As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
If you aren't going to Manchester, and want somewhere to watch the game with lots of fellow Gooners, we are pleased to say that we have arranged for The Rocket to be open to show the game.
The upstairs bar will be open, showing the game on a big screen on stage. Doors open at 6:30pm. You will need to enter via the doors on the right hand side of the Rocket as you look at the venue.
If you watched any of the games at the Islington Academy, you'll know how good the atmosphere can be when there are hundreds of Gooners in the same place. So, if you want to avoid plastic Mancs, The Rocket is the place to go.
Been in there several times, it's ok, do the full range, (especially Guinness) bottles, etc etc. Don't know the lagers.... think its Carling, Fosters....

I'm easily pleased.
In plastic on match days I'm afraid.... (don't know about the lager being watered down, but the Guinness is ok....
The Rocket is the worst place to watch Arsenal on Holloway Road everyone knows it, but it's the biggest and has a huge garden and that's the only reason people drink there
