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.
Said it before and I'll say it again... Arsenal is a dead club under Kroenke.
Too many day trippers, foreign fans (no offence) and AKB idiots will keep him around though so might as well find other stuff to do from now on.
Certainly wont ever see me at the Emirates while he is still around, hope there are lots of empty seats so the c**t loses out on more $$$.
No offence taken, but you are incorrect there to a degree. There is a big difference between "foreign" fans and "tourist" fans. Also, many of the worst daytripper tourist sheep are actually English, so I don't think we can generalise and blame "foreign" fans. The real issue is the "type" of fan, not their nationality. The club under Kroenke/Gazidis/Wenger are following through on the concept started by David Dein; get rid of actual genuine football fans and bring in free spending "customers".
Theres nothing that can remove those deep ingrained stains ,you can boycott ,protest all you want but nothing will get rid of wiggy n the eton rifles !
According to the BBC Kroenke has changed the format to exclude big game hunting.
SO HE DOES LISTEN.
Keep the pressure up.
Not so much that he listens, more that this was going to hit him in the pocket and the decision was made. He didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, he did it for his back pocket.
This just reinforces what we've known all along - you can shout and protest and stamp your feet as much as you want, it makes zero difference. Money is the only thing which talks.

Wrong I'm afraid mate.
All Kroenke has done is take a couple of episodes out of the running order. Rhys (the guy who has organised the petition) has taken the free 7 day trial and he says it is just a sick and cynical PR move by Kroenke. Still wall to wall with sad pathetic little men shooting defenceless animals.
Now who'd have thought that our majority shareholder would cynically ignore public opinion ????????
Reason why this is such a big issue is the numbers. Along with poaching the wildlife is getting wiped out by humans.
I've no problem with people going out and hunting boar or game for food because I eat meat but I do have a massive problem with sick people shooting drugged Lions and Tigers and Elephants being killed for Ivory.
I don't even think Africa will make it illegal until the numbers are so low it's too late.
They pay 20,000 plus to go and shoot a Lion and get that photo with their smug face smiling.
I have never liked Kroenke but now I hate him.

Yeah some animal's need poplulation control because of lack of natural predators but 'endangered' species certainly don't, maybe the thick hill billy's etc. that do this are too stupid to work that out?, f*ck knows how they make enough money to go and do this sort of stuff being as stupid as they clearly are!.
Plus you have the Chinese buying ivory for stupid potions that don't work, more stupid people doing stupid things, you start to wonder are we really the most intelligent species on the planet?.
Humanity needs a natural predator because there are too many of us and especially certain one's!.

Absolutely spot on. I'm actually really disappointed this issue didn't attract more attention actually, there were a couple of petitions doing the rounds, but even they got less than 100k between them which is nowhere near enough to put pressure on the club/sponsors.
Unfortunately people have such an indifferent attitude, or at the very least don't realise the dire situation many of these species are in. It's entirely possible that household names like the tiger, chimpanzee, sea lion and african elephant, polar bear and great white shark will be extinct during our lifetimes. All those species are vulnerable or endangered, mainly due to human intervention like poaching or habitat destruction.
Even if it wasn't Kroenke I'd have been pissed about this disgusting channel. The fact it's linked to our club and there's been no real pressure applied is a real shame.
