Anyone been to Highbury before?

[Fourteenth Eye]

I went to my first ever game there....Nov 6 1980. Arsenal were playing a rather fab team from the south coast called Brighthelmstone or something

we lost 2-0

Last time I was there was in the days before Prem League and all seater....

Stood on the clock end to see the Arse demolish Palace 4-0. O'Leary scored that day as well!

I'm in the Northbank with the Gooners.

Nice comfortable PADDED seats - but a shite atmosphere compared to the old North Bank

Ah, 1983, sunshine, behind the goal, Jimmy Case. Marvellous scenes.

 

[unnameable]

On August 25th, 1973, my dad took me to Highbury to watch Arsenal beat Man U 3-0. Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange having just been released, the kick-off was delayed by fifteen minutes after hundreds of kids (who were too young to have seen the film: perhaps they had read Anthony Burgess's book) invaded the pitch dressed as Droogs.

Albion have just won twice at Highbury in all its history. Suppose we drew Arsenal at home in the Fourth Round?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Would love to go before it's too late. I'm looking forward to us beating Coventry in the cup and getting drawn away there in the 4th round

 

[perseus]

Will a semi-final be held at Highbury this season?
