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.

our ground seems to have on average more though.
One minor justification - although it hasn't been so bad the last few visits is/was the police controlling how many people get in the station.
Why has Drayton Park never been opened after games. If it isn't deemed safe then why haven't safety refurbishments happened?
A train that goes up to Herts would probably halve the crowds after the game.
We could probably do a shaming exercise of photgraphing the early leavers to the ground and posting them on a wall of shame in the rocket and 12 pins or here on the gooner forum. Put up posters of them outside the tube stations.

To those 'supporters' that you are sharing a platform with, who have seen fit to leave the stadium with five to ten minutes left - a co-ordinated response of fooling them into believing the score was radically different to the actual score - if say we won 1-0, kid them into thinking we lost 3-1 with 3 late goals and how down in the dumps you are. If we lost 0-1 tell them and act as if we turned it around and won, jumping around in celebration.
Invent an extraordinary event like a 22 man brawl or a player breaking his leg. A big con that makes all these people travel all the way back to the home counties thinking it was the actual result and then tell their friends and family how they witnessed such extraordinary events that never even happened. For that moment at least they'll believe you as they are under the ground and can't call anyone by mobile
Make right mugs if them
but must be a co-ordinated response.
Great plan but we need Ocean's gang to pull that off. What happens if people are listening to their mobile-phone radio after leaving the stadium? Also why would they tell their family and friends about these stuff, wouldn't they check Teletext and Internet first? Also, you'll need all non-early-leaving Gooners to be in with the plan

It'll be all changed when Gooner Miliband becomes the PM. It'll be legalised against early-leavers and Tottenham-supporting folk

You must be the most intelligent guy on this forum when it comes to politics and laws
