The Journey to the HOME oF FootBALL!

On May 21st 2010, I went for my first pilgrimage to the home of football - The Emirates Stadium!


Although there was no stadium tour on that day and no chance of getting into the stadium as there was an exam going on for the nearby university, I felt privileged enough to be happy to be just there to see and hug the stadium.


I started early on the underground and reached the Arsenal underground in no time.


Excitedly, I walked briskly towards the old Highbury ground to check out the remains. nothing much is left and signboards are up for the new developments. I moved on quickly, adrenaline pumping as I near the box office. Happiness may be an understatement but I guess the adjective is about just right as I can feel the ground once i got closer.....



Pass the box office and across the North Bridge, what a great welcome by Tony and Henry! Nice touch on the design of the stadium by whoever did it. Gives you a very homely feeling. :)


Oh, and when you see 'God', you just have to bow to him. Isnt Dennis inspiring?!!?


I went berserk and started taking tons of photos. hahaa.... Oh, and when i reached the Armoury, all hell broke lose... BUY BUY BUY!!! lots of design and stuff not available else where... well, most of the stuff is for my son, as I am proud to say, he is the latest GUNNER in the family!!!












Its feel great to finally touch and kiss the ground that I worshipped...... to complete the dream, I really hope we start filling up the cabinets in the Emirates with trophies in the coming seasons!!



Go GUNNERS!!!
