A lot of money for Arsenal away mind you.

Well Carl mentioned that after the first 4 games away then the amount of games you done last season goes out the window.

Depends how the system works for it.

yep remember Man city were charged £60 a time last season-stupid money,but Arsenal do operate a category system so hopefully will be a lot less

Only 25 quid when we went. Dam sight cheaper than the 45 we will charge you.

Not often i would say cheers to a jack but thanks for the info-cant see them charging us much more than you under their category pricing.
The £45 quid you mention-is prob reasonable by premier league standards for a category 1 game which i assume it is for your lot- welcome to the premier league !!

Due to the old bill costs and demand then yes it will be a cat 1 game. Arsenal at 25 has to be the best value away trip in the league especially when you watxh your team totally outplay them and get a win.

Tbh and this is my personall opinion, as u said u havent been away very often, then the first 4 fixtures this season you will not get a ticket unless all of them dont sell out. after that which im assuming that the people that went the first 4 games will get first choice on tickets in remaining away games its going be very hard for you to get a ticket. i would wait, but im 99% certain you will not get one

NeathB,

Try and get into the Travellodge in Marylebone, it's quieter, rooms are bigger and about the same price. 20 seconds from the station, easy to access and walk to Oxford St and the rest and its right next to the posh hotel where City and others stayed for the cup finals.

There is also a brilliant cafe opposite that is a lot cheaper then the TL breakfasts!

Arsenal away will be £25. I asked last week.
Plenty of tickets as it is New Years day and many will not go due to lack of transport.

I think the opposite. Many city fans have been to these grounds several times.
West Ham and Hull will not be that popular a choice compared to others and the cost (fruit chuckers is £50 for a dilapidated s*** hole etc).

Only problem I see, is it being moved for TV but I very much doubt that will happen. Not exactly a big game for Sky.

Outplayed them is a joke. You bored them to death with your tappy tappy football, then broke away and scored when they went to sleep. It was the first time you had been near their penalty area.
