Away fans in home areas, again

Post by RickyBobby » Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:01 pm

Large group of Arsenal fans in the Jimmy Mac lower corporate area. It is common to get away fans in there but this is the most I have ever seen today, must have been 20 or so. Celebrating after every goal, talking very loudly too, stuck out with their accents. Stewards didn’t give a f.

What actually is the clubs policy on this? It is obvious that they turn a blind eye because it is money for them, but why don’t they similar to rovers and have an away corporate area?
With no police in the ground and shy stewards with many not speaking good english it is asking for trouble.

Same in the longside lower again today. I’d understand if they showed some respect and used common sense but they don’t and I’m surprised someone hasn’t been seriously hurt yet.

Clear to spot them at the end because there were very few home fans in the home areas

If this is to happen the club needs to increase the number of stewards and give them better training and means of communication
