There's something very old-school about the National league festive fixtures. For example, Southend play Boreham Wood home on the 10th December and then away a week later. Then they play Bromley on Boxing Day and again in their next game, on New Year's Day. There was a time when the higher leagues were like this too - and I think Town's history has some of the most colourful examples of shifting fortunes over the two games.
