Stadium Tour @ The Grove

[topgoon]

Got given one of these as part of a 40th B'day gift and was thinking of taking my nephew but I just read the crap important info on it and it says a minimum age of 17yrs(he's 10).

Surely that can't be right.

It's from one of those red letter/gift experience sites and granted it's their info that says min age but just wondered, having not done done a tour of the bowl yet, is that normal or is it just BS from the gift sellers site to cover themselves ?

The arsenal website says under 5's get into the tours for free...

It never used to be the case mate, but the club had to do something after past incidents.

There've been families from Mexico and Brazil amongst others who brought their kids along. The boss happened to be passing and got talking to the young boys, who convinced him they could play football. The boss gave them long playing contracts with a big wedge, and the club have been lumbered ever since.

The finance men at the club are trying to avoid these things happening in future.

Thought twas the young African and French families that had to be weary of that

Jokes aside not that keen on it, the Highbury one was good anyone think this one's worth it and cheers Rowly will give them a call tomorrow.

I've done the door, a birthday present from a few years back. It's ok, you see the normal stuff like the dressing rooms, press interview rooms, tunnel and dug-outs. It's impersonal and formulaic but that's modern football.

You can always pay extra to upgrade to a Legend tour - Charlie George, Sammy Nelson, Perry Groves and one or two others used to do them. That way you get some personal inside stories from the player and take some memorabelia along they will sign it for you.
Had Charlie George at the Emirates
Bob Wilson at Highbury

both good in very different ways, have to say that Bob Wilson is a class act as a gentleman and still loved the club as much as ever.
