The pregame snack is definitely essential. Enjoy your first trip to Highbury mate! I hope it's a memorable one and congrats on getting to a match before the move to Ashburton Grove.

:mrgreen:

 

Get into the area 4 hours before kick off at least. Go to a few different pubs and have some pints, listen to the general banter and atmosphere generated in the pubs pre game. Go to the merchandise shop to get something to remind you of your day. Buy a burger at one of the burger stalls etc just generally look around. I wouldnt enter highbury until about 30 minutes before kick off, so when you arrive you will get on the terrace that is already packed and it will give you the real sense of atmosphere.

 

hey, guv. what are your favourite pubs? i really liked bank of friendship; nice atmosphere. the gunners pub was so fekkin' crowded; impossible to even get in...

btw; i suggest just hanging out in the street. buy a few bottles of beer at the local shops and just hang out nearby the stadium. the atmosphere is superb and everyone is really friendly.

 

Have a great time Matt

 

eh, no. get a burger instead. the fish and chips is disgusting...

 

Im not one for fish myself, but the chippy on the corner near highbury does the nicest chips and savaloys ive ever tasted

The cannons, gunners, swan etc

 

Enjoy the stay. It would be such a great opportunity.

 

Wouldnt have thought you would have liked the gunners, cant stand the place!

 

The only one I've been to is Cannons and only on a couple of occasions. I thought it was cool.

 

I hope you have a great time. i can't wait till i can get an oppertunity to watch a game at highbury.

 

I didn't mind the Gunners. I prefer the Arsenal Tavern though.

But the Twelve Pins is better than all of them.
