I think they opperate the Sunday trading laws on Boxing day so the pubs won't be open until 12 I think it is,also the the trains don't run on Boxing day so theyre more likly to drive. On the flip side Luton tend to take bigger crowds to local games on Boxing day.

Also,as bad as the journey is to Grimsby on a Tuesday night,its alot better place to go than alot of fixtures we have had in the past like Swansea,Cardiff,Exeter,Barrow,Gateshead,Torquay,Hartlepool.

What a lovely christmas period it's going to be, Luton twice (we know what their fans are like) Grimsby (who could be even worse judging by what they did at Burton when they were relegated) and obviously our old moronic friends from up the road. Still, should be a pretty decent test a the start of the season against Fleetwood, looking forward to it.
