Another issue is that the transport around the Emirates is already pretty much at capacity.

Holloway Road and Drayton Park already have to be closed on matchdays, meaning the ones left open (Arsenal, Finsbury Park, Caledonian Road, Highbury and Islington) are completely flooded. Adding tens of thousands more people to that is a recipe for disaster.

The club would therefore have to pay the costs of not only the the expansion itself, but also for the upgrading of the tube/rail stations around it which would be gargantuan.
