Well that doesn't sound good. Thanks for the insight.
What is it about Arsenal that attracts rich thugs?

It would make a huge difference. It's not about the money it's about the message, you're spot on.

Because Arsenal is a bad man club that used to have a bad man manager that managed a bad man team that played bad man football in a bad man part of London!!
Selassie I know!!

We can't keep protesting and be up in arms every five minutes its becoming a joke, Kroenke owns Arsenal now, he's not going anywhere and he especially isn't going anywhere in the next few seasons if ever.
If people want to protest then protest at the right time as in when we fall lower down the table or don't buy players, people are acting like its a popularity contest.
As I said before, every other club has this, Utd has the Glaizers, City has the oil Sheik, Chelsea has Abramovich etc etc
Are we really planning to go a whole season finally under a new manager kicking off about Kroenke every weekend?

It better be. Wasn't that what we were told for the reasoning behind a new stadium?

Yes. They got it wrong and failed to correctly predict the huge increase in other revenue
However access to tickets was a huge problem at Highbury and the move to the Grove has at least helped us on that score. Really it needs to be bigger

Doesn't it have the ability to expand? I thought they designed it with possible expansion in mind, but also thought I heard something about the city laws that could keep it from happening?
