BIG TURNOUT FOR THE BEAR

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.

No problems wayno you don't have to apoligize. I went to the prague game and saw all the flowers that had been left on the roundabout and by the cannon for him. I didn't go over and do a 1 min silence thing because i thought that would be disrespectfull on my part if you see what i mean. But looked from a distance.

lol the bit about seeing all 7 goals, the person next to me missed the first by coming in late and the last 2 by leaving early, but the 2nd from last he proberly saw at the bottom of the stairs such a long way down from right at the bacl of the stand. :lol:

young ben (or anyone else for that matter) i seem to remember that there were a few stories about Denton (as well as a lot of other interesting stuff) in a book called The End by Tom Watt, it's about the history of the old North Bank and has loads of stories from the people who were there, it's a good read and i would highly recommend it.
