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.

we still invincible, even in the lowyat. lol

yeah new thread

woot.first time in first page

waruna reporting in sire.. aye aye..

Quadruple sill open

There is only ONE team that can go 49 games unbeaten. ONE!

New thread but same ol dissapointment. Frankly, last night's game was one of the best and worst i've ever seen. Best coming from Newcastle's never say die attitude and worst coming from Arsenal's collapse. ANyways, i prefer to speak about the collapse rather than Newcastle's comeback.

The collapse was certainly helped by the ref's decisionmaking, which was rather appaling. First, Barton was throwing in challenges like he had a quota to do so before even being booked. He did it in the first leg where we lost and he did it again last night. I mean that challenge on Diaby, its tackles like those that breaks legs. No doubt Diaby was rightly sent off but when refs don't book these tackles, it only encourages on field thugs like Barton to continue doing it.

After the red card, i think Arsenal completely lost it. It's almost as tho we pushed the "self destruct button". We couldn't hold the ball, and that is super important when you're 1 man down. We should have just kept the ball, maintain possession and suck up what's being thrown at us. I think mentally, the players lost it after the 3rd goal. That was a soft penalty to be given. One of the softest i've ever seen. It wasn't even a handball and to begin with, the player was not even in a goal scoring opportunity. Dowd's completely got it wrong. I think a penalty is given when a player is denied a clear scoring opportunity. I can't remember who the player was, but he was completely not in any clear scoring opportunity. I would accept it if its a handball by Rosicky.

Nevertheless, it was 2 points lost rather than 1 point gain against Man Utd who coincidentally lost. The game was shocking. In Arsene Wenger's words, mathematically we lost 2 points but it was the psychological damage that is bigger.

In the end we are still the same, we cannot defend to save ourself it's really shocking that we failed to defend a 4 goal lead. Maybe next time we should just continue attack even if we're down to 10 men

Anyway i guess we can all cheer up a little bit because we now got another chance thanks to Wolves.

Regardless of the scoreline, I think closing the gap to four points is still better than nothing, they could have open the lead to 7 points . That to me would be a bigger dent to our title hope.

btw I that some "fans" said that we keep talking about their loss, apparently those "fans" did not check their own thread when Newcastle scored the equalizer, they're celebrating like they've won the league
