    13,500 attendance tonight - a bit disappointed with the response on the ground to the takeover at the last couple of home games to be honest. 

    That’s an impressive number if true, the weather was absolutely awful, even with a roof on the stand we all got soaked and we were probably one bad tackle away from the game being abandoned. For anybody outside the M25 venturing out in that weather to go the the game it was probably not the smartest thing to do. 
    Eh? It wasn’t that bad.

    I’m just a little disappointed that after the “as soon as the owners gone, I’m back” stuff we get one of our smallest attendances this season. I guess the owner isn’t 100% certainly gone yet, let’s hope it isn’t raining the game after he definitely is.

    Why could the game have been abandoned ?

    In that rain and wind and on that perfect looking pitch the game was a sliding tackle away from a player getting a broken leg. There were a couple of nasty tackles early on but credit to the ref he stopped it but an earlier goal would have livened things up again

    Haven't been a season ticket for so long and from these comments just remembering I need to dig out the extra extra thick socks, handwarmers etc. East stand not West, so no blankets allowed.

    Every game is a “sliding tackle away from a player getting a broken leg”. 

    If playing in the rain is so treacherous we should switch to a summer calendar.

    Were you not at the game the other night ? The weather conditions were awful. By half time there were fans that looked like not only were they were desirous of being at the place that had the mist rolling in from the Thames, they’d actually been swimming in the Thames to get there.

    I was there - I’ve seen football player in much, much worse. In fact I would imagine we’ll see a game(s) okayed in worse conditions this season. Let’s just hope one of those occasions doesn’t coincide with the formal announcement that the takeover has completed.

    The pitches are nearly as wet at the start of every game, after clubs give the pitches an absolute drenching.
    I didn't see one puddle. The pitch looked superb.
    You can't abandon a game because some of the fans were wet ffs. 
    I wonder if some people were dropped on their head when they were a baby.

    Good idea.

    Abandon a game once it starts raining.

    Could it be the most ever sold?

    Would be nice if the club knocked the cost off of the Bristol game off for the next few days as a gesture.

    Positive me : Good to see , hands on and encouraging compared to the non interaction of the previous fools .

    Touchy you : give em a chance, you’ve got what you want and you’re just being negative for the sake of it .

    Arsey me : fuck off you old tart

    It would be a good way for the new owners to engage the fans by bringing back the target 20K key people are still about.

    sign up Bowyer, Taylor and Cullen this week and then parade themselves and new signing Toney on the pitch before the game - come on ESI, do it in style

    Four of us have renewed plus two kids.
    North West quadrant. It's going to get noisy.

    I'm relieved, not buying a SST was costing me.

    Boycott over, I am coming back. Sadly cannot make Saturday as had already made plans prior to the news of the purchase going through but thereafter I will be back. Doubt I will bother with a half season ticket though, will wait until next season for a full one.

    May even try to get one of my grandsons to come with me and get that Arsenal shirt off his back.
