advice please

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.

It really depends mate. How much for? If they're face value, it would be very hard to turn down. You'll need amazing self-control for when/if we score, though. Also, you will stick out like a sore thumb not jumping up and down if they score (doesn't really apply to the Spuds game, I know).

It's a tough one. I dunno mate. Let us know how you get on though if you do choose to go! I'm sure you'd have a few interesting tales to tell!

There are some teams I would do it for. I have done it with Southampton in away end at Highbury and been in away end at Ajax in Amsterdam. But I would not do it with chavs or spuds. They hate us and would love to hurt you. How about trying to swap with a tout and pay him £10 to do it?

As above - under no circumstances do it and I find it hard to understand people saying anything else. It's not like the old days where they might take you out of the terrace and just stick you in the proper end - you'll get chucked out if you don't get hit first.

I think Southampton has the plan.

Otherwise for Gods sake unless you have total self control don't do it. If they suss you, you will be hurt. Watch us on the telly and enjoy the games.

Depends how much they cost, I would go if they were at a reasonable price. Who cares if it is the away end, it is still our stadium. But I don't think I'd celebrate, though; unless I was sitting in the first rows, close to stewards :)

Apart from not being able to celebrate when we score etc. Are you going to stay sat down when they start singing stand up if you hate Arsenal etc?
You could find yourself in the middle of 3000 spuds who hate you and are very brave with those odd's.
I had a ticket for FA cup final in Chavski end at Cardiff I went on to a chavski ticket swap web site. It was full of twats going on about killing the Arsenal scum. Page after page about battering gooners. They are scum.

i have spent most of my supporting arsenal life in the wrong end of the ground, most recently i was one of the 100 'blackburn' fans in the away end for our home FA cup tie with them in february.

i must say that sheff wednesday is by far the worst home end i have ever been in. but to answer the topic question, i would accept the tickets depending upon price and i would flog them outside the grove to the highest, ugliest bidder. the atmosphere will be electric and you will not be able to contain yourself. take the manure game for example would you of been able to sit on your hands when gallas scored that equaliser, if you were sat in with the manure cattle?.......NOT A CHANCE!!!!
