    This was mentioned by Stan Collymore on the radio last week. Still there is one positive, you can get up there early doors and have the rest of the weekend to go site seeing around Middlesbrough.

    Yes. It's a long way to travel to Brentford and Fulham for the vast majority of our supporters

    That's not the point Yorkie. Quite a few of our fans travel from abroad. In order to get the best flight deals they have to book them as early as possible. When there's a fixture change it comes at a huge expense and possible complications in getting alternative leave from work. It's also possible that fans intending to go to the Boro game had already booked train tickets for the same reasons.

    Is there any way of finding out of potential fixture changes during the Xmas break?

    I'll be in the UK for a few days and want to take my son to the Huddersfield game on 28th. I have to tie in getting to London, picking up hire car and getting back to West Country. Doesn't sound too hard as long as we stay at 3pm, and assuming I can get tickets.

    Any clues?

    Brentford and Fulham isn't very far for most. In fact they're quite close.
