[edit] Pitch dimensions

It would be great if someone could tap up a code to show the dimmensions of the pitch graphically vs. the dimensions of the "standard" pitch size for all new FIFA-sanctioned stadia. I really feel this would add a great deal to this article as the pitch size has so much to do with the character of the venue and its fame. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.230.121.224 (talk • contribs) 04:33, December 8, 2005.

[edit] Camera angle

i've noticed watching some arsenal games at highbury that they have a lower camera angle than most stadiums

it makes the game seem faster and more exciting, especially when paired with the small pitch and the style arsenal usually plays

IYOs will this be replicated in the new arsenal stadium or will they use the standard that every other stadium uses

One imagines they'll go for a more standard approach - as it allows the TV compaies to get the wide shots. Bit of a shame.... ed g2s • talk 13:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horse/Squirrel

No mention of the Highbury Horse or the Highbury Squirell Lazmac 17:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Camera angle (2)

Anonymous Comments : Are you guys joking or something....you can go ask any true football fan who enjoys Arsenal's style of play that football is meant to be watch with a camera angle just like that of the Nou Camp....the camera angle is the only reason I don't like Highbury games. In the farther end I always wonder what time the ball is going to roll out because I can't tell where the touchline is. Another thing is after Arsenal lose the ball I can never tell if someone from the opposing team is going to pick it up or an Arsenal man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.11.204.229 (talk • contribs) 22:44, May 10, 2006.

Come on, the Highbury camera angle was the second best thing about the stadium! It was awesome, it was almost like being on the pitch. The best thing about it, obviously, was how close the fans were to the pitch... each of these has been lost now that we've moved. *sob*.Mvpujols777 16:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footnote

The footnote to the complete record still says that the website was last edited before the last game played which is no longer true. i don't know how to edit the references section. rmoving that sentence is all that needs doing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexmandel (talk • contribs) 01:03, July 10, 2006.

OK - I found a version of that page which included the Wigan result and have updated the link. Qwghlm 00:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

This article will be put on hold (for 7 days) until these minor adjustments can be made :

1. Well written? Pass

2. Factually accurate? Pass

3. Broad in coverage? Pass

4. Neutral point of view? Pass

5. Article stability? Pass

6. Images? Doesn't pass right now Pass

Additional comments :

• Images such as Image:Highbury farewell.jpg, Image:Highburyapartment.jpg don't state their fair use rationale.
• Is it important that designed by renowned stadium architect Archibald Leitch, says he is renowned? I doubt it adds to the article.

After these minor fixes are done, the GA status will be given. Lincher 01:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the farwell logo (as I don't think it contributes to the content of the article enough to justify fair use), and added an FA rationale to Image:Highburyapartment.jpg. I have also reworded the mention of Leitch. Are these changes enough? Qwghlm 10:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA promotion

Nice work on the article, I think the article is broad enough though expansion in all would bring the article to a greater standard. You should send the article to PR and see what they can help you with in order to better the article. Cheers, Lincher 11:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sad

Shouldn't this ground be heritage listed? Seems sad to lose almost 100 years of history by turning it into a housing area.
