Isn't that the way justice usually works? You plead not guilty and a trial date is set for a few months after. Is it not just coincidence that it's landed after the finals?
In reality they could have it after the semi final.

If he had submitted a guilty plea, it would have been dealt with on the day.
As he's not done so, there needs to be time for both the prosecution and defence to prepare their cases for the trial itself. Five months might seem a little excessive for what is effectively a "your word against mine" case on the face of it, but I suppose the court needs to consider the availability of witnesses during the football season etc.
Certainly being famous and involved in football didn't mean Harry Redknapp got any leeway in having his trial date set during the season itself, so it's presumably just down to the individual magistrate to determine how long to adjourn for?

Not lookin so fookin Rosie now, is it, though?
But I reckon Harry will get off. I hope he does, as he's a star. He's playing a 4-5-Ken Dodd formation, whch is very effective for a fixture against the taxman, and the jury may be his extra man.

My cynical friend has suggested that the case is being heard at a court that has a huge backlog of cases, and of course that means the case will be delayed. I find that hard to believe as I know that everyone is equal in front of the beak.
