With only 10 days notice, this is, to be very understated, less than ideal for everyone affected; though, the Premier League couldn't win if they moved it or not with people finding it difficult to attend the match. Luckily for broadcasters, that day's Super Sunday comprises of only one fixture, and with that being Manchester United v. Liverpool, it is an earlier kick-off of 15:30. Sky's click-hungry post-match debate with that will have to be shortenned.

Haringey council pretty much ordered it to be moved because of the strike. I suspect the police also were not keen on a match, at a stadium as big as Spurs, with such significant transport disruption.
