But it is not required to drop Citv at all, the matches do not kick off until 5pm, with the regional news at 4.30 on the days of matches. It looks like Citv will have been axed from itv 1 all together as there is no presence on a Saturday morning from that week either.
As Ronant mentioned, some of the early games kick off at 2pm BST. Also, many of the games kick off at 3pm and 4pm. So there is some sense to it. Perhaps there is an alement of trying out something new, with just a thought about whether it would be a good idea in the future. Oh, and BB being on at 10 isn't irrelevant either, it seems to be a bit of a mission this year to stuff Big Brother.

ITV's scheduling is pretty stange - even by their standards.
It's no secret they want to get rid of CITV - it could easily continue in it's 3.00-4.30pm and just be dropped when required.
Emmerdale at 10pm is the strangest though - you could understand it more with Corrie as it's been moved to that slot previously, but it makes little sense with Emmerdale.
This is why the soaps should be given a complete rest - or at least have episodes dropped when games take their slot - rather than move about the schedule.
