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. :)

    • I agree, the people in the park office seem to be invisible. Quite why we need a park office I am not sure. Perhaps it is to do with all the maintenance and upkeep for which there will be organisation and admin. It may be expensive but I do think funding some sort of regular park safety oversight should be a priority. Southwark to want young people to use the park, as do we all, but there probably does need to be some sort of supervision for everyone's sake.  
    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
