Would be fine if we got a game at the Emirates but we won't no doubt.

Don’t the U21 teams always play away in the group stage?

Yeah, and what fun playing in an empty Emirates anyway? An empty WR will be bad enough.

I'd happily go and watch if it was at the Emirates for the chance to see us play there.

I'd need to be paid to go and watch any game before the QF's in this competition with its current format, especially away from home, no matter where it was.

The Arsenal youth team game is at home. Details here: https://www.ctfc.com/news/2018/july/che ... w-invited/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For all the bad PR for the competition, I suspect this Arsenal side will the most technically good we face all season. If we paint CTFC in a good light on and off the pitch, with Arsenal having a new manager, it could be an opportunity to forge a new relationship for loan players and trialists etc.

I agree with Regency. I hope we get a good crowd and that the Colin Farmer Stand ( or part) is open. The club can afford to do this.
