Phone the ticket office, I went in on saturday morning and they said all coaches were fully booked - however they were taking names/tel numbers and if there was enough they might get more booked, they were confident they would (I was about number 20 on the list).

Give them a call in the morning

Good luck

Tbf I was going to give them a call tomorrow. What are you and the others going to do if the club decide not to get another coach? Just a thought...

I will probably drive down, I've left it late because someone was organising a mini-bus but didn't

I don't know ... People today are so lazy ... Walk for gods sake it's only 90 miles if you set off Tuesday you should be there in plenty of time.

Watford Junction isn't on a tube line - national rail to Euston (then Victoria line) or London Overground to Euston (very slow). Possibly London Overground to Willesden Junction and change for north london line overground to Highbury & Islington (takes about an hour).Parking at Watford Junction can be a bit hit & miss early evening until commuter parking has cleared. If you are driving & tubing the best bet is Cockfosters (Piccadilly line direct to Arsenal) or Stanmore (Jubilee line but a bit slow). Both Cockfosters & Stanmore have large car parks but again often don't clear until after commuters have left.
Watford tube station is on the Metropolitan line and is about a mile or so from Watford Junction. The service is generally a bit slow and can be a bit few and far between late night.

I'm driving down to Cockfosters and then tubing it. Cockfosters is a further 10 minute drive from Watford but it's on the end of the correct tube line. Plenty of parking and just 20minutes on the tube to Arsenal.

I asked on Friday and got told they'd ring Monday afternoon when they are expecting confirmation from Harry Shaw about the additional coaches.

The girl in the office said they were certain of getting them though.
