Sadly, the Boxing Day tag will remain forever, given the date of that game. If we had beaten them 4-0 the November 23rd Massacre doesn't roll off the tongue. Last season we played them on Remembrance Sunday I think, so that would work - Remembrance Sunday Massacre. Or would it, not very politically correct and flies in the face of what the day is about.

With SYP being what they are I cannot ever see another game being played on a public holiday, boxing day, new year's day, easter monday, good friday. etc. so the ring of the Boxing Day Massacre will continue for years, decades to come. So be it, but perhaps we should change the words to our ''hark now hear the united sing, the wednesday ran away' and replace boxing day with ''wembley''.

Re 'he November 23rd Massacre doesn't roll off the tongue' = Three on the Bounce day does
Or 'Biggest Steel City away win' also sounds good

Crikey the only way that can happen is if we get relegated with them. No thanks!!

I had to doublecheck myself there Finlay!!
I was meaning the 22 Feb 2026 fixture at the Lane this season, so before they get relegated!!!

we should have won at least 6 - 0 and pig fans know it we let em off the hook yesterday and could have completely erased boxing day 79

Boxing day was sorted after Bouncing Day Massacre on their patch.

Can't agree with this.

They have the bragging rights over us in the third division, with boxing day, and possibly even the megson derby, with the way that season panned out afterwards.

Since then, we've done the double over them, in the top tier, to prevent their best ever team in living memory winning the league, and overtaken them in the championship, beginning their slide to the present, just when they were starting to get insufferable again, on.....bouncing day.

Now we've stemmed the nil nil wins and beaten them three on the bounce*

Fucking boxing day my arse.

I would think hes been told about this but obviously prefers to play with small ones.

That’s my preference too
