Best tube station is Highbury & Islington as I don't think the Arsenal station opens on match day. H&I is on the Victoria line, but it is also on The Overground and you can get a train there from Willesden Junction. Train from Aylesbury will take you into Marylebone, so take a tube from there. BUT I would check the web on every route as Sunday is engineering work day and some options might not be available. I might walk back to St. Pancras after the game, it's a bit of a trek, but if we win there are some good pubs to drop into on the way. I have got my tickets for the Lower Tier and my mates got all there's as well.
I'm teaching til 1230 so couldn't make it which saves a moral dilemma. Despite having been to most home games this season I would hate to deprive a season ticket holder and regular traveller. Regardless, should be interesting and cannot wait - especially looking forward to the trip down memory lane pieces about THAT day!
i would have thought tier 3 was higher? i wanted where you are but i was outvoted...i hate being high! Poop!
there are 3 tiers above the bottom, i assumed 1 would be the lowest, and 3 the highest...lordy, i hope i'm not right at the top, i'll hate it! lol
Although it's high it's not anywhere near as bad as Wembley in my opinion. And the view is excellent.
According to the Arsenal website it does. Just expect queuing. Thats probably where I'll be heading, if I get tickets. I'm waiting til they go on general sale to get Mrs Bloother a ticket so we can go as a family. If not, it'll be the local pub. I've already got Prem tickets and plan a detour to the Highbury Stadium for trip down memory lane. Remember '87?
Just what I was told H - I have only been on the Lower Tier and could not remember the rest of the ground. Fingers crossed for you
Those £1 coach seats are brilliant ..we do have great owners . Still debating whether or not to go .It's a long day out from Buckingham ..will have to wait for when tickets go on general sale and my footy sidekick has to work Sunday . Do you think we will sell all 9,000 tickets ? I can watch it live on BT sports .
Apparently according to Twitter, we had sold around 4,500 about an hour ago so I suspect we will eventually sell out but not before Thursday.
I remember going to a match at Stamford Bridge just after the new main stand was built , it was very steep and we were high up ...Felt sick and dizzy for most of the game . My lady found it difficult being high up in the Rookery a few weeks back ...I loved the view , it's a gentle slope compared to many other stands .
I went to see us play Chelsea with a Chelsea and a Arsenal mate and we sat in that stand. I tried to keep very quiet, but I think when Barnes scored, I must have let slip. At the end some Chelsea knuckle dragger started to have a go at me and my Chelsea mate tried to calm him down and got nutted for it! Lucky that the knuckle dragger ran off quick as my Arsenal mate is huge and if he has caught him he would have landed on the pitch - that was my first experience of being so high up as well!
At spurs we sat right up in the corner behind the white police observation box, could just about see all of the pitch.
