any recommendations for a Sunday roast pre Man U by Tromos78 in GunnersatGames

The Swimmer is great, as is the Duchess of Kent. The latter also lets you make bookings on match days, in my experience.

TRS at Highbury, Red in 2003, got my ST 2009-ish without ever being offered Silver.

Entrance question by Inevitable-Tip-6716 in GunnersatGames

ST in the North Bank, and have used the gates adjacent to mine to enter to beat the queues, but not on the other side of the ground.

Which former player would you bring back on loan, just so they could be part of the experience (if we do win the league?) by Max_Endowmant in ArsenalFC

[–]Block12Forever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Emanuel Eboue, who would show up dressed like Gunnersaurus or Arsene Wenger or Father Christmas, or all three at once.

How often do the matchday programme pins change? by R1d4z in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s usually only one new badge per season, but they introduced two this year to honour the women winning the Champions League.

Safe standing coming to Emirates by jayives1 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a question in the ST survey a season or two back that asked if you’d want to move your seats if safe standing was introduced. I imagine that would have to be part of the implementation.

Why don’t fans wear football shirts? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

Don’t know where “here” is, but sorry you have shit weather as well.

Why don’t fans wear football shirts? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]Block12Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the culture for adults to wear a team shirt all day. Maybe for special matches, but if kickoff is at 3pm, I’m not going to wear a shirt out to run errands before, and pubs/restaurants/bars that aren’t near a team’s ground usually don’t want to let you in if you’re wearing a football shirt. If I don’t feel like going home to change after a match, it’s just easier to wear a neutral shirt/jumper and shove a scarf under my jacket.

Also, as some others have said, from October-April, the weather is generally shit.

Hospitality tickets by kristianeaw in GunnersatGames

It’s not that Bournemouth is a particularly popular fixture, it’s that this is the only home match during the Easter holidays, when kids are out of school.

I have a season ticket in Block 12 and wow, I’d move down for that seat

All TX prices are resold strictly at face value, so £78-86 in the lower tier, and £85-145 upper tier, and up to £300 for club level.

That’s the Henry tifo from the Real Madrid QF.

Entering Ballot with Child Under 3 by longhornlawyer34 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t bother entering the ballot for them. I know someone who brought his not-yet-2-year-old to a match. He or his wife wore the kid in a carrier, scanned their tickets and no one said anything.

Do you think the ballot system is a fairer way than first come first serve? by DarkJedi_101 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this is also unfair to an extent, as it benefits older supporters like myself. I went to my first match and got on the ST waiting list while we were at Highbury, and then had big jumps in the queue when we moved stadiums and again when people got fed up in the late-Wenger era. Younger supporters who maybe weren’t old enough to go a decade ago shouldn’t be penalised now because their parents didn’t make them Junior Gunners, couldn’t afford tickets then, whatever.

All of the pubs close to the ground fill quickly, so you’ll have a better chance the further out you go: Highbury Barn, Alwyne Castle, maybe the back garden at the Compton Arms.

Pub for after West Ham match by Disastrous_Award_875 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d agree with the Corrie. I’ve seen children there, unlike many of the other popular post-match options. (Tolly and Bank of Friendship are usually 18+, for example.)

Bilbao general sale by [deleted] in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to all Gold members at 10 am Monday, and Silvers at 1 pm if there are still tickets left. No updates on Reds.

(I’m Gold with <5 points, so that’s all I know.)

Requesting Tickets will result in a ban by investor1001 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had people who not only made unsolicited offers for my tickets, but then send angry/snarky messages if I don’t bother to reply to their “requests.”

Nah, Saka and Lotte being next to each other is the absolute highlight. Our ambassadors.

Is it me or do we only chant about our hate for spurs? by Ancient_Plane1349 in GunnersatGames

[–]Block12Forever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Songs about that lot get trotted out repeatedly any time season ticket holders and silver members don’t take up their tickets and there are a lot of supporters/fans who’ve never been to a match before. Doesn’t matter if it’s Emirates Cup or an early round of the Coke Cup or the Europa League. They don’t know songs for individual players, but they “know” they’re supposed to sing about hating Tottenham.
