Monday night would be absolutely terrible.. We don’t even know what day it is yet but hardly giving employees/employers much notice to just “book it off”. I suspect it’s not as easy for everyone else as it is you to do that.
Again though, some people work sundays too! Maybe you don't but there will be plenty of people who would need to book a Sunday off every bit as much as they'd need to book a monday off.

Yeah there's no date/time that suits everybody but there is a date/time that suits MOST and it ain't a Monday night.
I don't disagree, and like I said i'd probably prefer it wasn't a monday night myself too, but the fact is the club want it on Sky and the saturday is out of the question so it's not easy to find a solution. I'd rather the monday night than an early kick off on sunday myself and certainly if you claim to care about atmosphere etc that would be a much better solution so if we take both of those options out then there's only really late Sunday afternoon as a possibility. Chelsea v United is on that weekend which absolutely reeks of a Sky 4:30 game for their target audience but ideally they pick ours instead. If they don't it won't be the end of the world though, even if a few day trippers have to have a couple less cans of stella on the train on a monday than they'd like.

The word is that there are celebrations after the game. Plenty of people gathering yo say goodbye. I seem to remember the West Ham send off being something in the region of a few hours after the final whistle, parading former greats etc, then a fireworks display. If we kick off at say, 8pm, game will finish at 10, then there'll be restrictions on noise etc. People just won't be able to see many of the things planned for afterwards.
They cant just do them before the game, cause the pitch would have to be cleared an hour before for warm-ups etc.
I know that the club have been planning, and I also suspect that what they're planning will need much more than 5 weeks to plan and execute.
Hopefully this whole idea of a Monday night kick off is just somebody being fairly mischievous

Ehhh what?
The West Ham game was on a Tuesday night, it kicked off about 8 30 due to crowd trouble.
The club specifically asked for the game to be that weekend with a view to it being on TV. They didn't want it overshadowing by the normal final day stuff because they wanted it to be the focus of the whole football media. They'll be raging if they play second fiddle to a single player.
