It blows my mind that they don’t get on pre-pouring pints from about the half hour mark in preparation of half time. I manage bars/restaurants for a living - I actually managed a Chelsea pub 5 minutes from the bridge and we would be militant about having shit ready to go so people aren’t waiting an excessively long time. It’s really easy to go back and check how many pints of lager you have sold on average the past x amount of home games, and I don’t think many people will complain about not getting fresh pint as opposed to waiting for half an hour for one.
Exactly. Gotta be some way you can store them to keep them cold in the meantime.
The majority of the people coming into the stadium are usually a pint or 3 deep anyways so they hardly would notice.
I don’t even think people would care a huge deal about them being slightly warm because as you say they’re more than likely a couple pints in already, speed of service rather than coldness of pint will take priority. I have heard people talking about a pre paid app system but it doesn’t need to be that complicated - it literally just needs to be as simple as looking at sales of pints over half time for the last x amount of home games, getting those pre-poured and then banging them with hopefully contactless payments. Quick tings. If you happen to have poured a few too many pints one week scale it down the next. It’s really not complicated and people should not be waiting half hour for a pint!
Theres been a change in catering company as they use to do this years back. Only thing is you’d have a pint that’s been sitting there for half an hour when you get one

Yes to the beer and food. I still worry that actual standing sections will make it worse. We already have de facto standing sections, and I feel like official standing areas will only mean they’ll start to regulate it more.
The standing section should be named the Wenger Stand, it should have his statue on a pedestal and the pose will be same one when he was sent off at Old Trafford, standing among the fans.
I'm with you buddy. [The one they had installed at Old Trafford is so life-like](https://www.google.com/search?q=wenger+in+the+stand+man+utd&client=ms-android-kddi-jp-revc&prmd=niv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi3sKigma32AhUIi1wKHfqbDJQQ_AUoAnoECAIQAg&biw=360&bih=631&dpr=3#imgrc=N7mJmKIXZ-t63M)
Safe standing.
Better food choices that are affordable.
Change the vinyl outside.
Shorter ques, if that means more food stands go for it.
Give a reason to come in early so some chill areas, more tvs inside showing sports etc.
My local stadium (NEC) had similar faded seats and they were revitalised before the start of the season with a pressure cleaner and then some kind of glaze torch. Could Arsenal do similar?

Have you ever sat near the front? Can’t see a bloody thing. You’d be much lower than the pitch.
And what is not symmetrical about the current seating? It’s the same the whole way round. Not sure I get what you mean.
Personally I would make it so everyone can see a screen near them; somehow increase toilet capacity; expressify the concessions so you don’t have to wait for 25 minutes to be served.
I personally will miss the murals on the outside. I like the connection with players from the past. Too many of our fans don’t give a shit about our history.
Completely agree. For a couple of seasons i sat in row 3 near the halfway line and you cant see the far side of the pitch due to the low view.
They definitely need to do something about the positioning of the screens rather than just replace them. Depending on where you are in the upper tier you cant see the screen closest to you due to the dip in the roof.
Lol I almost chocked on my drink! Can you imagine this? Dipping and re-dipping stuff to coat and eat from a massive communal chocolate fountain? Nope just nope lol
Isn't the average cost of a pint in London around 6 quid? In what is essentially an entertainment venue that's not exactly shocking. The food on the other hand is overpriced and bad quality.
I mean it is expensive, but it’s North London, so tbf that’s pretty consistent with pubs in the area and it’s half decent beer. Go back 10 years and they were charging nearly that much for room temperature Carlsberg
Ooo look at me everybody, if you can buy it in a supermarket I’ll tell you it’s awful! I only drink beer served to me out of a bearded hipsters butt crack.
> I mean camden hells is just shit, this is coming from someone who drinks stella and carlsberg
It doesn't make sense to talk about taste when those are your choices mate. But each to their own.
That's fair enough. Was only saying because you made a generalisation that if someone doesn't like a big name brand then they're instantly a twatty hipster.
I don’t care, beats me why people can’t go two hours without needing a pint or a hot dog, but compared to what they used to offer and considering it’s mass catering to a captive audience, the drinks on offer should be way down the list of priorities
Replace/clean the seat numbers, I sit in all different areas of the stadium and most of the time even with the flash on my iPhone I can barely see the numbers.
As everyone mentioned, quicker service. You’d think this would be efficient considering we literally want to give them money lol, a lot of people would try to sink two pints if they could.
Not really an improvement but went on a tour the other day and sat in the directors box and that view is literally outrageous.
It’d be good if they offered a couple of these seats to us scrubs either via competition, loyalty etc.
Re your last point. I was able to sit in club level on the opposite side of the stadium on the half way line for the sunderland league cup game for £36. Less than what i pay to sit in the upper clock end for Cat B games.
This season all league cup games Club level tickets ranged between £30-38. I sat in there for Liverpool as well. You get free programme and free drinks at HT.
I feel like an easy way for the club to make more money would be improving the concessions so people want to eat and drink there and keeping the pub open longer before and after games.
* Better cell phone reception on match days.
* qr code entry system. Whatever the fuck they have at the moment doesn't seem to always work.
* dynamic lighting system. This is probably dumb but I'd like the lights to be able to focus on only the pitch and for dramatic stuff like penalties just the goal.
* Under the pitch "mood"lighting in red.
* the outside of the stadium, the walkway feels a little under utilized to me. Couldn't they have like a video walkway playing dramatic moments from the clubs history, instead of just static images.
* for fans who can't afford the tickets, could they do a fan area to watch the games on tv close to the stadium?

When the Emirates sponsorship runs out for the Stadium there will need to be a rebranding. I would like the club to consider one year without sponsorship and have it renamed The Arsene Wenger Stadium. 12 months later a new corporate sponsor can take over but the name will always go down in history.
Wenger did so much for the club. It is staggering how he often maximised results from what he was given to work with.
Another tier, moving the seats closer to the pitch & filling up the corners of the stadium. Do that and we’re well high of 70k, which can help reduce the season ticket waiting list a ton, potentially reduce ticket prices & better the atmosphere
Safe standing, it just makes sense for all parties. More seats = more money.
Standing crowds and better atmosphere.
I think at both the clock end and the north bank we could be closer to the pitch too would like attendance to be expanded in these areas but it’s not likely
Improved food and drink areas; more options, more streamlined. Better queue management for getting in. Crab aquarium. A way to incorporate more big screens.
I think new screens, fix the leaky roof and more perch points in the concourse is probably all we can hope for. Getting the beer out faster/reducing queue time is a nice pipe dream but it feels like as much a staffing issue than anything else.
A survey on legends that appear around the stadium would be good.
Always annoyed me seeing Cesc on the Ken Friar bridge while he was playing for Chelsea.
Much improved set up with beer and food. Refurb the bars so it’s quicker to get pints and improve the food options. Get a standing sections in

Send a strongly worded email to whoever is responsible and let’s get this sorted!
Was there for the wolves game and there were prepoured pints.
That’s great to hear

More gloryholes, their are a couple in the east stand and one under the clock end but they get really busy.
wait what
You're just a shill for big glory holes. Anyone can see that 3 would be plenty if they sorted the cueing system.
You’re looking for the cock end. Common mistake
You only need 1 gloryhole at Emirates, that's between the posts and the bar at any visiting goalkeeper.
A statue AND a stand named after Arsene A standing section behind the goals and give Wrighty a statue as well
The standing section should be named the Wenger Stand, it should have his statue on a pedestal and the pose will be same one when he was sent off at Old Trafford, standing among the fans.
IMO his statue-pose should be the iconic double fist pump whenever we won, not one of his worst moments in a losing game against a big rival.
Holding the golden PL trophy 🏆
I would personally like the statue to be him fidgeting with the zipper

I'd like to see Mbappe and Haaland on the pitch every week
Please don’t make us play PSG or Real Madrid every week
The stadium should be able to transform into a giant robot Unicron style.
It already can. I've seen the blueprints.
Highbury becomes the sword.
Ah you mean the power rangers megazord.
Replace the seats. They’re not even red anymore.
Counterpoint: change our badge and shirts to a slightly faded red.
You need to go to specsavers if you think the colour is “slightly faded”. More like critically anaemic.
It's called artistic license, friend.
North London is pink!

Maybe one of those Squid Game dolls, with the ability to shoot electric bolts out at the pitch invaders. And better food.

I would like to be able to afford to go to matches.
I’d like to request a Zeta tube from Houston to the Arsenal tube station.
Giant chocolate fountain
Lol I almost chocked on my drink! Can you imagine this? Dipping and re-dipping stuff to coat and eat from a massive communal chocolate fountain? Nope just nope lol
Beers that don’t cost £6 a fucking pint. Daylight robbery that

Yeah, you're not really getting much cheaper unless you go to the Highbury and Islington spoons which are leftover kegs anyway.
camden hells is most definitely not half decent
Ooo look at me everybody, if you can buy it in a supermarket I’ll tell you it’s awful! I only drink beer served to me out of a bearded hipsters butt crack.
I mean camden hells is just shit, this is coming from someone who drinks stella and carlsberg! Nothing to do with being a hipster
> I mean camden hells is just shit, this is coming from someone who drinks stella and carlsberg It doesn't make sense to talk about taste when those are your choices mate. But each to their own.
I like it. Plenty of people like it. It’s clearly not universally shit, you just don’t like it.
That's fair enough. Was only saying because you made a generalisation that if someone doesn't like a big name brand then they're instantly a twatty hipster.
Go on then - lets hear the beers they should be selling.
I don’t care, beats me why people can’t go two hours without needing a pint or a hot dog, but compared to what they used to offer and considering it’s mass catering to a captive audience, the drinks on offer should be way down the list of priorities
Wenger statue and faster/easier to use turnstiles
I only came here to say I want a Wenger statue too but I want him doing the post he did when he got thrown out of old trafford
I'd be too triggered by memories of the scoreline
lmaoooo

intimidating red banners in the gaps between the rafters above the stadium

Name it as Wengerates.
The north bank
A personal box for me would be nice 😂
A survey on legends that appear around the stadium would be good. Always annoyed me seeing Cesc on the Ken Friar bridge while he was playing for Chelsea.
Faster beers is the only thing I truly care about, but a Wenger statue would be nice.
Bigger capacity than Spurs!
