The Emotional Highbury and The Grand Ashburton Grove

Highbury 1913-2006

For the majority of their time in south-east London, Arsenal played at the Manor Ground in Plumstead, a three-year period at the nearby Invicta Ground between 1890 and 1893 excepted. The Manor Ground was initially just a field, but the club installed stands and terracing in time for their first Football League match in September 1893. They played their home games there for the next twenty years (with two exceptions in 1894�95), until the move to north London in 1913.

Arsenal Stadium, widely referred to as Highbury, was Arsenal's home from September 1913 until May 2006. The original stadium was designed by the renowned football architect Archibald Leitch, and had a design common to many football grounds in the UK at the time, with a single covered stand and three open-air banks of terracing. In the 1930s, the entire stadium was given a massive overhaul, with new Art Deco West and East stands constructed, opening in 1932 and 1936 respectively; in addition, the North Bank terrace had a roof added, which was later bombed during World War II and not restored until 1956.

At its peak, Highbury could hold over 60,000 spectators, and had a capacity of 57,000 until the early 1990s. The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations forced Arsenal to convert Highbury into an all-seater in time for the 1993�94 season, reducing the capacity to 38,419 seated spectators. This capacity had to be reduced further during Champions League matches to accommodate additional advertising hoardings, so much so that for two seasons (1998�99 and 1999�00) Arsenal played Champions League home matches at Wembley, which could house more than 70,000 spectators.

Final moments - the emotions run high in Highbury

Ashburton Grove 2007-present

Expansion of Highbury was restricted because the East Stand had been designated as a Grade II listed building and the other three stands were close to residential properties. These limitations have prevented the club from maximising the revenue that their domestic form could have brought in recent seasons. After considering various options, in 2000 Arsenal proposed building a new 60,000-seater stadium at Ashburton Grove, since renamed the Emirates Stadium, about 500 metres south-west of Highbury. The project was initially delayed by red tape and rising costs, but construction was completed in July 2006, in time for the start of the 2006�07 season. The stadium is named after its sponsors, the airline company Emirates, with whom the club signed the largest sponsorship deal in English football history, worth approximately �100 million; however some fans refer to the ground as Ashburton Grove, or the Grove, as they do not agree with corporate sponsorship of stadium names.The stadium will be officially known as Emirates Stadium until at least 2012, and the airline will be the club's shirt sponsor until the end of the 2013�14 season.

Some latest posts from old thread:
QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Oct 22 2009, 04:10 AM)
Great fan of van Persie? LOL... that makes Robin sound so old sweat.gif

No idea how good or bad this fella is, but the issue is will Ajax let go of their two CBs within one single season? From the number of personnel available, we'll probably need to sell someone before we can add more CBs - likely to be Sendy who has a higher market value than Silvestre.

Arsene to get free rides in London?

Well I'd like the Freedom of Melbourne thank you very much... free rides, beat that !!

QUOTE(iglue @ Oct 22 2009, 05:20 AM)
just read the arsenal email. someone sent them an opinion. they said vermaelen would be the perfect replacement for song as a holding midfielder. field another CB (silvestre? Senderos?) and play Vermaelen slightly upfront with the freedom that he enjoys within the midfield area.

Sounds like a bloody good idea. what are your thoughts guys?

QUOTE(sakaito @ Oct 22 2009, 07:59 AM)
u know.. i have the sinking feeling that this will happen. Knowing AW, he'll do it. Afterall, Song was deputizing for Toure/Gallas when they're absent. So, Senderos might have a chance yet.

wow... vermy at CM? huhuhu lotsa people gonna patah kaki like that. heheheh

QUOTE(Ken @ Oct 22 2009, 08:34 AM)
i thought song is playing better and better and key to arsenal few match winning run ...

silvestre and senderos not good enough for arsenal first team at this moment ...

Some responses from the squad on last game:

Wenger laments naive Arsenal after late goal
QUOTE
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted his side had been naive to throw away victory after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser in their Champions League Group H clash at AZ Alkmaar.

•  AZ Alkmaar 1-1 Arsenal

The Gunners appeared to be on their way to a third straight European win and all but into the knockout stages following Cesc Fabregas' 35th-minute strike. However, the Dutch side, managed by Ronald Koeman, refused to give up and snatched a point at the death when David Mendes da Silva blasted in from close range after a ball into the box had been flicked on by substitute Graziano Pelle.

"You know that in the last five minutes of a Champions League match, anything can happen,'' said Wenger. "They have thrown everything forward and felt they could only score on a set-piece, and that is what happened. It is frustrating because we looked closer to scoring a second than conceding, but credit to them, they did fight well and went until the last minute.''

Wenger, who watched his side recover from a nightmare opening five minutes of their last away European tie, added: "We are still learning. You do not need to give a free-kick away on an offside in the last minute. We were caught a bit naively on the second ball, that can happen sometimes on the first one that you lose the header, but on the second one, their player was completely free to score.''

Wenger added: "We were largely in control, but as long as you are not two goals in front, that is the problem. You can score with just one kick from the goalkeeper into your box. That is just football.''


Arsenal could count themselves somewhat unfortunate not to have been awarded a late penalty for what appeared to be a trip on substitute Carlos Vela. "To me, it looked like a penalty, but I would have to watch it again,'' said Wenger. "The referee was even closer than I was.''

Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen admitted the result "felt like a defeat''. "We were in control, there were no big chances for AZ, but in the last minute they scored,'' said the Belgium international. "It feels like a defeat. But when you are 1-0 in front you are not comfortable - it is always risky.''

Wenger, though, maintained his side were still in the driving seat at the top of Group H, a point clear of Olympiacos and five ahead of AZ. "We are still in a strong position,'' said Wenger. "We have three games left, two at home, and I believe to win one game will qualify us.

"What I want is for us to continue to play like we do, focus to play better. In football, you have to produce the maximum result with your game, and tonight that did not happen.''

AZ boss Ronald Koeman praised the way his side continued to battle to the end. "We made some mistakes in the first half, like when we lost possession for the goal,'' said the former Holland international, whose team have now moved off the bottom of Group H with two points from their three games.

"Arsenal were controlling in the second half, but we kept our spirit. I made some changes to try to win the game. We could put some long, high balls in for Pelle, then fight for the second ball. We never lost the spirit. I am very happy about the result and the performance of the team.''

Given events off the pitch this week with owner Dirk Scheringa declared bankrupt, and the team tonight playing without shirt sponsors, Koeman praised the way his men stayed focused. "The situation of the club is difficult,'' he said.

"You read more things about what is happening outside of football in the last few days. However, the team concentrated well and had a good spirit from the beginning.''
