Have you caught McVicar?s production of Die Zaberflote at the Garden yet? Magnificent. Pass the Burgundy.....

Very kind season ticket holder. Let me know where you are sitting and I will give you a wave.

Depending on where you are sitting tickets normally from ?40 - ?100

I enjoyed it all the same LadyG. I'd forgotten how seriously some fans take things....one overheated guy near me was bouncing up and down in his seat saying he was going to sue the club and "bring his boots for a game next time".


The Monaco ultras were quite impressive too....


The Emirates though - amazing ground, amazing pitch but can't help feeling it lacks some atmosphere compared to the old Highbury which I went to once as a kid. It has a sort of NFL American corporate feel about it?

I hope you remembered to point that out MrB. Although I think its par for the course at most grounds, Arsenal may be slightly worse.


The only trouble with the old Highbury was the football was sh1t. :)

    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
