Yep a couple of times.

Expect it to be quiet and only being able to hear white noise out of the speakers and not the crowd much. As its a mid week game there could be lots of gaps (last midweek game I had in a box about half the boxes near me were unused). Check the dress code before you go as it varies a little but should be no trainers etc.

On the plus side its easy to get in and out, your beer gets delivered although you have to drink it in the box and you can order one to be there for half time. You can stay for drinks after the game as well to avoid the rush. The view is good as well and its well sheltered from the weather.

All in all enjoy it, but expect a more relaxed time than in the stands.

Which one? Quick tip for you, although it may vary from box to box and different areas but I used to go to one of the boxes but they didn’t serve alcoholic drinks, outside was a communal room that served as an entrance to about 5 or so boxes that had a bar at each end, it took us a fair few matches before we realised that the bar down stairs which I think is a corporate seating (but not box) had a free bar. More just a loads of drinks out on a table but better than paying.

It is an executive box apparently,

I have sat in club level before where there are bars and beers layed out on the tables, for the whole of that level.

I got the feeling we are going to be a little tucked away from the action but looking forward it regardless.

I don't get the chance to get down the Emirates much due to working most Saturdays so will be making the most of it.

Yer iv been. Its nice to go for the experience, but for a regular thing I would rather be in the crowd. You get some nice food and as much drink as you please. And its box has its own waiter/waitress. However its all quite formal with most people there more interested in their lady friend that they are trying to impress. Lots of corporates. I got lots of funny looks when I joined in with the singing or jumped up cheering when we scored.

What can I expect?

A 2-1 win for Arsenal.

Try and smuggle some booze in, if you can. Also, make sure you eat something hot before you go to your box.

Have a great time!

Are y sue youre not nicking drinks people have bought for halftime. I live in Brighton and get ot go to the hospitality area a few times a season. Here you buy drinks for half time and they leave them out on the tables for you to collect when you come in at half time.

So Droog, you might be a fecking thief.
