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 189495), 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 199394 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 (199899 and 199900) 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 200607 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 201314 season.

Oh no , Sol . I think he had past it , and probably became a liability rather than rescue . Our current options would be

Gary Cahill
Phil Jagielka
Chris Samba

With the former 2 would be overly expensive and Wenger style would be going for Samba . Or , loan Denilson/Diaby to Villa in exchange for Dunne lol ... any of these are better than Squillaci IMO , in term of BPL experience .

Arsenal skipper is committed to only one cause
Arsenal - Cesc Fabregas will not leave until five-year trophy drought is over


When the transfer window opens, it’s no major surprise to see the name of Cesc Fabregas inexorably linked with a move to his childhood club Barcelona.

Hardly a day goes by during the summer recess and the January window, when stories reign supreme that the Arsenal skipper is reported to be heading home.

It’s something we have come to expect; and yet it’s never happened. Neither is it likely to this time around, given the Gunners’ talisman’s latest response to the inevitable comments.

Fabregas, to his eternal credit, continues to handle the speculation with good grace, humility and with ultimate respect to his Arsenal paymasters.

Fabregas insists he has no intention of leaving the Emirates until he has brought silverware to the club which has made him the player he is.

"Why would I want to leave? It is fantastic here," said Fabregas, who has endured a five-year wait for silverware with the Gunners. "It would be a dream to lift trophies for Arsenal. It has always been my wish.

"Afterwards you can always be attracted by something else, like a new objective, or new challenges because, for me, life is all about challenges.

"But my real challenge as captain of Arsenal is to bring this football club success. This is the biggest dream I can have. I want to end these five years without a trophy and, hopefully, I can do it this season."

Will u prefer Fabregas to stay longer cause Arsenal never win any cup or will u prefer to win major cups and then Fabregas leave?

Really a tough call as i think both the positive option which are winning major cups and Fabregas still staying in Arsenal will not exist.

wilshere is still raw but the potential is there.i haven't watch him play in playmaking role like cesc so i can't judge his creativity.bout ramsey,still reserving my thoughts on him after his injury.look at diaby and eduardo.never got back to their best like before they were injured.im afraid it will take months for ramsey to get back his skills.who knows if we win epl/CL this season and cesc said my time with arsenal is over.will these two can step up in cesc's role?not really sure bout that.

hi reporting in for new thread...

ARSHAVIN BACKED BY WENGER

Arsene Wenger maintains it will not be long before Arsenal fans again see the best of Andrey Arshavin.

The Russian midfielder was handed his first start in three matches for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against npower Championship side Leeds, which ended 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium after captain Cesc Fabregas fired in a last-minute penalty.

The outcome, however, could have been so different had Arshavin converted a golden opportunity to put the Gunners ahead on 11 minutes after he was played clean through on goal by Tomas Rosicky.

But in what would turn out to be a sign of things to come, Leeds keeper Kasper Schmeichel made a smart save and Arsenal were left frustrated.

Arshavin, and also Nicklas Bendtner, found themselves jeered by some sections of the home crowd after time and again promising moves broke down.

Wenger, though, has every confidence Arshavin will soon display the top-class football he is capable of on a regular basis.

"The fans were frustrated. That comes from when you don't win," the Arsenal manager said.

"The fans are demanding. We were not consistent technically and so they picked on our inconsistencies. "It is not through a lack of desire with Arshavin. He wants to do well.

"He took one touch too many with his first chance and the keeper did well to save another shot he had.

"Every player during a season has strong and weaker periods and he has had a weaker period, then two or three weeks on the bench."

Wenger continued: "I have no worries that Arshavin will come back into the team, but their confidence does suffer a little bit from that.

"We try to analyse our games in an objective way and I am lucky because our players are self critical, they analyse themselves well and they want to do well. "

Wenger felt Saturday's game showed the FA Cup has not lost any of its romance.

After weathering an early storm, Leeds went ahead from the penalty spot through Robert Snodgrass at the start of the second half when Denilson upended Max Gradel.

Indeed, the Championship side could have doubled their lead but for a fine reaction save from Wojciech Szczesny from Luciano Becchio's point-blank header.

Eventually, though, Arsenal pressure was rewarded when substitute Theo Walcott - who admitted he had earlier dived to try to win a spot-kick - was tugged back by Ben Parker.

Fabregas, who was also brought off the bench, stepped up to fire the penalty past Schmeichel.

The Leeds keeper also denied Denilson with a brilliant one-handed save to ensure the Yorkshire side earned a replay.

"Leeds played a good cup game and that is the tradition of the English game," said Wenger.

"They came here, they gave everything and credit to Leeds because they did well."

Centre-back Johan Djourou admitted the Arsenal players were relieved their FA Cup dream had not been ended.

"It is good to still be in the cup because we were 1-0 down and under pressure, but we showed good character to still be in the cup and now we go there to try and win it," the Swiss international said.

"We have to deal with all the extra game, the manager says he wants to win all the competitions so we have to go there and win."

Djourou added: "Theo is a great player, and he gets you in the game, Cesc as well, when he came on.

"We showed we have the players that can make a difference."

There is little respite for Arsenal as they head to Ipswich on Wednesday night for the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final.

Wenger admits if Sebastien Squillaci's hamstring problem fails to clear up quickly, then, given Thomas Vermaelen is still not yet match fit, he will have to move in the transfer market.

"If we only have two centre-backs then that cannot work with the number of centre-backs we have," the Arsenal manager said.

"If Squillaci has a problem then we must quickly go out for a player."

i wonder why some fans not satisfy with arshavin contribution to the team.... his EPL statistic shows us that he has 9 assists (only nani & chris bunt ahead of him in EPL) & 4 goals this season...i think with that statistics can consider a good contribution already... form is temporary guys...but his class is permanent... & statistic doesn't lie... thumbup.gif
