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.
Mods it would be nice to make this a sticky as per threads like this last season. Bit early I know, but time to put up a travel, booze and hotel thread for the first away of the season! Train tix are already pricey for this one, so any cheap ways of getting up there would be appreciated (crocit you out there? ) Also if the *word censored* at ESPN stick us on at 5:30pm Saturday evening there's no way of getting back to London on the Saturday as the last train is around 7 Thus a night out in Newcastle would probably happen, so any advice in cheap hotels would be appreciated!
And if it comes to the night out, then I'm not sharing with KBJ.

I stayed in a cheap travel lodge last time, there was a group of slags having a party in the room next to me while I was trying to sleep. *word censored*.

Train tix are around £66 if you go on the Saturday and come back on the Sunday on the East Coast website, last train on Saturday leaves at 7 so no chance of coming back after the game, thus I'll be doing the night out and staying in a hotel in Newcastle! Cannot wait!
staying in Charlton hotel up in Jesmond, only £40 per person, sharing with a mate, gotta love a night out in Newcastle. paid £40 return for train, not bad, we booked the single there 2 weeks ago for £20, then train train home yesterday asoon as saw it was 5:30 ko coming home sunday
For those who want a bit of a night out there is a National express bus at 23:45 back to Victoria at only £9, gets in at 6:45 but cheap as Wenger in a transfer market
Had a smaller ticket allocation last season and it went to 0 credits, given the kick-off time and the fact that some regulars perhaps wouldn't be there I'd say there's a fairly decent chance
