A vast number of empty seats are expected for the Europa League clash

However, many fans will struggle to attend the game due to the awkward kick-off time.AST has subsequently written to UEFA to complain, describing the situation as ‘unacceptable’ and criticising the governing body’s treatment of fans.The letter read: “This is a totally unacceptable and inconvenient kick-off time for a vast number of Arsenal fans who have to trael to the game after work from across London, the South East and further afield. “The result will be a huge number of empty seats. This is both unfair on Arsenal supporters and will lead to a poor atmosphere in the stadium.It adds: “Increasingly we are seeing TV companies dictate the kick-off time and the actual match-going fan becoming more and more of a secondary consideration.“But this forthcoming Europa League match takes things to an unprecedented new level.”2
