£21m for the site. Same to build a stadium? Enjoy the huge ticket price hikes and if anyone thinks they will go down due to PL money or 40,000 fans coming from god knows where then they should stop drinking so much. |  |

I think a football ground (i.e. pitch and stands) needs about 4 acres. Then you have all the access roads, parking etc which probably take up more room than the ground itself so 12 acres I think will be plentiful. Lots of room for multiple Nando's!

I think our geography teacher always said it is about the same as a football pitch, and then I found this:

My wife's from the Tudor Estate in West Acton, the residents will go mental. Shame! |
I lived in Highbury Hill at the time of the planning application and enquiries over the building of the Emirates. And sure enough a few residents of the streets around Ashburton Grove and beyond went mental.
Then those who didn't want to stay sold up and gleefully back-binned the soaring profit on the back of the development.
Although I wouldn't be sure that us moving in would have the same influence on property values | | | |

Why would the residents go mental.... Highbury and the Emirates are practically next door to each other. |  | | |

Believe me they did.
From Wiki:
The move to Ashburton Grove was at first met with opposition by members of the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association, who were concerned about environmental issues.[18] The Islington Stadium Communities Alliance — an alliance of 16 groups representing local residents and businesses was set up in January 2000 to promote awareness against the redevelopment.[21] Alison Carmichael, a spokeswoman for the group said of the move: "It may look like Arsenal are doing great things for the area, but in its detail the plan is awful. We blame the council; the football club just wants to expand to make more money."[22] Seven months after the planning application was submitted in June 2001, a poll showed that 75% of respondents were against the scheme, with 2,133 residents objecting and 712 in support.[22] By October 2001, the club asserted that a poll of Islington residents found that 70% were in favour.[23]
Nick Robinson was initially one of the most vocal local well-known antis. I once heard from a friend of his that he allegedly told her that he felt 'a bit guilty' at the profit he made when he sold up after the fuss he had made. [Post edited 30 Nov 2013 15:55]
