Arsenal away !

[hep cat]

Ive done Stanmore before but I think its a bit of a hike from there to Emirates

Yeah - would need 60-90 mins to reach the stadium from there

 

[ThePromisedLand]

Just checked trains and doable for me catching 6:19 from Grantham £25 return based on Wed ?
11:00 return in case of pens

Booked on 16.41 from Grantham
Return 23.33 from Kings Cross
A few beers - and no worries re roads / parking.
Assumes BR do their bloody job though!

 

[Calvin Plummer]

Initial allocation is sold out, another 2.2k available.

When did we last take 7k away?

 

[Red Bread]

Let’s take this sucker to 10k!

Man Utd 88?
Was it 6k Chelsea and Bradford last game a few years back!

I'm going to have to drive to Ely to get the train as i can't get back to Thetford that late by train.
Means i can only have a few pints .
Annoying.

They would probably be able to sell quite a few more if it wasn't still limited to away members and season card holders.

7k for a midweek game would be a good following in anybody’s language.
I reckon there’s a real chance we can do em too.

Our reserves v theirs, judging by the fixture list at a guess.

 

[Red Bread]

I think if demand is still strong we could well get a further allocation!
The ground will still be half empty.

Anyone remember the old "football special " trains? When did they stop ? Can remember going to Stoke on one when I wasn't very old. Think Stanley Matthews played, so guess it was circa 1965.

Might be a river for it, a few countries showing it.

 

[orbitalforest]

Only 200 left out of 7,300 !
They don't go on general sale until next Wednesday .
If they gave us another couple of thousand they'd sell easy i reckon.
Looking forward to this .

I hope we get more . Could take 10k i reckon.

 

[ThePromisedLand]

7300 (+?) to watch Arsenal’s kids against our seconds - impressive.

 

[ZedRed]

We're a shit club with a decent following. A trip to a stadium like The Emirates is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for many, particularly younger supporters.

It's not as if we're ever going to play a league fixture there.

Bah humbug

It was around 10k for the quarter final back in the 80’s but that was mostly standing.
Should be a great occasion for us at least ?

 

[MarlowBottom]

Gutted I am away that week and missing it, as we should make plenty of noise.

I think it was more like 15k+ on the day. We had most of the east stand too.

 

[MarlowBottom]

Arsenal have given us another 1000 tickets on top of the 7300 already sold!!!
