It'll be weird not playing West Ham on Boxing Day again this year, although that could be fixed this time next year.

PompeyFrippy

Twelve games for me there (I think). Memories of 83 when Charlton debutant keeper Tony Lange had an absolute nightmare - the Fratton End struck up 'thank you very much for the three points Tony!'

eastneydave

Far too many for me, but the Plymouth away game sticks in 1986. Lunch time ko, very early coach from FP. Great 3-2 win.

storagematt

none for me, and all the time there is no public transport on a boxing day - or i stay in devon, for christmas or otherwise - this will not change!
NEVER done a pompey game on boxing day :-(

pompeyrug

One of those games was 2 days after Mrs L was born, I bought her the programme as a souvenir. I not saying which game though
