Arsenal Women have issued a statement in response to a large number of supporters stranded outside the Emirates Stadium at the start of the Gunner’s WSL clash against title rivals Chelsea due to overwhelmed turnstiles.
Nearly 47,000 tickets were sold for Sunday’s London derby, marking the third time this season more than 40,000 supporters had come to watch the women’s team in the WSL.
But the occasion risked being overshadowed as just before kick-off, swathes of fans were still queuing for entry into their respective turnstiles at the Emirates Stadium, with many missing the beginning of the match.
