Premier Reading League Winners Tour The Emirates Stadium!
On Monday 23 June the winners of the Premier Reading League toured The Emirates stadium!
Look at the circle on the bottom left - below the glass is a time capsule holding 25 items from Arsenal's history. The capsule contains; a list of all Arsenal players ever, Tony Adams' captain's armband, piece of Highbury turf, every Arsenal home shirt, replica model of Highbury, marble from Marble Halls, aerial picture of Highbury, a Highbury flag, record of all matches played at Highbury, picture of Ian Wright's celebration after record breaking goal, history of Arsenal from 1886 - present (Video), History of Crest, signed shirt of the current squad, picture of all Arsenal managers, pictures of all captains in sequence, video montage of memorable moments, replica of clock from Clock End, copy of newspaper the day the capsule was buried, picture of old North Bank crowded, picture or replica of all trophies won, a Highbury match ticket, David Rocastle shirt, video guided tour of Highbury, picture of the famous back 4 and fans' message book.
After each season the pitch is taken up and new turf is laid. They are already preparing the grass for when the new season begins in August! Each blade of grass has to be no higher than 2cms.
Outside the stadium they had pictures of all the players from Arsenal. Yinka and Jack copy Olivier Giroud's goal celebration.
We got behind the desk where footballers and managers are interviewed. Jack had everyone laughing with his impression of Arsene Wenger!
There was also a museum, here we discovered more about the history of Arsenal, did you know it cost 400 million pound to rebuild the stadium back in 2006.
The stadium holds over 60,000 supporters.
The home changing room was impressive with it's jacuzzi and physio room.
We took in the views from the sideline while sitting in Arsene Wenger's and the players' seats!
Look out for more chances to win tickets for matches and stadium tours when we return in the Autumn term.
