I went to many games at Highbury (officially Arsenal Stadium, though it was never called that in colloquial conversation) back in the seventies and eighties and nineties. In the late 70s and very early 80s (Terry Neil and Don Howe era of O'Leary, Brady, Rix, Stapleton, Rice, Willie Young, Sunderland), attendances for Saturday games would hover between 55,000 and 59,000. The atmosphere was amazing but even more electric were the Wednesday nights of European football. There were no floodlight pylons - the lights were positioned at the top of the East and West stands.
According to the legend you can still hear the screams of the Highbury Screamer there even today.
Aaaaasggghhhhhhhh!!!!!
I think this is amazing and its a wonderful way to preserve it. Cant believe the moaning on here - you prefer that they flattened it??
Its pretty amazing the pitch is is sort of still there and with the old stands are there flats etc inside of them
hate the garden. hate the boring interiors of the apartment. the only thing great is the old facade that they kept
Yeah, not even an Arsenal flag in that shit apartment. And the garden? Keep the pitch unless
@@oscarpavezborbaran8954 its a redevelopment
@@oscarpavezborbaran8954 this is city planning. See real estate in cities
As simple as supply & demand. They wanted housing. How do you make housing more attractive? Well in general, greenery and sunlight helps. Hence the glass facades and the park in the middle. So yeah, its redevelopped, but i think they kept the spirit imo :) i quite like it but thats just my opinion aha. Although those glass walls inside the garden are hidious and should be removed
loved this video man. so many memories and it's just too sad to think this mas Highbury :(
thx for the informative video
Good video pal. 👍
Problem is... its a nice development. But hardly if at all refers to the fact it was once a great football stadium. Its 4 apartment blocks with a strange, but nice, modern garden. The only thing left is the 2 facades and the nice old marble halls.
There is more historical reference at Highbury than at Upton Park
its better than most clubs in europe and redevelopment
Did Any arsenal footballers lived here?
I don’t think that’s true. When you’re inside it there’s a very strong stadium-like impression. And the front facade is very dominant.
I hear the atmospheres got better.
I always thought not keeping the stadium as some kind of historical heritage was basically a crime against humanity. Also Arsenal's downfall pretty much began right around 2007 when they moved to Emirates stadium which is an average looking stadium at best.
Arsenal died the second we left Highbury. Can’t stand the new stadium. Or the name. Football in general is long gone. The redevelopment of Highbury for me goes hand in had with the death throws of English football.
Hated Arsenal back in our rival days being a United fan. But Highbury is a GOLDEN LANDMARK. All the memories, history, tradition and culture are there. Emirates Stadium feels very sponsored due to "Emirates". Football is ruined. Cringe names like West Ham, Spurs, Man City, Stoke City stadiums where it is named based on a brand and just the club's name. Why can't they expand Highbury and keep its identity?
agree!!
wembley demolition started it
Hmm, ok old Hbury was way too small.
The new one is too clinical and lacks standing. Lacks the historic feel.
Maybe the Anfield route ie slow, laborious but big expansions was the way?
I hate how football has become a propaganda exercise for homosexuals, trxxxies and immigrants. Its a working man's game, hijacked by propagandists Neoliberal weirdos.
And the players, clubs and governing bodies largely have contempt for the fans.
@@mackovo6 They literally said that they couldn't expand highbury because it is in a heavy residential area surrounded by houses. What do you expect them to do knock down the houses?
You'd never know it was Highbury unless you were told, what a shame
What a shame, and what a kick in the teeth
Me gustaba ese estadio lo encontraba con mística
Also I was born in Glasgow and to be honest Celtic are the real deal, fans, stadium, history and basically the place to go for a 1nc in a lifetime experience, especially if you are lucky enough to watch them playing sevco, formally known as rangers, and although a poor fan base they try harder when they are being beaten by Celtic, the ground is similar to luton towns, investat and you will see what I mean
Tragic really, isn't it?
Did Any arsenal footballer lived there?
Rip Highsbury
is this public access?
Hard to watch to be honest
It wasn't placed on an auction. Arsenal themselves developed and sold the project
Arsenal are still the ultimate freeholders, I think. The flats are on long leases.
Do the residents of the east stand get to walk through the marble hall & past the bust or is that all out of bounds ?
Yes, that one way I can get to my flat.
@@timothyauger9905price for a flat?
@@RagedContinuum Very variable, depending on size and whether pitch-facing or not.
Arsenal played Liverpool in the little woods cup at Highbury in the late 80s, 0_zero after full time and extra time but after the game I sneaked onto the pitch and took some of the Highbury turf now part of my back garden, football is not the same and nor are the stadiums the players get paid too much and most of them are foreign I have lost interest and the love for football but I am pleased to see some of Highbury remains have you seen what's happened to West ham's ground another team with great traditions but who let their ground go to rack and ruin, if you want real football go to the Scottish premier League, all team still have homegrown players who don't get paid too much,
Soulesse.just like modern day life.😢
Not being funny. But I'd rather have a Highbury stadium flat tour, than an Emirates tour. I'm not lining the crook Kroenke's wallet.
We need a better investor and a better manager. Once that happens, then they'll see my money.
As a LFC fan i think its sacrilege.should of stayed there or put a shopping centre there!!!!
I don't think what we need in London is another shopping centre!
I wonder how much does it cost to buy a 2 bedrooms apartment now? 🤔
No idea how i got here looking at this! Just had a look and zoopla has renting there for about £2,500 per month. Thats 5 time more than my mortgage for a bigger house lol London prices are crazy!
Interesting that you call this “amazing” architecture - from my point of view this development ist below average in term of architecture, actually I consider it a scandal how they treated that listed stadium- it is a scandal that they did not keep highbury as it used to be
Apartment is terrible
this is insane.... leaving all romanticism aside, this makes no sense... how they keep doing these developers do this kinda shit?
WOW but i must say the roof needs rails to protect children who drift upwards
Development is not the right name.. Highbury stadium is gone forever..
This housing development helped Arsenal Football Club finish their debt too
