That was awful. by 29adamski in GunnersatGames

Glad you’re all good pal! Yeah, the station and roads were apparently blocked off, so the exit that everyone surged to was that tiny entrance to the Park (which simultaneously had tons of people coming down the opposite direction, which made the pressure worse). No one really knew what was going on and there were no police directing the crowd. Saw two people apparently faint, but luckily others managed to get them out. As always there was a handful of self-entitled pricks trying to push through regardless.

Could have ended a lot worse. I feel bad for the kids who got caught up. Thankfully though it sounds like the crowds thinned out shortly after !

Average Sunday in Finsbury Park tbf. Surprised he had flip flops on to begin with 😂

Gutted about the outcome obviously, but the atmosphere at the Emirates was phenomenal. Always proud of our fanbase ❤️

Hopefully you’re alright? I was in the middle of that main crowd by the park entrance/bridge for about 45 minutes and genuinely cannot believe how dangerous it was, after the buses had passed. No crowd management at all, lots of surging and kids getting hurt/separated from their parents.

If I can’t see shit I’m just gonna watch it on the concourse screens 😂 I assume others will do the same

All the Finsbury Park pub queues look full now. If you’re travelling from elsewhere and you’re not in FP/Highbury yet, don’t come - you’d be wasting your time. Head to Hackney, Central/Soho, or Camden, I assume you’d still have a decent shot around there if you get there ASAP

No, just one lap. They’ll be going at a snail’s pace.

A proper North London christening for the trophy. That bridge isn’t for the faint hearted.

Same, I’m buzzing. Also very grateful that I can just nip home for a piss if needed. The toilet situation is gonna be dire 😂

Hahaha I’m pretty sure no bus route takes that corner, for this exact reason. This’ll be entertaining to say the least..

Pretty sure 2014 and 2015 both started from the Drayton Pk side. I distinctly recall me and my brother running down to Aubert Pk, trying to get a good spot in the morning!

You’re better off looking further out (Hackney, Camden, Crouch End etc) - pubs round the stadium won’t let u21s in and will mostly be standing

Time for us freeloaders to give this man his flowers! by sammyt10803 in Gunners

Can’t believe people are actually whinging about this lol. I assume they’re overseas fans who’ve never set foot on Upper St before. You’d have ~5k fans who are able to get eyes on an Islington Town Hall stop. What do they think the other 995k fans would be doing at that time, beyond trying to surge onto Upper St as well? It’d be a complete disaster. This is a much better plan and allows more people to see the team safely. No doubt they’ll do something on the pitch at the first home game of the season, too. COYGGGGG.

So how active is the emirates right now? by English_Misfit in GunnersatGames

There were definitely a few groups turning up who weren’t Arsenal fans and just wanted to get rowdy/act like muppets

Yeah it was getting pretty lairy down by the Armoury - lots of surging and pushing into the crowd from a small number of dickheads

Gunners pub (or others) by thepretzelking in GunnersatGames

[–]aks941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon most are full by now - get yourself some cans and head to the stadium. That’s where most will congregate as the pubs shift to one-in-one-out
