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.
given the shite weather and its just after xmas, i'd expect ticket to be down a little...
It's also category A and I guess a lot of season ticket holders see this as a game to get a bit of cash back that they spent over Christmas.
Although this does raise an interesting question. We often (rightly) slag off Wenger for disrespecting the FA cup, now considering this would have been sold out within 10 minutes of it going on sale to Red Members if it were a league game, are the fans not showing the exact same attitude?

Is it a chicken and egg situation though? Maybe fans would be more enthusiastic and willing to attend if they knew that AW was going to take the game seriously. Over the years, fans have been pretty burned in that regard (such as the Man Utd 4-0 drubbing in 2008 that was the biggest waste of time and money I've possibly ever spent), so maybe they've wisened up.
Maybe some just didn't want to pay above-average prices as dictated by Tottenham.
Very tough to predict with our injuries and probable lack of striker.
I think it will be a tight game with neither side wanting to lose more than they will be prepared to try and win.
We will be well aware of Adebayor's threat but I reckon he will score, and I think Flamini will stick close to Eriksson.
If Giroud was fit I would say 2-1 to us but in his absence I go for 1-1 and a replay.
Just seen there are no trains on the Cambridge/Stansted line....bastard engineering work, so I either get long bus trip via Liverpool Street or drive Hertford North to Finsbury Park...it's going to be a nightmare, imagine all the fans from Herts/Essex facing same problem, this could be why some tickets are up for exchange.

Exactly. It's more a consequence of other things including Wenger's decisions/Premier League's growth than any sort of debate about the fans.

Bastards indeed - thanks for the heads up
A nice 45 minute door to door has now doubled in time.....and no doubt I'm paying 5% more than last year for the privilege.
Still, I've got me Block 2 hearties to warm my spirits upon arrival
