Friends have also booked.
Be mindful of Potentially Wenger’s last home game, Europe, which might mean a date/time change

I've considered booking but don't want to risk it really. Think SKY have chosen to show every Arsenal game in April, if they think it could potentially be Wengers last ever game at the Emirates it will definitely be chosen for TV.

If Arsenal get through to the semi-finals of the Europa League, the second leg will be played on Thursday 3rd May, which will probably mean our game moving to Sunday 6th May.

Would the Premier League take any notice of the Burnley Player of the Year Award night when scheduling fixtures ?

Didn't someone post on here that there line closures between Rugby and Euston that day? If so, you'll be on a replacement bus.

No is the simple answer to that and I think there is a good chance that game could be moved because it could be Wenger's last home game in charge.

Why is the player of the year night before the season finishes anyway? Moving it to after the Bournemouth game would make a lot more sense.

Sensible question - it also means the supporters clubs can't have their evening on the Tuesday after Arsenal because of this and that's had to be moved forward to the Monday of the previous week.

The Manchester to Euston service won't be affected by the works around Rugby on either Saturday or Sunday.
I booked tickets for both days and they are flexible times. You can come and go as you wish.
Then cancel whichever day we don't play on for £10 for the group booking admin fee and get a refund for the remainder.

The lines aren't closed, just a reduced service and slower travelling times.
