Arsenal game?

Is it to do with the Champions League that week or something? Are Arsenal playing on the Wednesday away?

Maybe the last train from Kings Cross to Durham is about 5 or 6pm (it used to be about then anyway) so they made it a 1.30pm kick off?

Just a guess mind?
 
I usually go down the Emirates every year and have a night out in Landan so bit fo a shame its been moved to the Sunday, either way with the Arsenal playing midweek and their current poor form I would really think we could get something from the game
 
I don't think Arsenal are playing midweek before the fixture. Must have been moved solely for the TV. Makes a change, Sky not considering SAFC fans' journeys.
