There was no shortage of Arsenal fans either. Everyone rolls out the red carpet when Arsenal are in town. For the past three years, their fanbase has grown exponentially, not just through the huge attendances at the Emirates but also with a dedicated away support. The attendance at the Chigwell Construction Stadium on Friday was 3,483, West Ham’s second highest ever at the ground. First and third place are from games against Arsenal, too. If a club want to make money from ticket sales, this is the fixture to do it.
