Qwiss watching Villa yesterday reminded me of Baku. That has to be our nadir. Or is that the 2013-14 season?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'm suddenly going to tomorrow's match 🥶

Dreading the transport though.

awooga83 aaaaas promised - we get a voucher each for one of the myriad Club Level concessions stands - basically there seems to be a lot of choice for burgers, pizzas and fried chicken. I only really need the fried chicken one tbh 😁

And pies as well, there's a pie stand. Had an email from Arsenal with the day's itinerary - we get to go in at half five and chill (chill? As if!) and the obligatory turn up the volume email they send out to all match goers, still waiting for the actual tickets... 🤣

RocktheCasbah haha will be interesting hearing how the experience is from that perspective. Do they bring the noise. I've never had the hospitality food enjoy😀

RocktheCasbah

awooga83 I was gonna say, I WILL be bringing the noise, but at the Palace game last week I was surrounded by lots of quiet and quite angry men at the back of the East Lower. I joined them in being quiet and, by the end, quite angry.

Anyway, hoping for a slightly different energy tonight. Meeting the missus at Highbury and Islington just after 5 and heading down. Be very weird to be in the stadium so early!

Anyone have issues with Cash back from ticket exchange? I didn't see any update on my account from the last window , this is the last one coming coming up . How Long does it take ? I sold on the exchange since January

awooga83

GooneriC looking at the email I got about it it says 10 working days to complete. I haven't used it really myself so can't comment on any issues personally

GooneriC

Just as i read your reply i saw this in email :

"Your request to withdraw £65.40 from your balance has been successful. Once processed your account will be credited for the following sum £65.40 providing the details provided are correct. The process will take 10 working days to complete once the advertised window has closed. Please only check your balance after that time period has passed."

I misunderstood, looks like I have to wait until after the cash back window closes to receive my funds. This window closes May 2 , so I'll check back after May 16

RocktheCasbah Did you bring your boots though?

Sicario2

Atmosphere felt very weird. Like we wanted to make a good atmosphere but almost forcing it and the way the game went we didn’t get into it. Their early goal obviously didn’t help as it was flat thereafter.

JazzG

It is hard to say, conceding after 4 mins and then getting the run around for 20 mins is bound to kill the crowd.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

JazzG yep, killed us indeed.

awooga83

Yeah going behind after 3 minutes killed the atmosphere which is exactly what you want to do as an away team and then the crowd are nervy

I thought our fans needed to support the team better, personally. "Bring your boots", then at the first sign of adversity we go mute. It's not like we were being played off the park either. Just a goal in it.

RocktheCasbah

flobaba the early goal didn't help, but particularly the way the game was refereed made it difficult to generate any momentum, both on the pitch and in the crowd.

Sicario2

Thinking about it:

1) plating north london forever before the players came on the pitch was silly
2) out of our hands but the pope weird one min silence totally killed the vibe
3) the giant Tifo over the north bank was prob the worst tifo I’ve ever seen
4) I wasn’t at the Real Madrid home game but apparently the set up and organisation was much better

Lessons to be learnt

RocktheCasbah

Sicario2 2) out of our hands but the pope weird one min silence totally killed the vibe
3) the giant Tifo over the north bank was prob the worst tifo I’ve ever seen

Agreed.

Sicario2 1) plating north london forever before the players came on the pitch was silly

Do you mean it should have been done once they were out? If so, I don't disagree but maybe the clubs hands are tied with CL restrictions on how the pre-match is run.

It wasn't exactly a silence for the Pope, sounded like quite a lot of noise initially, then when the silence fell you could hear quite a lot of whistling and so on.

JazzG

Sicario2 3) the giant Tifo over the north bank was prob the worst tifo I’ve ever seen

It was embarrassing for a game like this, they made the fans cancel their Tifo and then put that shit one up themselves.

Tam

JazzG Did you see the state of some of the proposed banners? Awful.

JazzG

Tam No haven't seen it, can't of been worse than what the club put up!

Sicario2

Tam those AI ones were awful. The ‘make it happen’ banner was good, if only they could have replaced the Tifo with it
