Boxing Day football you just have to love it. It can only get better if you are at home. Has a rule crowd’s increase this day for the only reason it is Boxing Day. Even if you are in the middle of an awful season, the biggest league crowd of the season is usually Boxing Day.
It is a tradition with lots of people to go to a game on Boxing Day just because it is a tradition. Thinking back to my younger days Boxing Day was a fun football day in the morning there would be a funny game over your local park, two local kids’ teams playing a friendly, maybe a pub team against another pub team or mums against dad’s fancy dress optional then down to Ninian Park for the afternoon.
People who would never show an interest before in what was happening with your term would all of a sudden want to go to the game, a wife who week after week belittle your affair with football in general, dons your share shirt on Boxing Day and wraps up warm and goes to the game. The girl friend that spends her Saturdays shopping now is holding your hand walking down Sloper Road while your friends snigger at you. Kids who look out of the window on a match day and prefer to stay in with Facebook or the latest console game are shouting for you to get a move on.
Do not get me wrong I am not one of the elitists fan going on about part time supporters, a fan is a fan and the more the merry in my book.
Cardiff is expecting a record crowd today and that could but the biggest Boxing Day crowd since 1970 Swindon Town, 24,812.
