacts and secondly it is at a time of year when many people travel to stay with relatives across the country and may well have made plans that are difficult to change as they will have an impact on people other than themselves. Just because it doesn’t affect you is no reason to get all self righteous.
 
Massive kick in the teeth for all the stadium support staff, and esp. for travelling fans
 
In my younger days a game on Xmas Eve would have been great to work in around drinking

If we accept that most people will not schedule travelling by train on Sunday 24 December regardless...

Does it make that much difference, realistically? The match is over and done with by 3pm.

PTS is moaning about missing a show. How would that be any different if theoretically a game got moved to 8th December, and I have tickets for The Charlatans that night? That's my problem, isn't it? I have to pick.
 
And if it did I'm sure you'd mention it as an annoyance?

And also games have been played on Dec 8 tonnes of times, they haven't in the Premier league since 1995.

If you live locally all fine but chuck in the travel time and that is an issue

Games do move and cause issues all year round and its a bugger, most people will have had the choice at some point of go to the game or do the thing they planned before they knew the game moved...still gonna have a bitch about it though aren't they.

. I can see why people will be extra fuming at this one mainly because of the incoming grief on the family events side of things.

The moaning will of course be balanced out by the things were better in the past "shut up moaning we used to have to attend a game on Christmas Day and then Boxing Day, don't know you are born you lot" (generally said by someone born in 1972 though)

Probably. I wouldn't pretend it's an outrage though as last time I checked the Premier League don't phone me up to check if I'm free on their new date.

It's worse with Madeley because it's his fucking job. I don't get to sack off projects that need completing by Monday because I'm going to my Dad's for Sunday lunch. Sorry but I told him weeks ago I'd be round, I'm sure you understand.

Plus the whole pretence that Christmas Eve is special, no it isn't.
