Arsenal claim that their new stadium will be the most profitable in the world.

 

The Gunners will leave Highbury at the end of this season and start the next Premiership campaign in the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium.

 

Arsenal's managing director Keith Edelman says that the North London giants will surpass Old Trafford, even though Manchester United's base has 68,000 seats.

 

"We will earn significantly more in revenue. Our gate income will probably be the highest in the world," said managing director Keith Edelman.

 

"We will have 60,000 fans and higher-priced tickets - and more premium tickets than any other club in the UK."

 

Edelman has always insisted that transfer money and revenue to build the new ground were separate entireties and he says that is still the case.

 

"We have kept the finances of the stadium and the team separate. We have ample funds for transfer activities and to fund the new stadium.

 

"The stadium will not impact on our football team development.

 

"We recognise that people are not coming to look at a great stadium, but to look at the team and the team development is paramount.

 

"We will be much better off financially than we were at Highbury, once we move to the new stadium.

 

"The new stadium is a positive contribution. Immediately we move to the new stadium, we will be earning more money than we would at Highbury - with all the debt."

 

their prices are already a rip off...
