THE FINAL THIRD

20/20 design firm is continuing their work with Arsenal to improve the fan experience at the Emirates stadium and I have to say that the place is looking first class.

The developments see the Woolwich suite in Club Level being divided into four distinctive areas – a buffet dining restaurant, a stylish bar, a high quality lounge and an exclusive à la carte restaurant named the WM Club, after Chapman’s revolutionary 3-2-2-3 WM formation, which will provide an unrivalled fine dining experience in sports stadia.

There is also the introduction of a luxurious new restaurant called The Foundry, which offers a buffet dining experience across two intimate spaces. The Foundry continues the celebration of past and present with contemporary lighting, furniture and finishes, contrasted by rich timber panelling and deep buttoned leather upholstered booths.

The enhancement also includes the refurbishment of the Legends Bar, which offers Club Level members the ultimate sports bar experience. The Legends Bar has been transformed into a stylish bar inspired by some of Arsenal’s all time greats whose portraits will decorate the elite area.

20|20 Creative Director, Jon Lee said: “Over the years we have been able to create and deliver new thinking on how a football club can best serve its loyal fan base. The trust Arsenal Football Club has installed in 20|20 has allowed us to work with them to develop a unique offer that will completely change the traditional match day experience. This will set a standard that others will follow but it is just the beginning.”

In this International friendly, he plays just behind the strikers. Arsenal must have Rosicky in top form in order to contend in both the EPL and in Europe.

An “exclusive”, coming from the Guardian: “…Cesc Fábregas is staying at Arsenal. Barcelona’s protracted and often tortuous summer-long campaign to lure the Spain midfielder back to Camp Nou is over. Arsenal’s captain held talks with Arsène Wenger, the manager, earlier today and the upshot is that he has been persuaded to remain at the club.”
