I suspect Sky will have half an eye on the prospect of us securing promotion at Blackburn. The chances increase if our game is on after Ipswich v Boro.
Would them playing on the Tuesday now not mean we would be more likely to get the Friday as we have no midweek fixture? And them the early ko Saturday.
Friday night is the premium slot for viewership with no PL competition, and Ip v Boro is clearly the best game of the weekend so it feels a no brainer.
Getting ahead of myself a bit here but Ipswich’s game at Portsmouth has be rearranged until April 14th meaning their game vs Southampton most likely isn’t being played until late April. Very real chance that we end up getting promoted in the middle of the week while not even playing.

I'm very happy with a games congestion for our nearest opponents. The last time we had one was when we made the SF of the FA cup and we all know how that ended.
