Good festive period, although no game New Years Day?!

Thought that a bit odd myself.
But just checked a few past seasons and in 2005, 2008 & 2011 there were no New Years Day games either.
I think the club would have bee happier with 2 festive home games. Mind you Northampton away could be off if one or both of us are in the FA Cup 3rd round.
I bet the club are not happy
1st game away
Boxing Day away
Easter Monday away
3rd Jan away
Last game away
So all big bank holiday games and the first and last games away from home.
Still Luton at home last home match looks like it could be tasty.
According to the club on twitter we're not playing on New Year's Day as 'it was judged to be too close to the Saturday when it'll be FA Cup third round day'.

2005 & 2008 we had FA Cup games on the 3rd so league fixtures will have got moved. 2011 we played New Years Eve.
And, of course, thanks to TV, 3rd round Cup day runs from 2nd January to 5th January.
