Just heard via Hangleton Rangers youth staff that they have cancelled their summer tournament at Waterhall because Sky are moving Albion’s home game from Saturday May 5th to Sunday May 6th.

Whilst it wouldn’t surprise me, I doubt a youth football team would have been told that far in advance of fixture changes that the Premier League won’t be announcing until early April!

Maybe they are just taking precautions?

Question - Do all final PL fixtures have to be played simultaneously.

Yes.

Our last game is Liverpool away, what does that have to do with the Man Utd home game the week before?

It's not the last game of the season.

Yep, we received that email a couple of weeks ago. It said it was "likely", but not definite

I am (was!) Hangleton Rangers tournament chairman this year.

We have no insider info on Sky coverage. We just can't risk spending money on printing programmes and booking road closures etc only to have to cancel at short notice if the match is moved (which is quite likely I think).

It's a real loss to us, a big fundraiser for both us and The Teen Cancer Trust. I also know a lot of NSC'ers have attended with their kids in the past.

Hopefully we will be back next year, better than ever!

Makes sense. Though I suppose the match might be on the Friday or Monday but it’s impossible to know before April 6th I guess.
