Arsenal hope to find a voice at Wembley FA Cup semi-final against Wigan

 
Loud and proud: A Gunners fan sings at Emirates Stadium
Standard Sport20 March 2014

It's nine years since Arsenal won a trophy so it’s no surprise the Gunners are trying to gain any advantage possible for the FA Cup semi-final against Wigan.

But an idea the club have come up with for the match on April 12 is aimed at the fans and not the players.

For today, they announced they have set aside two blocks of the stadium to create a singing area where “like-minded fans” can congregate and the club hope that this will spur the team onto victory.

The scheme is in conjunction with fans’ group RedAction and Arsenal head of supporters’ liaison Sue Campbell said: “Everyone is looking forward to the game at Wembley and we want to back the team with a great atmosphere.

“Creating a designated area for fans to come together and sing their hearts out like we do at Emirates Stadium is an important part of this.”

While these supporters will be in full voice they will be hoping the players do not hit a bum note at Wembley.
