The Arsenal Fans’ Forum took place yesterday with both Josh Kroenke and Vinai Venkatesham in attendance. This is the first time that the Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke's son has attended this year after missing the earlier Forum which took place in the wake of the LA Rams Superbowl victory. Although, Josh was present at the first Fan Advisory Board meeting in 2022.
During the Arsenal Fans’ Forum, there were a number of topics discussed from the Amazon: All or Nothing series, stadium refurbishment, transfers and ticketing. It is the latter which caught the attention of supporters with a new policy set to be introduced.
According to those attending the event and publishing the content of the meeting on social media such as the Red Action Gooners , Arsenal plan to implement a system to deter season ticket holders from failing to attend. Arsenal matches, despite showing near full capacity matches, often suffer hundreds, even thousands, of empty seats on matchday.
