Really impressive, even if the name let me a little bit bewildered :O , but I'm so conservative
But, it is just completed?? In case I'll give it a look, at the end of july, on my London trip.

virtually completed, first game there is July 22nd for Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial.  very much doubt you will get access to it, but can see it from the outside.  It is right next to Arsenal underground station.

I saw of the match on the web page, and was just mouthwatering:D
I saw tickets remaining after purchase by membership card owners will be on sale by 10th july, but I doubt to have any chance.

I agree, i doubt very much you will get tickets.  Unless you buy them off a tout outside the ground before the game.  They are limiting the capacity to something like 50,000 for that game for safety checks too.

Definitely not! Arsenal didn't build a £400m stadium, and god knows what developing a new type of grass for the perfect pitch, for a load of rugger buggers to go and trample it while 'egg chasing'!

rugby ball is shaped like an egg.  playing rugby = egg chasing. (it is a derogatory term about rugby)

rugger = rugby

buggers (buggery) = sodomy

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

:lol

Sorry no offense meant. I'm not an English Football fan , but have been a Rugby fan since I saw my first Rugby match at RAF Lossiemouth in 1982. Enjoy your new stadium. We're still about two years away from a new Dallas Cowboy stadium. I'll be as excited about it as you are for The Arsenals new home.
