1st game of the season plans...

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.

No, the lack of signings mean I've dumped my ticket, I just can't bear to see the same players that finished last season without any new faces (of any quality) Apologies!!

All the lads from Arsenal Brasil are boozing up from 10am in Sao Paulo. If you guys are around or know anyone in the look for a place to watch it, do come!

Sadly Bg won't make it, as there's a minimum height requirement to enter the pub :lol:

Have a good one fella - bet he'll absolutely love it. Still remember my first football game (although I have to admit it wasn't Arsenal and I cheered a United player scoring :oops: )

I'm not going, Missing my first game home or away for 2 years,

Decided this season i am not doing no home games or hardly any, cost me roughly 6 grand last season and thats just the basics of going not including ale etc for the club to show no ambition, so i have took up shifts at work meaning i work every other weekend and i will be going to away games on the weekends i am off ,

im sure the club dont give a fuck i'm not going there is 100's of people who will hapily fill my seat,

i'm sure Chesterfield will appreciate your support.

its no coincidence that football league attendances are sharply higher - Brentford had 7,500 on Saturday when most people are away with the kids...

i get free tickets at chesterfield so occasionally go, i went last week and a few pre season friendly's, its just not the same tho because ultimately i dont really care if they win or lose, although they do look like they have a good squad from what i have seen

apart from that i think i might try and get to some grounds as i look to do the 92 club

still remember Elleray robbing Chesterfield in the FA Cup v Chelski (semi/quarters?)
I thought Kevin Davies was the new John Barnes... weird that he ended up being a lump of a number 9

Yea got robbed against Middlesborough in FA Cup Semi final, Think if we had won whoever we played in final was already in europe meaning we would of gone in as default,

Davis started off as a winger... surprising i know

it took me a couple of years to get back into it, but the more games i've been too the more i look to see who they're playing, where they are in the table etc.
