 Arsenal pay respects to Highbury
LONDON (Reuters) - Stand at the top of Highbury hill in north London and, at a glance, you can see how big money has transformed English football.
"Highbury is a mini-world where all your experiences meld into one and you can barely distinguish one game from another," says Marc Sands, a season ticket holder for 19 years.
Highbury was also the centrepiece of a 1930s film "The Arsenal Stadium Mystery", which revolved around the poisoning of a player, and Nick Hornby’s "Fever Pitch"; book which captured a fan’s fervour as football’s popularity exploded in the 1990s.

 Arsenal's Highbury Stadium :: Soccerphile
It was fitting that in their last year at Highbury, Arsenal have reached the apex of the club game.
Highbury was the scene of so many famous Arsenal games as well as the 1934 'Battle of Highbury' when England, featuring seven Gunners, defeated the World Champions Italy 3-2.
Those living next to the stadium were no longer football-mad white working class Londoners but a mix of middle-class professionals without a football background and overseas immigrants, predominantly Turkish and Moroccan, who have yet to show a large scale loyalty to their local club.

There are few stadiums in which stands are classified as buildings of special architectural merit, but this is the case with Highbury's twin East and West stands.
These have remained virtually unchanged since their erection in the 1930s.In the last few years, however, Highbury, like most English grounds, has changed beyond recognition.
Nonetheless, the bronze bust of 1930s manager Herbert Chapman is still in its place in the marble entrance hall; a modern thinker in his own day, Chapman probably would have greatly approved of the superb stadium around him.
