	Can Arsenal stadium mystery be solved? \| News \| Guardian Unlimited Football
		Such was the attention Arsène Wenger paid to plans for Arsenal's Emirates Stadium that he scrapped proposals to build a pillar in the home dressing room because he saw it as a potential barrier to communication.
		Arsenal's dominance at home has been marked this season but moments of slack defending and a lack of sharpness in creating or taking chances mean that, despite being unbeaten, the points tally is disappointing.
		Suggested hindrances range from the bigger pitch and blandness of portions of the stadium to Arsenal needing a settling-in period and teams arriving unburdened by previous Highbury losses.

		Despite finishing fifth in the previous season, which was four years previous due to the suspension of football during the war, The Arsenal started the 1919 season in the top division and have stayed there ever since.
		At this time, the Gillespie Rd tube station was renamed Arsenal, the ground, which had been called Highbury, changed its name to Arsenal Stadium, and under the guidance of Herbert Chapman, the team enjoyed success on the field.
		The centrepiece of the stadium, despite all the new construction, remained the magnificent East Stand.

		Arsenal started looking to develop a larger stadium during the later part of the 1990s, as their existing ground at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419 when it became all-seater in 1993, which was lower than the stadium capacities of almost every other European football club of comparable stature.
		Arsenal’s chief executive commented that the new stadium is expected to increase Arsenal’s turnover (income) from around £115 million to around £170 million, which will help the club to close the gap in turnover between themselves and Manchester United.
		Arsenal tube station is the closest for the northern portion of the stadium.

		Arsenal was founded in 1886 and was first called Dial Square after a group of workers employed by the Dial Square workshop at the Royal Arsenal which was an armaments factory located in Woolwich.
		Arsenal won promotion to the First Division in the 1903-1904 season and despite strong FA Cup performances, the club slipped down the table because of to it’s ongoing financial difficulties mainly due to the location of the clubs homeground in Plumstead which was largely underpopulated and hence attendance at their matches low.
		Woolwich Arsenal had to sell their star players to stay afloat in the League and this did not really help their financial situation as they continued to slip down the table and were in fact close to bankruptcy.

	Arsenal's Emirates Stadium
		As a top level sports stadium, the primary aim was to provide safe, high quality viewing facilities and an awe inspiring atmosphere within the spectator arena.
		The stadium is a huge elliptical structure featuring five main levels of accommodation and four seating tiers, yet it is contained within a compact site footprint and respects the height restriction imposed by local planners.
		The stadium was completed with zero overspend, just over two weeks ahead of schedule, in time for the start of the 2006/07 football season.

	Arsenal's Highbury Stadium :: Soccerphile
		Designed by renowned UK stadium architect Archibald Leitch and finished with art deco facades by Claude Waterlow Ferrier, the Arsenal Stadium became a true cathedral of the game, hemmed in by terraced houses on four sides in a classic English football setting that would be unthinkable for a stadium planned today.
		The stadium on Avenell Road was the subject matter of a 1939 thriller 'The Arsenal Stadium Mystery' and provided the unedifying memory of BBC TV presenter Jimmy Hill running the line at a game against Liverpool in 1972 after the referee had pulled a muscle.
		As the neighbouring community had altered, the stadium had become a fortress in more ways than one, as the club prosecuted a prolonged and needless campaign to bully the small traders in the area into removing the Arsenal name and logo on their merchandise.

		Step forward Henry Norris, a property developer, London born and bred, who had a vision of a football club based in the capital city that would be able to take on and beat the superior teams from the North of England.
