Wenger saying Arsenal left their soul at HighburyFantastic stadium.
Arsenal haven't been the same since they left.
I liked Highbury
Managed to get in one of the gates last time I was in London. Very surreal walking around there these days.
Highbury now.

It’s private as far as I could see, luckily one of the metal gates was open as I was walking by the main stand though.Are you allow to go in, or is it private ?
I agree, can’t beat a restricted viewClass picture. Always liked Highbury. Not a fan of the Emirates or any bowl like stadium to be fair
Same thing happened a few years when I was down. Thought I’d go for a look, saw a gate open and wandered in. Strange feeling walking about where the pitch would have beenIt’s private as far as I could see, luckily one of the metal gates was open as I was walking by the main stand though.
Wonder if there’s a no ball games sign in there
Highbury now.
Great stadiumI liked Highbury
Highbury, Upton Park even White Hart Lane were all proper stadiums. Replaced by big soulless bowls. I like what spurs have tried to do with their new ground but I bet most fans of those teams really miss the old grounds.
Highbury now.
Yes, it seems strange when you walk past, a bit ghostly as if you shouldn't be there. I managed to sneak in through security gates as someone was leaving and sprinkled some ashes of my uncle. Down at one of the corners at the clock endHadn't seen any photo's since they moved out, thanks for sharing that
Did they keep the facade of the main stand intact if I remember correctly?
Thats just sad. A cracking old stadium and much preferred than the current corporate wank fest they sit in. New stadium is great, but much prefer the look and atmosphere of old.
Highbury now.
The way things are going mate they’ve put one up at the EmiratesWonder if there’s a no ball games sign in there
