Empty seats are the result of ST holders not turning up but also not putting their tickets on exchange. That’s a great protest by the way, giving them the one thing they want i.e. your cash, whilst depriving them of the thing they don’t give a fuck about, your presence!
Until a couple of weeks ago we have not gone to general sale so please don’t kid yourself.



Half the stadium empty against the best team in the league would suggest that you are wrong there spuddy. Last thursday night season ticket holders didnt put their seats on the ticket exchange because they could not do so - tickets can only be placed on ticket exchange IF they club sell all the other tickets first, but the club could not shift the tickets for this game so st holders seats were empty. The fact that they couldnt sell up a few hundred spare tickets for this game, would suggest that they would have a near impossible job to find thousands of people willing to shell out over 1k for a season ticket

Apparently Everton are waiting to see what happens with Wenger so he would have a club to go too which might help.

But like I said mate, that is a one off. I don't think the half empty stadium on Thursday was a result of supporter apathy. I actually do think the fact that it was incredibly cold, snow everywhere, public transport badly affected and a televised game on a Thursday were all contributors, as was a degree of apathy, but I think the former was the bigger influence.

I applaud anyone that protests in whatever way they feel suits them. It doesn't change the fact that I think it is all futile. I know you want to believe otherwise and that's you're right to do so. We all have our own view and mine is that the powers that be don't give a flying fuck what any of us think. That includes supporters, the media, ex-professionals, anyone. In fact, I think these lot are so fucking deluded that they would more likely persevere to prove us wrong (whilst digging their grave even deeper) than be seen to have their hand forced.

The combination of getting smashed at Wembley and the weather were the real factors, add to that another predictable pasting from League Cup winners at home was perhaps the fucking icing on the cake..
It is what it is, don't think I have ever seen a huge protest from supporters, we are like Stan, Silent..

Good to at least see WHU fans marching & protesting inside the stadium against their dodgy porn pedlar's board! :barscarf:

Meanwhile our support just sits there & takes it, walks away or just continues to bankroll a corrupt club, management & ownership. :banghead:

People have put their cash into a crowdfunding scheme for removing Wiggy & Wonga & it just sits there doing nothing, if that's what is going to happen, then at least give it to an Arsenal connected charity, such as the Willow foundation! :rubchin:

I think empty seats are the best protest. It doesn't look good when the stadium is half empty. In truth all fans can do is vote with their money. Don't buy tickets or shirts or anything Arsenal related until Wenger and Kroenke sod off.

Arsenal 6th
Denver Nuggets 10th of 15 in the Western Conference NBA
Colorado Avalanche 5th of 7 in the Western Conference NHL
Colorado Rapids 10th of 12 in the MLS West
LA Rams first stage play off exit
But hope springs eternal as his lacrosse team have secured a play off berth

How truly lucky we are to have such a wonderfully ambitious owner with such a track record of success

Yes we are so lucky we don't have "dirty money" being invested in our club so we can hold the moral high ground whilst being completely sh*t and making wiggy and his dimwit son even richer so they can buy some more ranches.

I know I'll rush out and buy some tickets to watch us fumble around in midtable taking the piss out of me by asking me for a handful of twenties for the privilege.

Weak fans = weak club.

But remember - "there are thousands waiting to take up our seats" :banghead: As has been evidenced of course since we fell out of the CL places. A few thousand day trippers won't replace 20,000 STs when we're regularly finishing 6th/7th and playing a brand of football that's a decade behind that being played at the swamp, the Etihad and Anfield.

We have more chance of being overtaken by Burnley, with their financially doped hot pot money than catching Chelsea above us. :roll:
I don’t expect us to win every game,but I do expect us to try to, and to try damn hard too.

Ohhhhh! stuey Stuey Stuuueeey! what on earth has gotten into you...Surely you 'know' in your heart of hearts that such things as 'effort'and 'trying' are part of the lexicon of someone who still has a tiny, tiny, tiny glimmer of 'hope' in their heart...

Can I just point out that the LA rams (wiggys nfl team) has been THE most proactive team so far in the nfl offseason, and have splashed the cash to sign some top quality players :shock: :shock: Must actually want to win something there :roll:

Yeah probably helped by using Arsene Plc. as collateral to do so.

Anyone who still funds the wiggy w*nker is to blame for this sh*t and if that offends anyone... f*ck off.
