When was the last time we were scheduled to play at home the last Saturday before Christmas, and actually did so? I'm not sure there's that much credit required - it happens every season we have a last-Saturday-before-Christmas home game scheduled, and has done for years.

It was mentioned on the SK3 podcast a few weeks ago, that the Cambridge game is the first time we have kicked off at 5.30pm on a saturday. Anyone know if this is true? No doubt we will get a few 'firsts' this season with various kick off times to suit TV.

Same as at easter games are moved to good friday instead of the traditional saturday as they once were. Remember as well for years on end on easter monday we had a 7.30 or 45 KO rather than on the afternoon. Actually i,d be happy to go back to that.

I'm not sure there's that much credit required - it happens every season we have a last-Saturday-before-Christmas home game scheduled, and has done for years. 2013 in the league, although in 2016 the last Saturday was Christmas Eve and we played at home the Saturday before that. We have had a couple of Saturday Trophy games in that period though. In all cases of the away games, they were on the last Saturday before Christmas. 2013 Oxford City (h) Sat 21st 2014 away 2015 away 2016 Alty (h) Sat 17th 2017 away 2018 away 2019 away 2020 Guiseley (h) Sat 19th FAT 2021 Grimsby (h) Sat 18th FAT 2022 No game between 7th Dec (Charlton FAC replay) and 26th Dec 2023 Notts (h) Fri 22nd All info courtesy of Leo's spreadsheet.

So this is the 3rd consecutive season we've made the switch.

So this is the 3rd consecutive season we've made the switch. I don't think we did. I'm sure that was meant to be on the Saturday 17th but it was called off a few days before as it was so cold, same with Rochdale away the week before.

Yep, it was also meant to be the day the courtyard was opened, so a load of Christmas dinners in cups went to waste.

Fair enough. I must have conflated a couple of different matches / seasons. I remember being annoyed at how much they'd improved by the time we played the rearranged fixture.

That must have been the biggest County piss take until i found it was actually true. Beer in a dog bowl next for dog owners which has a club crest on them and we laugh at wrexham.

They’d scored six goals since August and were bottom of the league at Christmas. They were then taken over and bought a load of new players by the time we played them in March and they ground out a 0-0.
