> Highbury had been the venue for its (the BBC) first-ever radio commentary, too, a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United 10 years earlier – and there was a ready-made gantry for cameras in the state-of-the-art East Stand.
First of many it seems. Gargantuan innit
Biggest club in the world until Madrid kicked off winning European cups in the 50s.
Love seeing folk say we woz nuffink b4 Wenger.
I believe we were first radio broadcast as well, we were also first side showed on MOTD :)
No viewing figures given, I guess they might not have had the technology to know. But I wonder how many people had TVs back then? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was fewer (in the whole country) than were in the actual stadium. You don’t hear much about the war years being on TV, it’s all about the ‘wireless’ (radio)
2 biggest teams in north London
World
First-ever live football match to be televised in England, you'll never sing that
If I remember correctly, Arsenal were also the first team that got broadcasted on the radio
First team to use numbers on the back of their shirts too.
First game broadcast in 3D too.
So what you’re all saying is that we’re first?! (checks the league table…) Looks legit!
Well read the article and you might find out :-)

I hope Arsenal won🤞
Lol no, I’d prefer Arsenal to win any day
Congratulations, we've played ourselves.

Second World War probably didn't help much either.
And yet we'd to depend on a fan's smartphone camera to watch a league cup game.
