Over to you, Moseley (so long as we avoid relegation, of course...).

Why will you not be going to Nottingham ?.

Bedford v Ampthill on Boxing Day. Common sense finally prevails thus guaranteeing a 5,000 plus crowd.

Which would probably happen anyway. A full house against opposition that would not otherwise attract such support would be better.
Speak softly, but carry a big stick.

I think the reasoning is that the away team do not want to spend hours travelling at Christmas

Because:
- I don't want to.
- It's Christmas, and I'll have lots more important things to do.
- I don't want to.

Yes, we get 5,000 irrespective of opposition on Boxing Day! 

It would have been better to have pretty much any other team. Although at least we have a home game, better than not.

I have grown up with Boxing Day sport (rugby or football).
Bedford prior to league games hosted Old Paulines, then a Bedfordshire Team.

You cite Moseley, was Coventry v Moseley a ‘traditional’ festive fixture?
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

I went to them before professionalism from 1960's at the Reddings and Coundon Road, good crowds, happy days.

Yes it was. So what? It certainly never took precedence over real life for me, even if I attended once or twice.

Used to enjoy the Barbarians at Welford Road on Boxing Day, was a big day out for the East Midlands back then.
