Been given tickets for the Arsenal Game vs Villa on Sunday. Any tips or advice?

Both teams to score, and don’t eat yellow snow

I never been to the area before so it was more of a which pubs to visit, although they now serve Camden inside!

Don't drive unless you're parking miles away and tubing in. And don't expect a quick getaway after either if going by tube. Hang about and have a pint then get on a quiet train after.
 I either get off at Finsbury park pre match and drink in the 12 pins then walk past the old stadium to the ground that way(it's not that far) or off at Holloway rd and the many pubs along there which is closer. You could get off at Arsenal too but there ain't pubs directly outside there. You can see the old stadium, grab a burger etc and walk a quite easily from there though.
Inside the ground the view is good from wherever you are.

The Coronet on Holloway Road, Wetherspoons that have Blue Moon on tap :pint:

Go to Cambridge.

Drayton Park is the nearest station to the ground. Personally I'd hang around Highbury and Islington before. Then it's only a couple of stops up on the overground.

Sell the tickets and go to Cambridge

The Arsenal game is on Sunday chaps. It doesn’t clash with the Swindon game. Suggestions that he goes to Cambridge instead are pretty stoopid.

Not really, get funds from selling the tickets and use it to go to Cambridge. Nobody mentioned the games clashing.

Regardless of whether or not Sippo wants to, can afford to, or has the desire to go to cambridge, the thread is about the Emirates and how to get there etc.

I would have thought you, as starter of multiple threads on advice on things from tampons to building showers etc would appreciate that nonsensical advice is hardly helpful. :)

Here you go BO.

Here you go 4D

"More" is not exclusive

Are you a lawyer 4D? :)

 ;D
I'm only jealous coz I can't go to Cambridge myself.

The new pariah  :(

Come down ladies. I was given tickets. Hardly going to turn them down for that game especially as they normally cost stoopid amounts of money.

Doh!

Apologies.

Cracking game by the sounds of it Sippo!

Brilliant game.

Had a good day. Very nice stadium. Atmosphere is totally different to league games.

A lot of tourists that go to the games, buying over priced merch. Why would anyone want to buy a half and half scarf?!

I have noticed the same from my visits to the new Spurs stadium last season and this. There is a mix of the proper old school fan that has been going for years, and the tourists who are just there to spend a fortune on over-priced Spurs tat.

Spurs having Son is a gold-mine for them, there are loads of South Koreans that go to Spurs games now.

Give me lower league games any day.

I agree whole-heartedly.

Its good to see the top players on show every now and then but the lower league experience is generally so much more enjoyable.

Yep. I've been to many games at Chelsea (friend is a long time fan), it's a mix of old school and tourists. Remember one game against Everton and this bloke sat there reading the newspaper for half the game.  :no:

The most annoying thing about the day was the transport. Having 4 london teams playing at home, and the TFL shut the major underground lines such as District, circle and hammersmith lines.

Really? That's absolutely senseless!

As the Newcastle fans are discovering its also a problem when the fans try to arrange a boycott protest as the seats are just taken up by tourist fans.

In Newcastle?  :eek:
