Via Victoria and then the Victoria line is easy enough. Arsenal are
playing at home that Saturday (to Sunderland no less) but the tube
only really gets busy with football traffic from KX north and even
then it's not normally *that* busy.

But let's hope that the OP's relations have seat reservations and are
not travelling on the 1730, 1800 or 1830 departures from Kings Cross.
I'm ignoring Grand Central who will probably have a fully booked train
for their late afternoon departure to Sunderland.


Quite - blimey, quite stupidly I hadn't thought ahead that far, I
merely thought the OP might be mildly amused that his Tynesider or
Northumbrian relatives might be brushing shoulders with a horde of
Wearsiders at KX. (Of course that's even assuming that they even are
Tynesiders / Northumbrians!)

As you say, those are the departures to miss!

I know many couldn't give a flying fig about football but it's not
about to go away so a good resource for checking football fixtures for
whatever reason is the BBC Sport 'My Club' pages - go to the club in
question's pages and then select 'Fixtures' on the left hand side,
which will provide all the home and away fixtures. Of course they're
subject to change but they're normally pretty set a few weeks
beforehand (though cup replays can pop up out of nowhere).

The BBC site offers similar pages for Rugby Union and League etc
(though beware the internationals too).

Meanwhile I'll enjoy seeing what Sunderland can muster up against the
Arsenal that saturday!
