 Arsenal Football Club Address: Arsenal Football Club, Highbury House, 75 Drayton Park, London, N5 1BU Telephone Number 020 7619 5000 General Enquiries: https://www.arsenal.com/the-club/contact-arsenal Supporter Liaison Officer: Mark Brindle, mbrindle@arsenal.co.uk Disability Liaison Officer: Jon Dyster, jdyster@arsenal.co.uk Matchday Updates Updates if anything does change from the norm will be posted on Arsenal.com and on our twitter accounts @Arsenal and @ArsenalMatchday Arrival Below is a link to our ‘Get to emirates Stadium’ page on Arsenal.com which provides full information on the many ways to get here plus further links to useful sites such as the Transport for London journey planner. This also provides a link to the form for booking coach spaces. https://www.arsenal.com/emirates-stadium/get-to-emirates-stadium We also have a separate page for matchday safety and security https://www.arsenal.com/emirates-stadium/matchday-safety-and-security We would recommend that supporters use the Transport for London twitter account @Tfl or website https://tfl.gov.uk/ for transport updates. If supporters are travelling by National Rail services we would recommend them to use the national rail enquires website www.nationalrail.co.uk before travelling. Supporters are strongly advised not to drive to Emirates Stadium. The ground is situated in a mainly residential area with an extensive Event Day Parking Scheme in operation. Only car owners with resident's permits will be allowed to park on-street in the designated areas and any cars parked illegally will be towed away. The designated ‘away fans’ pub the Drayton Arms which is situated directly opposite the away section is currently closed for refurbishment and therefore not available for this match. The Metropolitan police have advised that there is no provision for an ‘away fans’ pub in the vicinity of the ground currently and away fans are asked to drink away from the Islington area. The ’Away’ turnstiles will open at 5-30pm and we advise supporters to arrive as early as possible. Alcohol will be served in the away section at the start and as with every game we reserve the right to pull sales. If sales are pulled, bars will re-open for soft drinks and food only. Access The ‘away’ turnstiles are situated at the Southeast corner of the ground (entrances K and L). There are several ways to approach this part of the ground. If your supporters are travelling by coach and parking in Queensland Road they need to walk to the end of Queensland Road turn right and walk 50yards (approx.) and they will see a ramp on their right leading up to the podium level of the stadium, walk up the ramp and then keeping the stadium on their left they walk for about 150 yards and they will find the away entrances on their left. If arriving from Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), on leaving the station turn left and walk down Holloway Road for approximately 10 minutes turn right into Hornsey Road, walk straight down and the Stadium is in front of you. If you then take the stairs to the right of the Armoury store up to podium level and again keeping the stadium on your left, you will reach entrances K and L in about 250 yards. Finally if you come into Arsenal Underground station on the Piccadilly line when you come out of the station turn right and follow the road as it turns to the left, you are now in Drayton Park, ignore the first steps you see on your right hand side and continue along Drayton Park for 5 minutes and on your right you will see the Danny Fiszman Bridge cross over and this leads you directly to the away entrances.  Disabled Access to the right hand side of entrance K (stewards will be in place) Wider view of Disabled Access Catering

This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Oxford United to the Abbey Stadium. We also welcome all Cambridge United supporters coming to the match. The Audio For All team of volunteers has taken two big steps forward this season at Cambridge United thanks to new equipment and the creation of a proper base – the Accessibility Point behind the Newmarket Road end. The descriptive service is offered to anyone who may benefit – not just the visually impaired – while the Accessibility Point offers support services for anyone with additional needs, be they physical or sensory. The new audio equipment came via a donation from the club’s CUFCLottery https://www.cufclottery.co.uk/ , replacing kit which was donated second-hand when the service was launched in 2011. Fans using the service will hear the action de-scribed by a trained volunteer via a receiver and earpiece. Sensory packs are available for fans of any age who would benefit from one. These include noise-cancelling headphones, sensory balls, sunflower sticker to wear and a sheet of puzzles. Information on the stadium’s Picture Pathway App is also available. Audio sets and headphones must be returned to the Accessibility Point after use. All of the above is provided by volunteers with the backing of the club. Point of contact: Nick Parker (AFA co-ordinator) 07929 589925 nick.parker56@googlemail.com or visit the Supporter Accessibility page on the club’s website https://www.cambridgeunited.com/fans/accessibility/ We also need to congratulate the Cambridge United Youth side in securing their place in the FA Youth Cup Quarter-Final following the win against Sheffield Wednesday, I would like to wish them every success in the tie against Arsenal at the Emirates next week. At the time of writing there are 1500 supporters travelling to support the side. Thank you to everyone who is going to the game. Remember be Loud, Proud and United in your support. It is an exceptional turn out and reminds me of when we played against Arsenal at Highbury in the FA Cup Quarter Final. Many supporters travelled on the day to find out that the tickets had sold out for the match on their arrival and couldn’t get in.   This evening we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Cheltenham to the Abbey Stadium. Thank you to everyone who has travelled to the Abbey Stadium for the match.
One of the most positive and encouraging initiatives to commence in the past twelve months has been the creation of the Cambridge Aces. All clubs look at improving the match day atmosphere and this group is definitely ticking all the boxes at the moment. It is important we build on the enthusiasm and energy of younger supporters and allow them the opportunity. Please give them your support and encouragement. Below is your chance to get to know learn more about them. Hello, we are the Cambridge Aces. We set up the group last year whilst talking to the club about how to add more colour and atmosphere to the Abbey during matches, including crowd surfer flags for big games, such as the ones we had last year against Luton and recently against Ipswich, having flag bearers to wave the three flags we have at the front of the Newmarket Road End, aiming to reintroduce the flags on staffs we had during the Conference Days and organising displays before big games, such as “that” fixture coming up in April. We are coming up to the business end of the season where the boys need our support as much as possible to help them achieve another season in League One. Where we belong! The atmosphere and ambiance during the Ipswich game was electric and we need to be like that every game to ensure the team can get their confidence back. We are looking at raising money over the next few months to help fund a display that will hopefully incorporate the Main Stand as well as the NRE to welcome the team out for the first Cambridgeshire League derby since December 2001, and as a group we will be releasing more information in the coming months. We are still actively looking for anyone who would be interested in volunteering or getting involved with what we are trying to do at the Abbey so if you are wanting to be a part of this, or would like to give your opinion or share some ideas for flags with us, then please contact us through Twitter or Instagram (@cambridgeaces for both) or come speak to one of us on a matchday! You’ll normally find us around the NRE Fanzone before a game so please come say hi. We are incredibly excited and honoured to be doing this and look forward to helping turn the Abbey into a fortress again. Forever, United in Endeavour. Thank you for reading. Connor, Tom & Shamz  This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Ipswich Town to the Abbey Stadium for the second time this season. It is a match with many supporters of both clubs either knowing or living close to each other. Many will even be family members, so I hope it is a good-natured affair both on and off the pitch.
