We suspect that, to date, groups opposed to AFC expansion/relocation and those that just want shot of us completely so as to improve their property values, may have been more active in getting like-minded people to respond. So please do use this opportunity to have your opinions recorded (whatever they are!). See this item and others in this topic for ArseWeb's coverage of the story including map. Seems to us that Ashburton Grove would disrupt relatively few residents, and keeping Arsenal in the Highbury area would be a great result.

See also this Islington Express page which discusses the results, with comments from interested parties including the club (and there's more on this page).

It includes scaremongering quotes from daft people opposed to Arsenal's expansion. "This area could not cope with an extra 22,000 fans" says one, conveniently forgetting that the area used to cope fine before the Taylor report and that those people would only be at the ground occasionally, and ignoring the positive things that development would bring to the area. And there's a quote from one Nick Robinson suggesting that residents in favour of Arsenal's expansion don't realise what it means. Nick is the chairman of BRAG, an Anti Ashburton Grove residents group. Someone please correct us if we're wrong, but isn't this the same Nick Robinson who is a Radio 5 presenter and dedicated Manchester United fan? Nimbyism is one (bad) thing, but could there be other motives operating here....?

Also worth a look is the paper's letters page, featuring many (self-)interested parties, including Mr Robinson, and another who appears to have swallowed the Dome story.
