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.
did you see how many empty seats their were around blocks 8 and 9 today? looked like the type of stand youd see at a wigan or bolton game! was loads of empty seats all the way thorugh the match (not just late comers)
not just in them 2 blocks either though, there was loads of empty seats everywhere today, im sure whoever counted the attendance was either wrong or just lying
can't belive people didn't turn up...can't wait for the everton game...should be a record low attendance
i know this is kind of a useless rant, it just pisses me off...aswell as stupidly posh people trying to sound intimidating "you cheating fucking *word censored*...wheres my damn caviar"
oh and other than that good (albeit pointless) cross what exactly did ade do? surely given the fact NB was playing well it would have been better to leave him up front?
hleb once again was amazing!!!! came on ran into two players went down...great contribution
cesc was pretty bad today at times aswell looked like he's in dire need of a rest if you ask me, passing was sloppy
i had this wanker sitting next to me who spent the whole of the first half reading the program,whats the point of going if youre gonna sit there reading

haha someone next to me spent the first 5minutes texting someone so pointless
They were absolutely everywhere... Empty seats that is, not wankers...
Did U see all those seats in a group behind the goal lower, probably section 24? About 20 of them together, didn't fill up til 30mins in!
My mate and I scrounged the Ticket Exchange for weeks trying to score tix for today and miraculously got some! But there were empties all over - on all tiers, not just Club Level or not just at the end. Fucking disgraceful!
Cheers to the chap who decided to get up 30mins in for a piss. Then left in the 70th minute. Fuckface, my mate (and many others) could have had your seat!
Seems like this is becoming an issue. WHY should these people go the games and genuine fans like me and others on this forum dont. something is not right!!!!!
I SAT IN MY MATES SEAT TODAY, BLOCK 126 UPPER TIER BEHIND THE AWAY GOAL, AND IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT OF ME WERE A MAN AND HIS YOUNG SON, WHO WERE BOTH LIVERPOOL FANS; AND TO MY LEFT WERE ANOTHER MAN AND HIS SON WHO, DESPITE TRYING TO BE DISCRETE ABOUT IT, I SUSPECT BY THEIR BODY LANGUAGE WERE LIVERPOOL FANS.
NOW HOW THE FUCK IS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? WHY WOULD ARSENAL FANS SELL/GIVE THEIR TICKETS TO AN AWAY SUPPORTER? NOW I KNOW SOME TOUTS HAVE MANAGED TO GET SEASON TICKETS OR OTHER MEMBERSHIPS, BUT SURELY THAT DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE AWAY SUPPORTERS IN OUR END? IT WAS EVEN WORSE ON WEDNESDAY.
I had this wanker sitting next to me who was constantly looking over my shoulder while I was trying to read my program. As for the people always getting up and shouting when arsenal were attacking, well..... I don't know if I should tell you about the rows of legs i had to shove through and feet I had to trod on so that i could get my pre-half-time beer and pie.
And, then they even had the nerve to start the seocnd half without me......

SUCH WAS THE CLUBS RUSH TO SELL SEASON TICKETS TO ANYONE WHO HAD THE MONEY TO BUY ONE, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ARSENAL; AND GIVEN THEIR PROMISE TO MAKE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE AVAILABLE TO ISLINGTON RESIDENTS - SOME OF WHOM SEE FOOTBALL MERELY AS AN EVENT TO BE SEEN AT, MUCH LIKE THE THEATRE; AND ALSO BEARING IN MIND THAT ARSENAL WERE GIVING AWAY SEASON TICKETS AS A BRIBE TO ANYONE BUYING ONE OF THE FLATS, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THE STADIUM IS NO LONGER FULL OF GENUINE FANS?
THAT'S WITHOUT INCLUDING THE INCREASED NUMBER OF COPORATE AND EXECUTIVE BOXES AT THE NEW GROUND, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE ALREADY A QUITE HIGH PROPORTION OF SPECTATORS THERE THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTERS OF ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OF THE WORD.
we should all make banners as big as possible saying "sit down, its not over yet" when we see people leaving early, im sure we'd get the message accross if we could get a few thousand of them spread about
most of the empty seats today would have been season ticket holders with children flying off on holiday with their kids cos the schools are on spring break....too selfish to think of other fans and put their seats on tx...although some may have given their seats to scouse work mates by the sound of it....the blackburn home game was available to red members for a week for the same reason, that was the half term break

why not just keep the exits closed until the final whistle, they don't open the doors at the theatre 10 mins before the end...."TO BE OR NOT TO B...WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having only a Red Membership and limited funds due to spawning mini-me's I've made about 5 games this year and each time I've seen empty seats in the whole ground. And I mean multiple empty seats, even after chasing a red ticket for one hour finding out it's sold out, then following the game on TV just to see row after row of empty seats? Someone is getting screwed. And my bum hole just can't take it a lot longer.
