Well........ Lovely stadium! It somehow manages to come out of nowhere too. I was walking down the street, took a rght, then wham! A massive stadium appears. Had no problems getting there either, the underground was fairly busy but not too bad.
The seats are huuuuge, and nicely padded too. But if I were a fat bloke I doubt i'd trust them, they seem to flex an awful lot. Plus standing up to let people walk past is a nightmare because they are so huge! 
Good accoustics too. The Sevilla fans were nuts, got some wierd ass chants and seem to like jumping around for no reason.
I had amazing seats, right on the halfway line next to the tunnel.
Got some decent pics to come later.
Nae bad for free

I'm at work, so wait
They weren't that quiet to be honest, the fans that sit opposite the away fans seem to make the most noise, and start most of the chants. I've definately witnessed quieter fans.

TBH I was only trying to get a bite with the quiet thing.
But on TV it does always seem to be empty just before and after halftime, and also after about 80mins.

Alot of fans left with 5-10 mins to go, but I can see why. It took ages to get back to Finsbury Park, and the Underground train was rammed!

The middle teir is free food and drink at half time, so you can imagine why people go inside
The underground around there is a nightmare, if you leave at the end it takes atleast 45mins to get on the tube, leaving 5 mins early saves alot of time unfortunately

To be fair there are a lot of cunts at Arsenal now in there suits eating prawn sarnies etc. but a lot of us there still get a decent atmosphere going and outsing quite a few fans, where I sit its decent anyway and its usually standing for 90mins with many sing songs.

It's a lovely stadium. Well worth a visit. Probably the best stadium i've been to. Not as breath taking as OT, but alot more comfortable and a nice design.

Yeah the seats were ace. My cousin got to choose them before the stadium was built. They had a virtual model of the stadium and it gave views from any seat, so you know what you'll be getting
