There are engineering works on both Sat 5 May and Sunday 6 May between London Euston and Rugby affecting train times with some cancellations.

That Arsenal game is going to be a nightmare - you can just see it coming.

It'll be a nightmare getting there and hundreds will miss out, but we are going to win just to balance it all out

Fly down. About £60-90.

And which day are you going to fly on?

Possibly Wenger's last ever home game so an obvious change for tv so planning transport is impossible yet.

I put £60-90 because there are quite a few different flight times available with flybe. Prople could make a weekend of it and go Friday to Monday (£60)

Obviously booking would be a risk. If going saturday - sunday

There are no direct trains back to Lancaster, with trains being diverted via Manchester and a bus replacement between Manchester and Preston, and then another bus replacement between Preston and Lancaster. It looks as if they are also doing engineering works further north somewhere between Rugby and Preston.

Potentially this could be the 6th placed decider too.

Hope the club don't take the minimum allocation.

I would recommend going via Leeds to Kings Cross, can get to Leeds from Burnley Manchester Road every hour.

For people living around Burnley I think that's good advice. Unfortunately for me, Leeds is a 2 hour train journey with a limited service.

Good shout for the Leeds /Kings Cross option, wish I'd thought of it. Booked Preston to Euston on the Friday, open return, I'm sure we'll find enough to keep us occupied whenever they decide to play the game.

What about National Express or Mega Bus?

Might not be ideal but will get you there and back at reasonable cost.
