What do you think about this??? Do they need a stadium renovation or get a new stadium? 🤔 Thanks for watching and if you do like the video, please like, share and subscribe 😊
Typical modern day builds. From houses that have snagging issues, high rises that get demolished after a generation. We have pre Victorian buildings that will out last the next Nuclear holocaust but modern technology is cheap, quick to 'throw up' & badly built. The developer gets rich quick.
We need to expand the ground to 70000-75000 so the real fans can start getting tickets again and not sitting on the crap ballot system and not getting any games 🤷♂️
Islington won't allow an expansion unless we can get the residents on board and pay for the renovation of Holloway Road Station and fund additional match day buses from TFL. Even if it happened the ballot scheme isn't going anywhere as there are more people with membership than the stadium could ever accommodate.
That would be nice, but the transport infrastructure isn't anywhere near good enough to support that. The capacity just isn't there. The Piccadilly line puts on extra trains, but it only just copes. If there was an extra 20k people, it would be a total mess. Traffic also get's blocked up after games, so buses don't really work.
Showing old trafford roof leaking and saying thats the Emirates was enough for me to realise this is nonsense. The renovations are in the pipeline but not this trash. The exterior has already been done and celebrated about two years ago.
When you consider the vast waiting list when we were at Highbury, it’s baffling why they didn’t make the stadium much bigger than 60,000 in the first place
Yes, there are infrastructure challenges, particularly around transport, which limit the amount of seats the stadium can safely be expanded by. Outside of heavy investment into the surrounding tube services & road infrastructure, in addition to having to buy out neighbouring residential properties, the Emirates won’t be getting any larger for the foreseeable future.
@@dazza9448 Arsenal Football Club is exploring the possibility of expanding the Emirates Stadium. The club's co-chair, Josh Kroenke, confirmed in July 2024 that the club is considering upgrades and potential expansion.
How about adding another 20000 seats so we can see them more than once a season I applied every game last season I got 1 ticket, I’ve been on the season ticket waiting list nearly 10 year it’s an absolute joke
for me we need a 100,000 stadium.i'm something like 59,059 on the list and i've been on it for years and it's hardly gone down.i doubt if i'll see a season ticket in my lifetime. we need 100,000 and even then the demand will be more than the supply.
“The renovation work on the Emirates has cost a lot more than we first thought, but in ten years time we will be able to compete with Europes elite” THIS IS WHAT IT ALL MEANS FOR THE FANS.
I went to 2 Emirates cup games one last yr and another this year, they are 2 of the 3 games I've ever watched live as a stadium spectator, the other was a Wembley England Friendly prior to WC-2018. I think they should be showing more replays on screens the way they show them on TV, e.g. foul calls, clear chances, etc, I don't know if there's something against this in professional football in general, but at least this is one thing that'd make it better than watching it on TV.
As a lifetime attendee since 1949 the rhetoric on here seems more intent on improving the corporate customer’s facilities with their upmarket lounges and seating. Concentrate on the terraces where the real fans congregate and increase their egress and access points. Having stood and later sat in the wind, snow and rain at Highbury for an age prior to The Emirates those conditions never bothered me but what happens on the pitch does where packed houses plays a significant part. All that about the big screen improvements has its place but not above capacity and viewing consequently those at the helm needs to put the supporter’s requirements first.
@@seanscott1580at least woolwich is in London unlike Tottenham was in middlesex until the capital adopted u in mid sixties u lot always have farmers mentality 😮😮😮😮
Arsenal is not just a football club from the North London, but instead it’s a global club that has a huge fan base all around the world, my dream is to come and experience the match day at The Emirates someday. Hopefully
Would be nice to see the seat numbers again. They are to faded now. Local council and policing authorities will need to be contacted over the extra seating. 70,000 + is needed for us real fans to gain a better chance in the ballot system. That needs some sort of fixing first. Since 2006 I've only managed to get into the Emerites on 4 occasions. Only 3 for matchdays. COYG'S 😮
Basically, a bunch of useless upgrades that is a waste of money. ANything other than expanding the stadium to 80000-90000 capacity and redoing the entire outer facade of the stadium, is a waste of time.
More lifts around the ground as climbing steps is a killer. Took some from potentially being built away and not enough. The lift shafts have been bricked up so instead of two only one. Also, proper restaurants serving good, inexpensive food
The fact this stadium is 20 years old shows how good it was at the time. Its looking 20 years old out the front lots of fading on the signages they should be done each year in my opionion. drop the enirates parnership so we can have our stadium named invincibles stadium or whatever they like. Increased seating to lower the ticket prices. And hold events there like other stadiums again bringind ticket prices down as the stadium can being in more revenue.
Stadium needs a refresh and upgrade, In terms of increasing capacity.....that will not happen due to the small train station not being able to handle high passenger numbers
we need more seats so more fans can get in! im silver member and cant get a ticket, the ballot system is rubbish. dont want all the other stuff give me 10,000 more seats please.
Can’t remember what screens they had in an American stadium but they were huge, get them installed at the Emirates. Expand the stadium capacity too and take your time with the rest. Obviously fix the roof
The reason the stadium won’t be expanded past 60,000 anytime soon is because there is a requirement by the council to add an additional tube station which Arsenal applied for but it was rejected.
For all of you saying that we need more seats so the real fans can go again. I'm a season ticket holder and nobody wanted to go when we were 8th and Emery was manager. What happens if we have another bad patch? are any of you gonna turn up then?
Yeah nobody wanted to turn up but the season tickets were paid up so your argument is nonsense. Arsenal could sell out a 80K plus stadium every year on season tickets the demand is there.
IMO the management needs to not just make everything “bigger”, “better” like the typical American style. In the end, that’s what every stadium devolves to. Just bigger and more things. More screens, more plush, more this that and the other. They all just look the same. IMO they should infuse what Highbury had with its Art Deco stylings, bring Wenger back in even if it’s just as a consultant to the project, and really develop the stadium as a real project in situ and not just more glass, revenue churning mechanism
I was at one of the last games at "Highbury " then when I went to my first game at Emirates , I said... They could have made it 100k capacity and they would have filled it. I was extremely bewildered when they announced 60k capacity. I thought what's the point it will be obsolete in no time .. The Emirates stadium is nice - my dad and mum lived where the Co-Op funeral shop is on the highstreet in the 60s ..They ran a shop back then ( the co-op building ) . But the lodger burnt it down , falling asleep with a lit cigarette. So they moved to Hampshire. where the North star appeared over the hospital where I was born and I was visited by 3 wise men bearing gifts . In later years- I done a walking tour with my dad around London. We visited places he grew up., worked , met my mum etc etc Emirates looks different not a match day - I surprised how quick you can walk around a 60k stadium. Also had to laugh at a sign = "no football "
Well i think they should get a good and classy stadium 🏟. More like the Real Madrid Bernabeu Stadium. Despite the fact that it has a good number of audience but i think a bigger stadium will also increase the number of audience too.
Need to make changes so you can actually see the game televised in sunshine instead of a camera forever trying to adjust to the light. For such a new stadium was poorly designed
Who really cares about the ‘digital experience’ or whether we serve a better cheese plate than Spurs. Focus on the basics! How about: safe standing areas? How about expanding capacity at least to the 70,000 level, which would not require radical changes? With United, Barcelona, Real etc at 100,000 how will we compete with 60,000; we could soon be only the sixth largest sports stadium in London. The club has done a good job of improving atmosphere by allocating areas to the ‘ultras’ - but it’s a tiny percentage of the total capacity. Give them the entire Clock End lower tier! Or even the North Bank.
Wembley: 90K, Twickenham: 82K, London: 68K, TH Stadium: 62K, that Makes Emirates the fifth biggest in London. If you also mean a new 60K+ build for Chelsea then that won't be anytime soon, 2030 at the very earliest.
I love watching our club, but I’ve always disliked the stadium in general. It’s basically a concrete bowl. Inside it isn’t even decorated. It’s ugly. And is only good to look at in more exclusive areas. We need a revamp badly. And I’m definitely happy we will be getting one. But…. I’d like to see parts of the stadium extended. There’s areas where the walls dip and that should be filled to add more seating. Looking at the areas, I’d expect somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand seats could be added. Running screens around the underside of the roof could be added. Instead of big eye sore screens. But for me, a majority clean up needs to be done on the surrounding areas. It’s just grey upon grey.
You can’t turn a sows ear into a silk purse! 2 European Cups, 2 EUFA CUPS, 2 Cup Winners Cup various Super Cups and a club World Cup make a great club. LONDON IS BLUE!
Not excited by any of this. Yes the stadium needs a bit of a refresh but the people asking for 70 to 80k capacity are deluded because: Islington council will not support an increase in capacity;and, if they did, the transport infrastructure in the area will not cope with the higher numbers as it is already struggling with the current capacity. My one complaint about the stadium is how poor and unwelcoming the lower tier concourse is. The food outlets are very poor and concourse itself feels like you’re in an underpass rather than a modern world class sports arena.
Plans are in place to expand to 75,000. The rules Islington set were all the way back in 2003 before work began. Times have changed. With the PM being an Arsenal fan and Corbyn the MP for Islington being an Arsenal fan, the odds are well in our favour. The only ones who object are TFL who insist Holloway Road is rebuilt to accommodate fans, which is ridiculous seeing as we have Highbury and Islington, Angel, Drayton Park, Finsbury Park and Arsenal stations that can accommodate all the fans. It’s about controlling the stations properly. With Tottenham getting a 62,000 seater stadium with only four stations nearby, it’s no longer an excuse TFL can hide behind. We had the second largest stadium in the PL when it was built. Tottenham, West Ham (even though it’s technically not their stadium) and Liverpool have now all overtaken us. It’s time for expansion. Even if it’s just to 65,000 to begin with and expanding gradually.
Why all the old footage of players and director of football? Let’s be honest the only thing that needs to be improved is the capacity there are over 50,000 people waiting for season-ticket increase the capacity and get these people in
Every game I go to at the Emirates I hear and see people from all over the world. As a Londoner born and bred I like the fact we are global. Just need better infrastructure. The Emirates wasn't built with enough of this vision. I am sure original plans showed on site restaurants like a village. So don't believe these plans change much except for wealthy fans!
All the pretty things you outlined are just that, pretty. What about increased capacity, Arsenal can fill a 100,000 every home game and be the envy of other clubs, thatsh
It was a bad design from the start. Pity the brief should have had to design it around the spirit of the Kop of the Manor Ground and the North Bank of Highbury ...a missed opportunity sadly.
