The irony is Nixon is from Carlisle Utd.
The train from Exeter to Carlisle leaving after 8pm on Saturday seems to involve a 10 hour overnight stay in the waiting room at Newport before reaching Carlisle mid-day Sunday.
The only reason why telly shows a match at 5:30pm is to avoid clashing with 3pm kick-offs. But if there aren't any 3pm matches, why not just leave the fixtures alone and televise the game earlier?

No can do "UK football’s TV blackout rule prevents live football matches from being televised between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons"

A bit stupid if this is the result of it.
