Why are we laying on a Fri night and not a Sat ?

Because we’re playing again on Monday against Lincoln New Year’s Day. Wouldn’t wanna play Saturday then Monday really
 
I guess it shows how much interest I have in next years fixtures

And we play Forest on a Sunday (? No replay, or Xtra time)

Footie is made for Saturdays not c Fridays nights
 
I think the EFL argument is that there must be 3 days (but not 72 hours) between games for player recovery.

I have to agree with Cambers that a Friday night round is rubbish though.

In my eyes the EFL should have just set 2 rounds for this holiday period - one on Boxing Day and one on NYD with each team getting one home game.

Even another midweek round would be better than this Friday round

So why bother on here a football forum for BFC fans?

And Boxing day falls on a Friday?
It's always as busy period over Christmas it is what it is.
Next year expect Sat 22 followed by Thursday,Sunday and then Wednesday over the Christmas period!
 
Makes no sense having no fixtures on Xmas Day for obvious reasons (no public transport, family gatherings etc) but let’s have them on N Y Day (when half the petrol garages are shut !!) …….that was my point

Boxing Day has always been a sporting fixture day whatever day it lands on
 
Totally agree that there should just be 2 festive games,Boxing Day and New Years Day with afternoon kick offs ideally back to back local derbies but certainly no long journeys…..how many will be travelling from Lincoln on Monday will be interesting Given it is apparently a 157 mile journey so 314 round trip.Ridiculous.Mind you my nephew and his two boys are coming over from East Yorkshire,a round trip of 262 miles, so at least I will get a chance to see them which I don’t get too often.

and so has New Years Day, Daft o/p as it doesn't take much to realise that there is a full set of league fixtures today because there is also a full st of fixtures on NYD.
