It's because of the TV....They are not allowed to show games at 3pm so it was always going to be an early or late kick off.

The FA doing what they do best - messing the fans around giving no consideration! Was absolutely criminal they switched Sunderland away last season to a Sunday lunch time kick off! Preston fans had to travel to Havent and Waterlooville last Monday, that's a 10-11 hour round trip! Middlesbrough fans had to travel down to us on a Tuesday a couple of months ago, that's around a 11-12 hour round trip! Monday to Friday evening games should be games involving the most minimal travel possible for the away fans. But the FA and Sky couldn't give a toss about the fans, they're complete and utter pricks!

Funny thing is I was waiting for the announcement because it's no surprise any more.
This is the power of Sky, only reason it's changed to 12:15 kick off for the fact games can be televised so they can show the last day drama like teams Brighton went down to last year.
It does spoil it for us.
I would imagine we will be playing for 3 points which secures a 10th place finish.

Once again SKY ruins football for the true football fan.
