Interested to know who actually attends

matches at the Emirates out of supporters on JA606. Are you a season ticket holder? Regular or just a Casual Attendee? One that perhaps never attends?

 

1 ☆ Season ticket holder
2 ☆ Regular member attendee
3 ☆ Casual member attendee 
4 ☆ One or two games a season
5 ☆ Never go to games


Saturday will be the 3rd visit to the Emirates in 10 days for me, and 6th for the season. Unfortunately, as I work shifts, I cant get there for every game but go about 12-16 games a season across all competitions.

What about you?

Never been to the Emirates

Used to be a season ticket and bond holder at
Highbury. Went regualrly between 80 and 94.

Football was good and then boring but defence was always good

Ive been a gooner for over 60 years and when I was at school I used to go to Highbury on alternate weeks to see the first team one week and the combination team (reserves) the next week. I was there on the night that only 3000 odd fans turned up for what turned out to be Billy Wrights last game as manager and lit fires on the terraces in protest to get him sacked. I was there when we beat Anderlect 3-1 in the second leg of the Fairs cup final to win the first trophy in 17 years and Jon Samuels scored a screamer.
I went to every game home and away when we won the double under Bertie Mee , apart from the FA Cup final as I couldn't get a ticket despite having all the vouchers from the programs.
I continued going to almost every home game under Don Howe , Terry Neil , Steve Burtenshore , George Graham , Bruce Rioch and Wenger. I finally stopped going about 5 years ago when I retired as I couldn't afford the prices anymore.

I used to go fairly regularly growing up and into early adulthood but no longer go.

Feel like both the club and myself have changed massively since the Highbury days and the match day experience just doesn't appeal even if I watch and read about the club as much as ever.

Watching smaller clubs or experiencing games overseas is what I prefer now

There are no season ticket holders on this site other than my good honest self and occasionally DJ

Didn't see you there today, but I didn't go to the Tolly.
