Three fans groups are behind a planned mass demonstration after growing unrest at recent home days. Placards are to be shown in the 12th minute and again 12 minutes from time to reflect the dozen years that have passed since the Gunners last won the title.
That period has coincided with a massive investment in building the new stadium, when money at the club was tight as bank loans were repaid.

But Wenger now has more than £100m in his transfer kitty and although he refused to elaborate on his character, the Arsenal manager is adamant that majority shareholder Stan Kroenke certainly did not lack ambition.
“He's never stopped me in the market,” he said. “He's very ambitious. We are all very ambitious.
“But I don't want to go into personal comment on my owners. We can work in complete freedom. Every club should work with the resources it generates. That's what we do. We are very proud to do that.”
