I interrupted a 7 hour podcast on the Mongol Empire for this but gave up after barely a minute when the camera lingered on a fat boy with ginger hair on a train drinking fruity cider. Drink proper cider man. If any one can direct me to where the aerial shots of the ground are I’d be grateful.
Thank you oh lords of kickball for realising the inconvenience of a 370 mile round away trip on Boxing Day and giving us a 12.30 kickoff on New Years Day to make up for it 🙏🏼
I didn’t think of that angle - but wouldn’t that mean we’d be more likely to have a Boxing Day fixture at home if we weren’t having one on August Bank Holiday.
It could be worse tho - we used to play fixtures on Xmas Day - and we never won any of those either. Played 5 between the end of WW2 and 1957. 4 of them were away - Blackburn, Barnsley, Gillingham, and Selhurst Park! I mean just imagine. Or perhaps better not to.
Edit: I think there should be a call out for anyone who saw QPR play on Christmas Day - as well as the trips above there was a home (defeat naturally) to Preston in 1950. If someone can be found who went to any of these the club should present them with a bottle of Sherry and induct them immediately into the Forever Rs club.
After last winning away on Boxing Day at Plymouth sometime after the invention of the printing press and before man landed on the moon … to be exact 1967 - our next fixture away from London on the 26th December wasn’t for 15 years. We had 8 games at home, 2 away trips to Millwall and Spurs, 4 years where there wasn’t a Boxing Day game and then in 1983 we went up to Leicester. That can’t be a coincidence there must have someone doing the fixtures who had a soft spot for us.
In the last 20 years of Boxing Day fixtures we’ve had 5 at home and 12 away.
