Also, random Wikipedia fact now: Grimsby and Hull are the only teams allowed to play league football on Christmas Day due to the demands of the fish trade.

Wikipedia facts can be a little off at times. It would seem that up to 1957 Christmas Day games were a regular thing.

Last Christmas Day game was Blackpool 4 - 2 Blackburn Rovers in front of 20,851 - 25th December 1965

There was an attempt in 1983 by Brentford to "to revive the old tradition of husbands going to football on Christmas Day while the wives cook the turkey" The protest against the idea soon meant the game against Wimbledon was brought forward to Christmas Eve.

The last time that Coventry City played on Christmas Day.

25th December 1959

English Division Three (old)
Coventry	5-3	Wrexham

I hate riddles.

Is it Time?

Sorry for the delay. The answer is Orlando City S.C. managed by Adrian Heath.

They will play at ESPN Wide world of sports next season which has a Kissimmee Zip code.

Their stadium is having a $200 million renovation.

MLS bound next year.
