    Another home game today which in the past has been usually well attended.
    However, I for one and my two sons can't be bothered to attend today. Apathy has set in.

    Wonder what the actual attendance will be. I'm saying 15,500.

    Well we'll never know the true attendance but I think the empty seats will be very telling.
    I'm going but really can't get excited by the prospect. Total apathy has set in which is really depressing.

    Not missing the opportunity to get out of the house over Christmas, I might not be bothered any other time of year but football is the one thing I truly enjoy at Christmas

    Me too.
    We are playing 2nd in the league with a decent away following.
    Shows the state of the club when big sections of the support just can’t be arsed.
    I’ve been in that exact position a couple of times already this season but I love Xmas and new year matches.
    They normally feel different to other games.
    Not sure it will be like that today but I’ll be there.

    It's a no from me, zero interest in going to VP at the moment. Might bob it on the TV depending on what else is on.

    Can't wait for this one. Well excited, sons already dressed and in full kit ready for match.
    Love a boxing day fixture hopefully vale will bring a few fans, everyone in my usual group is attending and looking forward to a few pre match pints at odd fellows.
    Come on city! give us something to cheer.

    Happy clapper

    I'd rather watch all the repeats on TV.

    Always love attending a home Boxing Day match, and despite the doom and gloom hovering over us, I'm still looking forward to today's match.

    You never know they might surprise us and put on a show.

    That's the spirit!

    At least I'm unlikely ro get started on by one of our own fans at the home game, specially with all the old folk who sit near by

    Wouldn’t miss it for anything
    Yes we are performing poorly again
    It’s city at home on Boxing Day
    Just hoping that all city fans are treated to a good display and result. They owe us one and my god we deserve it
    Come on city let’s get this oil tanker turned around

    First game,Boxing Day,New Year’s Day and last game are always what I look for first when fixtures come out.
    With Vale in 2nd this is a good test of where we actually are.
    Shame the ground won’t be full and bouncing but we all know why that is.

    Not sure why but I’m actually looking forward to this.
    I just hope we are not dissecting another “not sure where that performance came from” display tonight.

    Time for the big words to stop and the actions to start.

    Too much information there Bronco! Nevertheless, here's to a speedy recovery and the cricket ball swelling is soon a marble size mate

    Having had a double hernia op a few years back mate, which fortunately all went well, after reading your post I have come out in sympathy pains.
    Take it easy buddy. Hopefully the boys don’t make it even more painful

    Cheers mate 3 points and a good display would ease the pain but as with my medication it can only be the start of getting things right.
