New digital ticketing system failure at the turnstiles causes delay
The delay has been caused by the new digital ticketing system going down at the turnstiles. Images show loads of supporters standing outside the ground as they wait to be let in. Reports have even claimed that there are up to 35,000 fans still waiting to get into the ground. A viral tweet showing the fans outside the stadium with the queues said to be "huge" has added to the frustration.
Fans express their frustration on social media
Fans took to social media to express their frustration with the delay. One fan tweeted, "People having trouble with the digital pass," while another commented, "Fix the turnstiles." A third fan wrote, "USELESS," and a fourth said, "Sort them out!!" The delay has prompted many fans to criticize the club's handling of the situation and call for improvements in the future.
Arsenal players forced to wear wrong kit after manufacturing error
In addition to the delay, the Arsenal players will also have to wear the wrong kit due to a major manufacturing error. Adidas, Arsenal's kit supplier, has allegedly stopped selling the team's new home kit after fans spotted a blunder in its design. As a result, the players will be forced to wear a kit that is no longer being sold by the manufacturer.
