Arsenal Fans Told Gathering at Stadium on Saturday Puts Parade at Risk
The procession will feature the men’s and women’s teams together, with police deploying more than 500 officers for crowds expected to top 500,000.
Arsenal will parade four buses through north London on Sunday, featuring the men's team, women's team, staff, and community supporters celebrating multiple titles.
The club's Premier League title triumph, secured on May 24 against Crystal Palace, prompted the celebration; Islington North MP Corbyn urged attendees to 'treat each other with respect.'
Supporters are encouraged not to congregate near the Emirates Stadium to avoid delaying safety checks, as the parade route begins and ends on the Holloway Road.
Commander Stuart Bell, leading the Met Police's public order operation, stated more than 500 officers will be deployed to manage crowds, noting officers will respond to incidents where necessary.
Former Arsenal player Johan Djourou called the joint parade a 'big statement,' as the club simultaneously fetes the men's Premier League victory and the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup.
