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.

1st 1st 1st =) ....good win by the way!

7point behind , 1game in hand.

nice win

hope they can make 4 point behind by next week

good win that hopefully can spur them back into the title race.we got several decisions on our way.pak leman was really lucky for not being sent off.kosci was really lucky for not giving away penalty.

WE ONLY COME TO SEE EBOUE,
TO SEE EBOUE,
TO SEE EBOUE!

It seem every team when facing Arsenal have same strategy when they're trailing: Right after 2nd half apply more pressure and keep attacking. Arsenal this time were very lucky just to conceded one goal and Blackpool start to fading away in 70 minutes. That is why they need to make their chances count, i can see they are taking matter lightly after they lead 2 goals before the break. And shortly after they got the goal number 3, they began take things lightly again. Clichy almost blew it. Who knows what might happen if Blackpool got 2 goals. That's why Arsene Wenger was visibly furious when his players keep wasting chances.

And btw, i heard to be a champion or successful you need a bit of luck. Luck doesn't come by itself, you need to earn it.
