Spot-on about the social aspect and the broader, larger fan-base.
Whether or not Wenger is now the best person for the job...he has contributed to Arsenal being the best club in the greatest city!
We all pays our money and have an opinion...but fighting ourselves...really
We have always been the biggest club in London so don't kid yourself that he is the reason for that Spooky wrote:The only thing that will stop me and my mates going to the Arsenal is football violence ... especially between our own "fans" ... throwback to the good old days of 70s/80s hooliganism.

Ive seen a bigger tantrum from my daughter. A complete mountain out of a molehill.

People seem to have this impression that we aren't a massive club based in a major urban metropolis and one of the most obviously cash-rich supporter bases in the land.
Most risible argument doing the rounds. Some people have waited two decades for a ST, why should they give up the social side of going to the football because of some ill-fated attempt to oust Wenger? Won't ever work you numpties.
, people have been offered one after 2 seasons. The list isn't as big as people think it is.

You don't think the club would be shell shocked at losing 10,000 ST holders? There is no guarantee they would be immediately replaced. Spare me the nonsense about people waiting two decades
Why should anyone do anything to change something? Let's all listen to Robin and just bend over and accept it, because nothing ever happens when you want to enact change. Let's all just have some drinks with our mates and wait for us to get knocked out of every cup competition. Thanks Robin!

Over the years way more than 10,000 STS have been given up and replaced. The Bowls forever pretty near rammed- Like Manure if we were playing dire Villa tactics we may get a few who cant face it but I doubt it
People shouldn't ignore how big of a deal that one event was

of course you'd rather go to arsenal than those other clubs as you claim to support arsene, I mean arsenal fc. why would you even consider those places if you support arsenal?!Spooky wrote:Like I said, we all pays our monies and all are entitled to our peaceful opinion.
I choose to follow Arsenal because I have for 40 odd years being a local boy and as all my London family do.
As Led Zep sing "good times, bad times know I've had my share" as an Arsenal fan, and a Londoner...but I choose to follow the club for a myriad of reasons.
Family, friends, love of the game, entertainment, love of sport, love of London etc...
I used to go to the old Underhill too - and it was a different type of experience but as enriching! Barnet the best borough club...Arsenal the best city club!...and I'd rather go to Arsenal than what I consider "nastier/more violent/historically racist" clubs...Spurs, Chelsea & WHU.
It's not about class, just being able to go the footie with a modicum of decorum.
What I don't get, is those that choose to follow the club to mask other problems like using it as an excuse for violence - that says to me they have deeper problems.
I understand that it was handbags yesterday...but the growing frustration needs to be put into perspective before someone does something stupid...
It's Arsenal not a Trump rally!
Of course you are right that the club will be shocked, but firstly it simply aint going to happen and even if it did eventually they will fill the bowl all that season and beyond.

1. Never before has there been a mass exodus of season tickets in one summer - I'm not saying that it will happen this summer (or even next summer) but what I am saying is that 10,000 season tickets packed in in the one season would cause a massive earthquake in the club
2. Those season tickets that have been filled before, will have been filled from people on the waiting list - that list is nowhere near as big as it once was. Last season I was contacted by the club telling me that I might be offered the chance to buy a season ticket last summer - I told them not to bother contacting me as long as wenger remained in charge. I was nowhere near the top of the list (think I was somewhere around the 10k mark) so a lot of fans must have turned them down before they got to me
I believe that filling season tickets will be very hard for the club to do in the future if their is a significant number of non renewals - for a while they might get away with that cos they will fill the seats with tourist type fans, but that wont work with games against the likes of hull, burnley, Bournemouth etc, and that is when the gaps in support will really show. Don't forget it was only last season (or early this season) that one of our games (cant remember who it was against) went on general sale - a club with 100,000 members and a supposedly massive season ticket waiting list, couldn't sell out for a match and had to offer seats to any fool who had nothing better to do on the night
. and keep sitting with mates Ive known for some years. 
le bulbeyes luck of the draw again..well until we made a *word censored* of it yesterday.
