Memories of your first game

[J-Mack]

Can't remember the season but we beat Ipswich Town in the league and Kevin Campbell scored a hat rick. Wrighty notched too. I think it was 4-2. I sat in the North Bank.

that was 93/94 mate and it was 4-0. on a side issue do you think its odd when people knock the atmosphere for games when you look back over match threads?
it was a bit quiet saturday but i take offense when someone who lives in hertfordshire is sitting at home watching the game on a stream knocking the people who are in the stadium.
just a little rant and in no way aimed at you.
just a bit of a plea for people to put up or shut up.
the rose tints have turned highbury into a cauldren of noise but it so rarely was.
i make far more noise than i ever did at highbury because i am aware that it is our job to make it home as soon as possible and for me it has gone from being like at a semi final but with all our fans there, to where we now reside. my heart is in the club and i love the fact that we play in a state of the art stadium the atmosphere is improving. i remember drawing 0-0 at home to millwall in 89 at this stage of the season and the 38,000 wer,nt exactly brimming with love for a title chasing team.
memories are great but lets not let it cloud the fact that this club are on the up and climbing and sad as i am that it has priced people out i don,t see how else we could evolved.
the champions league games at wembley taught me that we had outgrown highbury and needed our own fortress.its our job to make it one clockend do your job

I'm gonna sound like SE now, but there WAS more noise before 1991.

Definitely more noise when the terraces were there.

Millwall away was quite tasty that year, and I couldn't speak for days afterwards, and remember thumping the wombles on the opening day? And that draw at QPha? Some of the most vocal we've ever been over the years that season.

The home games against Norwich and the wombles toward the end of the season were really loud affairs, not to mention spanking the filth.

You didn't get anything like that after the new North Stand was built, and more so when the CE was seated.

first arsenal match was in 99 at forest away then first highbury was 1-1 against united

most meorable have to be champions league final and winning the league up at old trafford and coming from behind to beat leicester 2-1 to go the season unbeaten

good old days of the north bank, we're the north bank....

Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool 1996.

Great game despite the scoreline or lack there of. Always remember this old lady with white hair going mental, saw her at the next few games i went to as well.

[Libertine]

Martin Hayes came on as a sub and scored twice. We won 2 - 0. Needless to say Hayes was a bit of a hero for me for a few years after that.

Here's whoops-a-daisy scoring a cracker against France.

[dills]

About 2 weeks after my 8th birthday, 2nd May '99 and a home game against Derby in which Anelka was the only scorer in our 1-0 win.

I went with my older brother, dad and uncle and had a great time, although a bit of a dampener on the day was the terrible earache that I was suffering from. It was worth it though.

My game live on TV is the famous 2-0 win at Anfield in 89
The first Arsenal game attended was at Wembley.. In the Makita tournament "a pre-season tournament" in 1989.. I think the 1st day we beat Porto and then Liverpool beat Dynamo Kiev.. Then I didn't attend the 2nd day
The first home game I attended at Highbury was Dennis Bergkamp's debut in 1995.. a friendly against Inter Milan..
The first game at the Grove was the 1-1 draw against Liverpooo in the champions league in 2008

We beat Liverpool 1-0 in the final, i think Bouldy scored.
Those Makita Cup tournaments at Wembley were a great laugh.
We'd stuffed the yids 4-0 the previous year.

Yeah We beat liverpool in the final.. It was a great laugh.. specially that i was 9 at the time and didn't have the chance to go Highbury a lot being from Kuwait..

[starmandb]

its funny how times have changed.
i had a season ticket in the east lower when we turned that hajduk split result around in the uefa cup. there was no live european football at the time only finals[and not even the uefa cup final even if a british side was in it].i listened to our away games on radio london sportsnight or midweek sports special chose 1 game to show highlights of and that week it was notts for v aek athens.it did make for a real hunger for televised football though.
you watched everything that was fed to you with great excitement
