Pre Season - Who is going?

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.

Not sure about the flights but I would suggest staying at the Ibis Hotel. IT's not too far away from the transport to the stadium and there are some great pubs/restaurants near it.

Considering Amsterdam, want to go with some mates (all gooners, one a former player) but notice tickets only sold in priorities which is good for me but not necessarily for them.

Anyone who has been before know if tickets are easy to get when your out there?

Yeah Thierry asked if it's ok.......no not that famous!

He'll kill me for because I know you lot probably won't even remember him....Adrian Clarke, left winger played a few games in the early 90's.

Amsterdam. I've never been to the pre-season tournaments. I don't think Arsenal will sell-out of tickets and I seem to remember that they do not sell these things out so tickets should be ok out there. I think there is someone on this forum who lives in Amsterdam LisaGooner I think.

Stats

Easyjet do cheap flight to Amsterdam from luton and gatwick/stansted.
klm sometimes do as well if you book as a return package.

For hotels, try hostelworld.com (which doesn't only do hostels and shows small city centre hotels) or hrs.com, which has an excellent range of hotels.

Why don't you take your child with you? Amsterdam is clearly geared for the family thses days :!: I am sure you won't have any problems finding a babysitter - there seem to be plenty of women hanging around doing nothing..... :roll:

HAHA i went a couple of years back with my Dad at 14 but we won't b able 2 go this time sadly
It was brillant & the people were really nice & at least they all spoke English with even a homeless man giving us different ways 2 go (we gave him so money aferwards of what he wanted but he was nicely then others ere)
I'd love 2 go again but i'm far 2 young go on my own so i was thinking thr Travel Club would do something 4 that so i no i'm in safe company.

I remember him! I seem to recall he liked being called ADE Clarke back in the day. He could play a bit in fairness to him. Why did he leave? Was he pushed? Where did he end up? Does he still play at any level?

Sincere fair f*cks to him. 8) I'd give ten years to have played ONCE for Arsenal.

Straight up.
