I do believe for a few years back in the 30's they played Christmas day and boxing day.

Re: good old days..
Saw Paddon make his debut for us, it was his cross that lead to the only goal of the match giving us a much needed win, if the old memory serves me it was against City. A gifted and really good player, sadly missed.cockney hammer wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 9:47 am

Re: good old days..
I think even into the 50s we'd play Christmas Day/Boxing Day - often home/away double headers against the same team.

Yep. Our last Christmas Day game was 1958 ( newly promoted then) v Spurs. We won 2-1.

Re: good old days..
Apparently we only signed 1 player for that season, Phil Woosnam. He scored that day too.
We were unbeaten in our last 10 Christmas Day games !

Mind you, the trains used to run Christmas Day then too... and everyone worked on New Years Day as normal - but with a huge headache...
