Yes sorry I'm still struggling with the idea that I alone seem not to be allowed to express an opinion on this messageboardWell we will add it to the list of things you seem not to understand

I'll try to get the hang of it I promise
Not allowed?
Who is stopping you?
People criticise each other’s opinions on here all the time.
I personally just find it bemusing….apart from anything else that you’d even care that much to begin with
Then again that’s something that I don’t understand so I guess we are even
Just rang the Arsenal box office about something and got the recorded message saying there was such 'high demand' to speak with the box office that they couldn't even let me join a queue - really? at 3pm on a Monday afternoon off-season??
BS

We will probably need another phone receptionist to take the additional calls!
I remember when we were building The Emirates people on here were saying it wasn't possible to expand.There is a rumour that we will be extending the Emirates capacity to 75,000.

I said at the time I'd be surprised if there wasn't some ability to do that built into the designs, but I thought I read that there was no ability to do that.
I seem to remember there being some scope to reduce the size of the seats to fit more in.
The issue is that Islington Council won't allow it because of the strain it'd put on the local transport network.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Plenty of stations it’s just of course that two of them are not fit for purpose on match days (Holloway Road and Drayton Park)
I imagine extra demand could justify putting in a proper set of stairs at Drayton Park, but I imagine it would also mean having to extend the length of the platform to prevent overcrowding etc
At the time we were building the place* I remember hearing we'd given the council or TFL some money to improve some of the stations around the stadium and the money disappeared. Possibly not true. But as HCZ says, the transport links around The Emirates are pretty good. They're loads better than Wembley. We have Finsbury Park, Arsenal, Holloway Road and Caledonian Road all walkable on the Piccadilly Line. Finsbury Park and Highbury and Islington on the Victoria and some of the above and Drayton Park on overground lines. Some of those stations could do with upgrades but I've never understood why transport would be a limiting factor given the capacity at Wembley which has far poorer transport links.
*2006 by the way, holy shit it's going to be 20 years soon. Where has that gone?!
(I forgot to add the asterisk bit above!)
