Arsenal to increase the capacity at Emirates Stadium as club plots 'Operation Saturn' project
Arsenal are planning to increase the capacity at the Emirates by around 800 seats.

The plan - named ‘Operation Saturn’ - will see the extra capacity added to the existing club level seating at the ground.

Arsenal are currently in discussions with Islington Council about the project as they look at ways to add extra seating to their north London home.

It really is all about the money at Cashburton Grove isn't it. :roll:

Operation Saturn should be the codename for an undercover operation to shoot Wenger.

Yep it's all about the money for sure and yet our clueless owner,directors and manager still toss away £60m with the Sanchez fuckup. Not to mention millions wasted on contracts for non performing players. What a way to run a plc - amateurs the lot of them!

It's 800 seats ffs.. which we already had when the ground was built, why the need for some stupid title "operation Saturn"?, hardly f*cking dramatic is it?.

As I said just a load of low key corporate crap for Arsene Stanley PLC.

Good luck flogging those club level seats after we finish midtable and you have other London clubs with better stadiums than the shitty corporate bowl.

This club is FUBAR.

Run it the f*ck into the ground for all I care, the point of no return has been reached.

The more hospitality seats there are the more marginalised real fans become.

Why were the seats taken out in the first place? It was hardly to make room for the great unwashed I'd imagine.

Is this just so they can say it's more than 61k and therefore the new SHL? Complete bollocks.

Apart from making one rich prick money, the club is pointless right now.

I read it was to be compliant with the number of spaces that need to be allowed for wheelchair supporters. When the stadium was built there wasn't enough.

I know at the end of the day it doesn't really matter but it is good to have a bigger ground than sp*rs.

I would rather have Highbury than worry about Spurs having more capacity!

Err according to the article it won't be 61K just closer to or above the 60,432 or whatever it was when the corporate bowl opened, so we can't even get a little satisfaction from knowing it's bigger than SHL, that is how pathetic we are these days thanks to the group of bean counting old c**ts who run the corporation (not even going to bother referring to Arsenal as a FC anymore).
