Ahhhh fuck man I vaguely remember that! Was it a film or was it a TV series though? Fucked if I can remember the name of it.... This is gonna bug me now....Clash wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 12:12 pmI watched the Arsenal Stadium Mystery last night. First time I've seen it in about 30 years and I really enjoyed the Highbury footage at the start and the end of the film. What a club we were in the 1930s. Not just compared to everyone else at the time but compared to everyone else now too. Some fine acting from George Allison and its noticeable how little Highbury changed in the 60 plus years from 1939 to 1992.
On a different note, does anyone here remember a film in the mid 80s where (I think) an Irish lad is taken to Arsenal by his dad and it is filmed on a matchday at the clock end? Nobody else I know remembers seeing this but I am hoping one of the Irish lads on here will back me up and even better remember what it was called so I can find it again.
It must have been post 1984 too because U2's Pride (in the name of love) is playing.

That has bugged me for years because I started to doubt my own memory when nobody else remembered it! I should have posted this on here before.
Just out of interest, can I ask what you typed into Google? Nothing I tried ever worked.

Re: Highbury
I can see why they used Highbury - one of the top grounds which always resisted putting a cage in front of their supporters.
of course these days we would have just followed everyone else and put one up

Re: Highbury
I think it was "movies filmed at Highbury Stadium" but the result was hidden in a list in the Arseblog website. Just took a guess it might be on there and it was. Didn't see it mentioned anywhere else.Clash wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 12:54 pmThank you very very much mate!DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 12:36 pmIt was "Lamb" a 1985 movie with Liam Neeson and filmed on the NB.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 12:33 pmAhhhh fuck man I vaguely remember that!

Re: Highbury
The game is forest from the 84/85 season
Allinson is equalising about 10 mins from the end
I was in the clockend
Had no idea about the filming though
It was fa cup semi final day in the times when match of the day and the big match devoted the whole programme to them so there was no coverage of this game
Beeb had Everton v Luton itv had Man Utd v liverpool
Highlights only though
Hard for young uns to believe the fa cup semis were not shown live yet
In fact at this stage the camera's had never been to Highbury for a live game
The first was a 0-0 draw in January 87 v Coventry
