Arsenal & the Season Ticket,

I am going to pirate and keep my Arsenal stuff online as well as round the flat...
Below is my invite to the new ground:



Members Day 2006/07

THE ARSENAL
Members' Day - Thursday 20th July Congratulations on being one of 'The Arsenal' members to be invited to the first significant event at Emirates Stadium, Members' Day. Thank you for taking the time to confirm that you are attending this historic and exciting event. We hope you will be as happy with the facilities and views of the pitch in our new stadium as we are. As Members' Day will be the first occasion when a large crowd is to gather at Emirates Stadium, the event will be subject to extreme scrutiny. Therefore, we kindly request that you follow the simple guidance below. This will ensure that the Club continues to be good neighbours to the local community in Islington and will also help you travel to and from the stadium via the safest and most convenient routes. What to Expect?
  • Turnstiles will open at 9.30am
  • The First Team squad will take part in a training session from approximately 11am to 12.15pm*. Before this event, concessions will be open on the upper tier and we will be showing footage on the big screens.
Where to go?
  • Enter via: Orange Quadrant
  • Your membership card will enable you to access the stadium via Turnstile Area A
  • Upon entering the stadium please go to Block 93 Upper Tier where you are free to choose your seat.
  • After the training session has finished you will be invited into the lower concourses where various activities and competitions will be taking place.
Home Kit Special Offer
To help celebrate the opening of 'The Armoury', one of two new retail outlets at Emirates Stadium and also the launch of the 2006-2008 home kit, we are delighted to offer FREE NUMBER AND NAME PRINTING on the first 500 shirts purchased by members at 'The Armoury' on 20th July 2006**. We will also offer a FREE EMIRATES STADIUM BEACH TOWEL on all home shirts purchased by Club members on this day***. The Armoury will open from 8am
Travel to Stadium
In order to make events and matches at Emirates Stadium as enjoyable for everyone as possible, the Club has undertaken extensive work with Islington Borough Council, Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police Service to minimise any possible adverse impacts on the local community. However, we need your co-operation to ensure that any impact on local residents and businesses are kept to a minimum.
Even though the crowd for Members' Day will not be as large as a normal home match, we would ask you to follow this travel guidance for this event. Please note that, unlike a home match, this event is during the day on a weekday and therefore likely to have more potential effects on others. Please don't try to use Holloway Road underground station as this is an old Victorian station with only lifts and stairs and will not be available to supporters for this or any other matchday at Emirates Stadium. A matchday operational plan will be implemented by London Underground to restrict use of the station and avoid the possibility of serious overcrowding. The travel options that are available to you on Members' Day, and any other match day are set out below. a. Tube and Rail
Arsenal Station (Piccadilly Line) is around 3 minutes walk from the ground. Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line, overground rail) and Finsbury Park (Victoria / Piccadilly Lines and overground rail) stations are around 10 minutes walk from Emirates Stadium - and should be slightly less crowded than Arsenal Station.
King's Cross St. Pancras is the main station for overground rail and a key interchange point for supporters travelling on the underground. To get to the stadium from here connect with the Victoria Line to Highbury & Islington or Finsbury Park Underground stations or with the Piccadilly Line to Arsenal or Finsbury Park underground stations. Alternatively, a short overground rail journey of one stop on a local service from Kings Cross will take you to Finsbury Park mainline station. b. Bus
Emirates Stadium is well located for bus services, with fast, high frequency connections passing the ground on all sides. Main bus stops are located on Holloway Road, Nag's Head, Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road and Highbury Corner. Direct, high frequency services from much of north and central London travel within a few minutes walk. Further information on buses is available through www.arsenal.com or www.tfl.gov.uk
c. Walking
Local pedestrian routes will be clearly signposted from all local transport gateways directing you along approved routes to the stadium.
Please don't travel to Emirates Stadium by car. The area is situated in a mainly residential area with an extensive controlled parking zone in operation. Only car owners with residents permits will be allowed to park on-street in the designated areas and any cars parked illegally will be towed away. Around Emirates Stadium
And on your way to and from Emirates Stadium for all events, please be mindful of the local residents and businesses and try to keep any disruption to a minimum. Please act responsibly and with consideration by using the litter bins provided and leaving the stadium as quietly as you can.
Emirates - Building Arsenal's Future We hope you enjoy the event and look forward to welcoming you to Emirates Stadium! 'The Arsenal' Official Membership
