Dave Edwards: No Molineux festive action for me - but I'm still positive about Wolves' position
We’re one of several supporters who I imagine won’t be at Molineux for the Christmas Eve clash against Chelsea.
We have a tradition in our household where my wife and the children go to the Christmas panto in Shrewsbury. When we saw the fixture date my son and I very delicately put the subject on the table – and my son is very disappointed not to be going to the game!
But it’s a family tradition for us, so that’s how it is. I’m not a great fan of the date but only because I’m missing it. I don’t think it’s the worst thing.
As a player I wouldn’t have minded it, I think I’d have been able to enjoy Christmas Day a little bit more, as a recovery day. Then playing a day or two after Boxing Day.
I probably feel mostly for the Chelsea fans travelling up to Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve and the difficulty in trying to get back. If Wolves win it might be a nice tradition the home fans will want to keep!
