With only 19 days notice, the Newcastle United v West Ham United match has been moved.

The Premier League and the clubs revealing the change on Tuesday afternoon.

The NUFC official announcement stating: ‘Newcastle United’s final home game of the season against West Ham United has a new kick-off time after being included in the latest round of Premier League fixture amendments.’

The club going on to say: ‘The Magpies had been due to face the Hammers at St. James’ Park on Sunday, 17th May, with kick-off initially set for 3pm BST.’

It is ridiculous that this happens with such short notice, less than three weeks before the game.

The only reason it has been moved if of course due to the broadcasters, with Sky Sports to show the match with a now 5.30pm kick-off on Sunday 17 May.

Finally though all the remaining dates and times now set in stone, hopefully…

Newcastle v Brighton
Saturday 2 May (3pm) is confirmed

Nottingham Forest v Newcastle
Sunday 10 May (2pm) is confirmed.

Newcastle v West Ham
Sunday 17 May (5.30pm) is NOW confirmed.

Fulham v Newcastle
