Are these dates reserved for the FA cup?

I also thought the same at first, but apparently the FA Cup Games are being played on January 3rd.......

Damn shame that, New years day was always a good day for football and always increase the attendance by some.

However if we get through to the semi's we will have to re-arrange the Blackburn game

^ ditto - had an awful trip towards burnley on the M6 on new years day two years ago, even had fun throwing up over the side of the thelwall viaduct enroute only to arrive and find the bloody game had been cancelled due to a leaf being on the pitch or something equally inane.

;D

	Back to Top He broke my shin pad and cut my left shin to ribbons with a studs up challenge. It hurt like hell, but I couldn’t show it. I carried on playing until half time and when I came into the dressing room Micky Bernard was sick because he could see my shin bone. I told Doc Crowe, “Just strap it, cause I’m gonna do the bastard.” There was revenge to be had.

I've got to be honest and say I'm pretty chuffed there isn't any New Years Day fixture this year. It is hardly the best cure for a hangover! It also means I can go to Mallorca for my New Year celebrations

Also, I've always thought the FA Cup third round should be played on 3 January (perhaps my first memory of the cup was on that date?!)
