 AGM: Highbury safe for 4 years only by Rupe
on 3/9/99 at 18:08
this is story 17 of 75 in this topic to date
At the Arsenal FC AGM yesterday, chairman Peter Hill-Wood has told shareholders that although they are looking into building a new stadium, moving from Highbury will take a minimum of 4 years (as we reported here 2 weeks ago, the Kings X site may well not be available for even longer).

However, there does appear to have been a change since last year when moving was considered a likely but not a preferred option. Now it seems that the board is pretty much committed to leaving Highbury. Kings X is the preferred new site, but as Yoda said, "there is another..."

Of course the question remains, "where are we going to play our home matches in Europe when Wembley gets bulldozed?" White Hart Lane? The thought makes me shudder but at least there's less chance that they'll be using their stadium on European nights than Chelsea will...

AFCi have this page on the AGM, but it doesn't say much beyond the fact that it took place.
