They get bigger audiences for later kick-offs. Probably deliberate as well to dovetail with the Champions League Final.

Only if they have BT sport
Actually, having looked for it on the FL website - I can't find it! Weird.

You can bet your bollocks the first leg games will be scheduled by Sky (not the FL, of course) for maximum inconvenience.
It just had to be didn't it, one of our best shots at reaching the promise land for years and I'm at a f*****g wedding. Better get automatic now
You mean that funny part of the wedding between say 5 - 7 when nothing really happens, be rude for you not to pop back to your hotel and watch the PO Final, mind you don't understand why you'd want to watch Boro v Derby when we're already in the Premier League, but each to his or her own
I may be selling tickets to see the Manic Street Preachers supported by Editors at the Liverpool Arena if we end up playing on the 13th..........................OR will try and avoid the score and watch it 'live' when I get home, which is what I did when we played Swindon in the second leg of the League 1 playoffs.

I think the only way a wedding would stop me would be if it was my own (and I'm not doing that again!)It just had to be didn't it, one of our best shots at reaching the promise land for years and I'm at a f*****g wedding. Better get automatic now
Sky sports on a sneaky phone then?
I wouldn't, I ****ing hate 12:30 kickoffs. Love friday night games.

Me too! I'm trying to work out a way to watch it. Looks like it'll be on my phone though, not what I had planned.

I'll be missing the final then, should we make it this time.
To be fair, the date for the final was announced last July.
It's the next best/worst thing, it's my brother's and I'm the best man
I'll probably be too bitter to stomach keeping up with the match!
The wedding is in Surrey and I believe is an early KO...quick dash up the M25 perhaps?

Stop bloody moaning!
Friday 13th. Hope no-one on here is superstitious.

Bad planning on my part I guess, but it's the only school holiday that I can take the family away. On the plus side, there should be television or internet available in Germany.
Anyway there is a lot that has to happen before it's an issue.

They will hope for no extra time and penalties and one will follow the other and they will monopolise the box. I hope for a BHA v Ipswich final and Kiev v Wolfberg final so their RB coverage is not watched by anyone apart from those that give a shit.

Unless it's your wedding throw a sickie sure it will be worth it if we make the promised land
The games are on different channels (Sky and BT) so I doubt there is any collusion.
