Talk:Arsenal Stadium

message: To call Highbury the Home of Football seems overtly bias no?
With Wembley Stadium but a few miles away and recognised globally as being nicknamed 'The Home of Football', to include that Arsenal FC and the supporters of the club refer to this stadium in the same way is misleading to readers of this article. A nickname usually tends to be given rather than self-proclaimed and in this instance it simply isn't used by people who are not connected to Arsenal FC or are not supporters of the club. It's use should be removed on the grounds that it shows an obvious bias and lacks accuracy and indeed truth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.215.224 (talk) 11:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't be so hysterical, self-appellated nicknames are fine. The article quite clearly states it was given the affectionate nickname of "The Home of Football" by the club which a true and accurate statement - and backed up with a reference. If the article claimed it was the only such place called that, or that it was universally called that, it would be inaccurate - but it doesn't. It's no different than the "Theatre of Dreams" nickname for Old Trafford. In any case, I don't recall Wembley ever having a "home of football" sign at its entrance, and a Google search lists Arsenal above Wembley in its results. Qwghlm (talk) 11:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the correct nickname for the old Wembley Stadium is "the Twin Towers" and its replacement uses the term "The Venue of Legends".--Shakehandsman (talk) 06:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

message: i've noticed watching some arsenal games at highbury that they have a lower camera angle than most stadiums
it makes the game seem faster and more exciting, especially when paired with the small pitch and the style arsenal usually plays
IYOs will this be replicated in the new arsenal stadium or will they use the standard that every other stadium uses

message: Anonymous Comments : Are you guys joking or something....you can go ask any true football fan who enjoys Arsenal's style of play that football is meant to be watch with a camera angle just like that of the Nou Camp....the camera angle is the only reason I don't like Highbury games. In the farther end I always wonder what time the ball is going to roll out because I can't tell where the touchline is. Another thing is after Arsenal lose the ball I can never tell if someone from the opposing team is going to pick it up or an Arsenal man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.11.204.229 (talk • contribs) 22:44, May 10, 2006.
:Come on, the Highbury camera angle was the second best thing about the stadium! It was awesome, it was almost like being on the pitch. The best thing about it, obviously, was how close the fans were to the pitch... each of these has been lost now that we've moved. *sob*.Mvpujols777 16:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The footnote to the complete record still says that the website was last edited before the last game played which is no longer true. i don't know how to edit the references section. rmoving that sentence is all that needs doing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexmandel (talk • contribs) 01:03, July 10, 2006.

message: This article will be put on hold (for 7 days) until these minor adjustments can be made :
:1. Well written? Pass
:2. Factually accurate? Pass
:3. Broad in coverage? Pass
:4. Neutral point of view? Pass
:5. Article stability? Pass
:6. Images? Doesn't pass right now Pass
Additional comments :
* Images such as  :Image:Highbury farewell.jpg, :Image:Highburyapartment.jpg don't state their fair use rationale.
* Is it important that designed by renowned stadium architect Archibald Leitch, says he is renowned? I doubt it adds to the article.
After these minor fixes are done, the GA status will be given.

replies: text: I have removed the farwell logo (as I don't think it contributes to the content of the article enough to justify fair use), and added an FA rationale to :Image:Highburyapartment.jpg. I have also reworded the mention of Leitch. Are these changes enough? Qwghlm 10:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Nice work on the article, I think the article is broad enough though expansion in all would bring the article to a greater standard. You should send the article to PR and see what they can help you with in order to better the article. Cheers, Lincher 11:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Incorrect facts: "The Clock End meanwhile had been redeveloped, with a roof, seating and executive boxes fitted in 1989."
The Clock end had the roof and executive boxes fitted in the late 80s, but the seating was only added to the terrace after the north bank opened (in about 93/94 if i remember rightly?) 136.8.152.13 09:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
