[spence]

Rather match B dates

 

[RM-Taylor]

Why on earth a 5pm kick off for the final?

 

[Gazwag]

Why on earth a 5pm kick off for the final?

So the fans can spend all day drinking beforehand, always a good idea

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Why on earth a 5pm kick off for the final?

so we can all get pissed

I don't get it Champions League final starts at 7.45. Say its extra time and pens surely they will almost overlap

 

[El Presidente]

Is Match A 3rd v 6th or 4th v 5th?

 

[Gazwag]

Must admit the thought of two trips in two weeks to Middlesboro for a stupid o clock early KO in fills me with dread

 

[Goldstone1976]

Is Match A 3rd v 6th or 4th v 5th?

Yes. Hope that helps.

 

[Mackenzie]

I'll be missing the final then, should we make it this time.

 

[Stat Brother]

Assuming there's no play off for relegation, I don't see how this effects the Albion.

It seems odd given the Champion's League Final kicks off at 7.45 UK time on the 28th. If the game goes to penalties it'll clash, which isn't great for the potential TV market. I know that the Champions League is now on BT and the Playoff Final will be on Sky (I assume), but shifting it to earlier in the day would be better for attending fans and for the TV audience.

 

[Ernest]

Why not 3pm ?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Why not 3pm ?

That's sooo last century.

Yeah makes no sense at all. I think pens would finish at 7.40 est, its almost dunno delibrately by Sky to irritate BT

Except it won't really. I imagine most neutrals would pick the Champion's League final.

 

[DTES]

Is Match A 3rd v 6th or 4th v 5th?

Sky will decide that on Thursday 12th May.

Play off game 5pm ko 2nd half say 6.04pm. Extra Time say 7pm Penalties 7.40 we miss our 1st 3 fame finishes 7.42 leaving 3 minutes to get a new beer from the fridge.

Not great if any of Burnley Middlesborough or Hull reach the final for train travellers.
