Play off final kick off time - 3PM

[Blade22]

If the kickoff is at 17:30, I’ve got train tickets for the 19:57 from King’s Cross. What should I do if the match goes to extra time—leave early or spend the night at King’s Cross?" Train was £116 ticket £57 booze for day £50 don't want to spend another £100 on hotel.

Cant be sky holding it up...there's no other games on, so any time works for their schedule, i'd imagine 430/5/530 would be their preference. Seems very odd

The champions league final is at 5pm. If you've paid money for the rights to it, you wouldn't want another game on at the same time I'd imagine.

Yeah, maybe. Then its a simple 2pm then isnt it

 

[SwissBlade]

But what difference is the kick-off time moving between 3 and 5.30 going to make to any of that?

We'll kick off at 1730 and Sunderland will kick off at 1500 to save congestion. Were only going for the disappointment anyway, so they can go there, get the win and be away by the time we arrive.

Women's Champions League final is on TNT Sports, Sky haven't paid anything for it and won't care.

Pub I am watching it in has just updated my booking to 14:00 as I originally booked it for 16:30 saying I wanted my table from an hour before kick off, part of Greene King group so imagine they would have some interest in understanding when KO is !

Amazon have paid money as well.

If its a 5:30 kick off you’ll need to leave at half time to catch that train.

 

[Woodthorpe blade]

As a feminist. I say, you shouldn't put the play off final on at the same time as the women's Champions league final. You wouldn't put it on the same time as the men's final would you?
This is the biggest game in the split arse football calendar.

https://www.skysports.com/watch/sport-on-sky if you scroll through it doesn’t even show the fixture. The Sunday has been confirmed as 12pm and the Monday at 14:00 which both would be better than 17:30!

We'll kick off at 1730 and Sunderland will kick off at 1500 to save congestion. Were only going for the disappointment anyway, so they can go there, get the win and be away by the time we arrive.

They won`t have the win by then though - and at least we'll know how many we need to score to win!

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Amazon have paid money as well.

And Sky have no interest in that either, they have a completely empty schedule as far as football goes. The Women's Champions League final hasn't just magically appeared, it already existed, and shouldn't have anything to do with the delay to setting the kick-off.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

On Sky App this morning .. gonna be a late un !

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Maybe all of the United and Sunderland fans that are going should just arrive at Wembley and agree a good time between ourselves, cut the EFL out of it

Not a bad idea
If anyone's got the combi for the Wembley front gate, give us a shout

You won't catch the 19:57 train anyway, extra time or not if it's a 17:30 ko.

How is this not major national news? It's a disgrace. They're gonna have 70,000 northerners stuck in London with no way home at this rate

 

[JPBrods]

I'm hearing rumours that the game will kick off at exactly twelvety sincobene on saturday, ignore all those ridiculous 2pm, 3pm, 17:30 shouts.

 

[Solihull Blade]

I live in the West Midlands but has anyone emailed your local Sheffield MP?

 

[Pintor75]

I reckon Don Goodman must be in charge of the schedule

It was mentioned on the BBC local news this morning. Surprisingly there has been no mention of it at all on Sky Sports News. I guess that speaks volumes as to where the issue lies.

 

[Pintor75]

If you type in
Sky Football then click scores & fixtures, go along to Saturday May 24th and it says
Sheffield united v Sunderland
Kick off 12 am!

I'm sure pig Clive Betts won't be bothered

If you are struggling to get a ticket and can get to Wembley anytime on the 24th, here's your chance to win a couple of tickets:

Wembley is waiting - just like the fans

Question 5 for the big prize: What time is kickoff?

If it was Londoners it would have been all over the news because they all have to travel in from Essex ( non left in London)
