Arsenal Football Club has thanked fans who proved their loyalty by turning up in huge numbers to support the team on Tuesday night for the Carling Cup Third Round match against Shrewsbury Town.
The 46,539 tickets sold against League Two side Shrewsbury Town was the biggest in the Carling Cup Third Round and the second highest of all the 26 matches played in the Premier League and Carling Cup since the weekend.
An Arsenal spokesman said: “We would like to thank our fans for their fantastic support. The Carling Cup competition is not part of the Arsenal season ticket package and we also have a run of three home matches in the space of eight days, so this was a magnificent show of support. It was also great to see so many Shrewsbury fans at the game. They helped create a terrific atmosphere”
