Arsenal fans hijack Premier League Team of the Season poll with 5 players named
Arsenal supporters’ online dominance has seen 5 players included in the Premier League Team of the Season.
More than 12,000 votes were cast for a manager and an XI that has impressed over the course of the campaign.
Laurent Koscielny beat the likes of Gary Cahill and Vincent Kompany to the centre-back position, while Olivier Giroud somehow snuck into the team ahead of Daniel Sturridge and Sergio Aguero – both of whom ended the season with more goals than the Frenchman.
FA Cup final goalscorer Aaron Ramsey took his place in midfield alongside the Gunners’ record signing Mesut Özil who was surprisingly picked instead of Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and impressive Manchester City powerhouse Yaya Toure.
According to recent reports, Arsenal have over 113 million supporters worldwide and currently have around 40,000 on the season ticket waiting list.
40,000 on the season ticket waiting list? And over 113 million fan base world wide? This is awesome Arsenal. What is Arsenal Holdings Plc doing or going to do, will do, to meet the demands of those forty thousand Gooners on the season ticket awaiting list? I think the answer to this question is, expand the sitting capacity of the Emirates stadium to 75,000 seats as soon as they can. And still, there is going to be over 25,000 fans on the awaiting season ticket list. But at least something would have been done. Amassing Arsenal can surpasse or equal Man utd in terms of size and revenue, if only they would re-invest money to upgrading the Emirates sitting capacity. This is the message the Gooners have sent to the Arsenal hierarchy.
Sweet!!
