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.

Good that we're forcing Leeds to share some of the pain of paying upper tier prices. Don't know why we don't do that for all away teams.
Why don't we put away fans in the upper tier?
Because chances are there'd be a fair number of away fans who wouldn't pay the upper tier prices resulting in less income for the club. Whereas us mug Arsenal sheep will happily pay whatever ridiculous amount it is to sit up there...
Leeds will need to underwrite their allocation so will have to pay.
Also if you go on the Leeds website they have said that they cannot guarantee which price band of tickets will be allocated to applicants
Or maybe we could offer fair prices.
Making Leeds fans pay upto £47 for a ticket when they are mid table championship right now is really pathetic.
They are ripping on their forum and who would blame them, they can go to 2-3 league games for the price of this.
Its a joke as far as I'm concerned and our club is fucking joke for prices, this should be a game with League Cup prices, its a fucking lower league side ffs.
Ohh we get to see Denilson , Almunia, Koscielney and Eboue! And of course the great Becchio, Leeds united legend....

Just think if we moved the away fans to the upper tier, instead of Wigan bringing 1 coach and a minibus, they would have just bought the 1 coach

As this game is part of the 7 cup games in the ST I can't see how that is possible. In that case Braga, Donetsk and Belgrade are no way £47 games but thats what it is. The price would have been the same in case we had drawn Chelsea or Man United.

Leeds are still a big club, well at least they think they are.

You can with the building of a few simple walls
How do you suggest this can happen given the current structure of the stadium given that the entrance to the upper tier is vial the stair cases in the lower tier. Those stair cases are near the the turnstiles so you will end up blocking access to the lower tier.

What I dont understand is why the fuck are people caring so much about leeds fans. They are the opposition and used to be (I believe still are) one of the most hated teams in the country. Their fans can rot in hell for all I care. As I posted on .com
THIS IS ARSENAL, WE ARE ARSENAL, FUCK LEEDS AND THEIR FANS

By the wonder of MS Paint...
I wish I had that kind of talent on Paint but I dont. However, a major flaw in your diagram is that the stairs are not where you have drawn them but on the sides and on the inside areas.
On the question of the "walls", have you not noticed that there are movable walls all around that area. It was designed to be very flexible in accommodating away fans. There will be no mixing of fans.

I have not noticed that the walls are removable but if they are, then I can see possibilities of moving the away fans in the upper. From seeing the construction, it looks like an immovable object to me

I don't know where the stairs are located in club level but thats the setup in the area for us commoners. Of course the chances of any changes happening are very slim but it's certainly not impossible to relocate away fans...

Sorry, not sure I understood your point. There are movable walls all over that area that will enable separation of all fans.

I am just saying I have not noticed the movable walls. I will check so during the Fulham game
