It entirely at the behest of the commercial television companies who regard a 5 o’clock kick-off as primetime giving them the maximum viewing figures and therefore the maximum in advertising revenue.
Wigan Athletic are playing in the FA cup final, they can ko at 5.30 on a Thursday afternoon for all I care. Stop whining and enjoy the moment.
I think the club are putting special trains on, the reason they didnt do it for the semi was there were work scheduled on the line therefore all trains stopped after the 20:30 train, this work should be completed by the final therefore trains are allowed to run later.. check with the rail companies that own the line (not sure which one)

I have read somewhere that from 2014 its going back to the final Saturday of the season at 15:00 kick off. I thought it kicked off at that time cause of other games but there is no football league fixtures that day (probably play offs) and all the Premier league have moved to Sunday bar 1 so its just for the maximun audience figures on Tele, they reckon that it does make a massive difference for TV figures.
