It would be great if someone could tap up a code to show the dimmensions of the pitch graphically vs. the dimensions of the "standard" pitch size for all new FIFA-sanctioned stadia. I really feel this would add a great deal to this article as the pitch size has so much to do with the character of the venue and its fame. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.230.121.224 ( talk • contribs) 04:33, December 8, 2005.
To call Highbury the Home of Football seems overtly bias no?
With Wembley Stadium but a few miles away and recognised globally as being nicknamed 'The Home of Football', to include that Arsenal FC and the supporters of the club refer to this stadium in the same way is misleading to readers of this article. A nickname usually tends to be given rather than self-proclaimed and in this instance it simply isn't used by people who are not connected to Arsenal FC or are not supporters of the club. It's use should be removed on the grounds that it shows an obvious bias and lacks accuracy and indeed truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.215.224 ( talk) 11:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
i've noticed watching some arsenal games at highbury that they have a lower camera angle than most stadiums
it makes the game seem faster and more exciting, especially when paired with the small pitch and the style arsenal usually plays
IYOs will this be replicated in the new arsenal stadium or will they use the standard that every other stadium uses

No mention of the Highbury Horse or the Highbury Squirell Lazmac 17:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC) and the marble halls? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.10.5 ( talk) 13:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Anonymous Comments : Are you guys joking or something....you can go ask any true football fan who enjoys Arsenal's style of play that football is meant to be watch with a camera angle just like that of the Nou Camp....the camera angle is the only reason I don't like Highbury games. In the farther end I always wonder what time the ball is going to roll out because I can't tell where the touchline is. Another thing is after Arsenal lose the ball I can never tell if someone from the opposing team is going to pick it up or an Arsenal man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.11.204.229 ( talk • contribs) 22:44, May 10, 2006.
The footnote to the complete record still says that the website was last edited before the last game played which is no longer true. i don't know how to edit the references section. rmoving that sentence is all that needs doing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexmandel ( talk • contribs) 01:03, July 10, 2006.

After these minor fixes are done, the GA status will be given. Lincher 01:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Nice work on the article, I think the article is broad enough though expansion in all would bring the article to a greater standard. You should send the article to PR and see what they can help you with in order to better the article. Cheers, Lincher 11:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this ground be heritage listed? Seems sad to lose almost 100 years of history by turning it into a housing area. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rogerthat ( talk • contribs) 10:30, November 3, 2006 (UTC).
Why no mention of the political mess of the redevelopment in which the developers were allowed by Islington Council to avoid including any affordable housing at the Highbury site? Amedeo Felix 15:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
The stipulation is implicit where the affordable housing should be in a development - in the development itself and not elsewhere. I'll try to dig up the Mayor of London and Depertment of Communities guidlines if I can...
Allowing them to place the affordable housing elsewhere circumvents the whole point of requiring a percentage of affordable housing - the point being to achieve a mixed community. It is a fact that no affordable housing is on the Highbury site - of I come accross a reference I'll be back on this matter. Oh, the council acted similar with a notoriously hated development in Islington, by Islington Green, called N1rvana [2]... Amedeo Felix 16:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
That's more than I had been led to believe they would be doing, but I have to point out the complete lack of figures for affordable housing at Highbury. It is 40% overall, but that is counting EVERY development they are engaged in, which I think makes itr obvious there is very very little at Highbury. Highbury is clearly a decidedly "luxery" development... Amedeo Felix 14:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Well I said you are missing the point before and tried to say why. One of the main points of the affordable housing stipulation (this 40% figure from Central Government and the GLA) is to ensure that there is a mix in the community of social/income strata – i.e. to avoid an area being “gentrified”. The ones at fault are not necessarily Arsenal FC, or whatever developer is doing the project in their name, but Islington Council. It is understandable that a development like Highbury would be done with as many luxury flats as possible to maximize the profits – you can’t blame a developer for wanting to do that (although I am entitled to dislike it and the outcome of the greed that leads to a situation where the vast majority of the housing will be for the well off). We can and should be critical of a planning system that allows a developer to run so contrary to the spirit of the affordable housing requirements… Amedeo Felix 16:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Balance? I thought an encyclopedia is a repository of knowledge not political balance, as in don't include this or that bit of information if it is political, or may be seen as political, in nature unless it is opposed by a somehow opposite bit of political information. It is fact that Highbury is largely a luxury development - since that is a fact why not include that information? I don't see that as singling out Arsenal - it just is what is. By the way - why isn't there an a "balanced" page on what Wikipedia IS??? It's an idea - if there's a page on what it is not then there should be one on what it most assuredly IS... Amedeo Felix 17:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Two things: It was a controversy - a controversy being it was a point of contention locally - people voiced opposition - it got reported. That's controversy by any definition I've ever heard. Secondly, rules and laws do always have a "spirit" as well as a "letter", and the "spirit" of such can and often is applied in legal terms - e.g. in court. I'll happily come back as and when I have found a source to show the "controversy" around the Highbury plan - in other words let that bit drop for now. In the mean time I still think it would be right factually to word the entry to reflect the fact that it is a predominantly luxury development. Amedeo Felix 21:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Incorrect facts: "The Clock End meanwhile had been redeveloped, with a roof, seating and executive boxes fitted in 1989." The Clock end had the roof and executive boxes fitted in the late 80s, but the seating was only added to the terrace after the north bank opened (in about 93/94 if i remember rightly?) 136.8.152.13 09:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
