Charlie getting crowned on the weekend of the last league game.

Not a clue how they’re going to re-schedule it around the play offs but either way you’d expect Saturday to be ruled out at the very least

Doubt games will be off, it’s different to paying respects like when the queen passed away.

All 3 EFL leagues are due to finish that weekend, I don't that's happened for a few years.  And each division will have to kick off at the same time as the rest of that division, so the first weekend of May is unique compared to any other.   Prem will have another week left so no such restrictions on KO times.

Prem goes on till 28th May.

The listing for May 6th would have changed irrespective of Coronation. for maximum  TV which with full round of Premier games will mean stupid times on Saturday and Sunday 

We're at Port Vale, so a decent allocation at least compared to 1100 at Brizzle will be in lottery for in the morning

Yes you're right, I'd just seen there were Prem games on the 13th without checking further. 

Yes the schedule for 6th May would have changed, with at least one division's games moved to Sunday to maximise TV.  Coronation probably means no EFL or Prem games at all on Sat lunch or 3pm, maybe 5pm KOs at best.  But police will have something to say about that, more likely Sunday for most games?

Moving the last games of the season to a noon kick-off shows no consideration for fans at all and is purely for the benefit of TV.

Weird considering we’re the only league finishing that day and have Bank Holiday to nurse hangovers. Championship and League Two both finish on the Monday.

Are there Prem games at 2pm & 4pm?

Schedules aren't done yet but wouldn't surprise me to see the Saturday cleared and a BT game at 12 . Newcastle v Arsenal is only fixture of note

There'll be no games on the Saturday anywhere, so the PL fixtures will be Sunday/Monday and therefore L1 has been shunted to noon, so Sky can show two games.

I’ll go West Ham v Man Utd 2000 Saturday.

what better way for the pearly kings and queens to round off day than seeing their beloved team play the Hornchurch boys
