The 900 fans will be from Arsenal’s membership scheme and will be available to purchase from tomorrow Friday December 4 with an email going out to members on Thursday with details on how to make sure they are lucky enough to be at the game.
Meadow Park has a 4,000 capacity but due to social distancing measures it has been cut down for 900 supporters.
