Requested by our board because they wanted it on TV you mean.
Despite them LYING about doing so to fans via Gold0's Twitter.

Are you confused with the away game, lincs son?
I'm sure it will be on though.

Saturday 5.30 would be ideal by the way!

You just know we'll end up being Sunday lunchtime at the request of the club and old bill.

The reason we are playing away on the last day of the season Eddie, is because our board ASKED to because they want our last home game to be on Sky and felt there was more chance of that happening if they asked the PL to make sure we were away last game.
That is an undisputed FACT. This is nothing to do with Sky, they haven't robbed us of anything, our own board have.

Doesnt us being away change loads of fixtures as well.
Southend for example?

Maybe, which is why you have to ask for it so they can work it all out.

All games kick off at 4pm on the Sunday for the last day presumably.
And Sky will cover any title or relegation deciding matches.

So
Us playing Stoke on the last game of the season is all the owners fault?

"That is an undisputed FACT. This is nothing to do with Sky,"
Actually that's wrong
It was an agreement between Sky, the PL and the club as Sky want to make a bit of a fuss about it and show it on TV which is the right thing to do and the PL didn't want it distracting any last day games with something riding on them.

A lot of fixtures are matched so that the clubs aren't at home on the same day.
There are the obvious ones like Man U/City, Liverpool / Everton etc but some are less so.
Entirely possible that Southend have requested something like that in regards to us.

Can't see how us and Southend at home the same day causes any kind of problem?

It's because if we're away, they may get a bigger gate at home if people decide to pop along who would otherwise be at Upton Park.

So it's an economic reason and not a logistic or security / safety reason?
