Pendle Red, you miss my point;

v Bradford there were 1480 home fans, the previous home match was v Shrewsbury with 1057 home fans. 30% up. The view is that no matter who you play at home Boxing Day/ New Year the home fans will turn out.
So then save the derby/ local games for Feb or November when gates are lower and clubs should get the benefit of 2 higher gates.

Then add in the police cost factor, and in London a noon or 1pm kick off for bank holiday games which leads to the general view of no FL derby's at the bank holiday's
