Sirs,
Arsenal vs Spurs League Cup 19.12.18
Smashing win, eh?
However, I was somewhat confused as to when safe standing at The Emirates had been approved.
Such events are normally announced with some hullabaloo, but I guess I missed this.
You will see from your review of the game that the vast majority of Arsenal fans spent more or less the entire game standing.
Indeed there was zero evidence of stewards making any effort to sit down.
Standing in seated areas, you will know, is contrary to ground regulations.
Your set of ground regulations states:
‘Nobody may stand in any seating area whilst play is in progress.
Persistent standing in seated areas whilst play is in progress is strictly forbidden and may result in ejection from the ground’.
This is of course a civil matter, and so something for you to address directly with Arsenal Football Club.
Along with the matter of a Tottenham player being struck on the head by a missile thrown by an Arsenal fan (who will probably be more challenging to find on CCTV as he was in a mob of standing supporters).
If no permission to stand at The Emirates has been granted, then what will you be doing to address last night’s nonsense, and as importantly, what will you be doing to prevent this from happening again?
Or are you happy enough for this football club top run riot and cross any injuries or fatalities, should they ever arise?
Your faithfully and Up The Spurs,
Harold Hotspur.
