A YOUNG Arsenal fan from Bexley has become one of the first people in the club’s history, to camp out on the hallowed turf of the Emirates Stadium.

Billy Roach, 11, from Sidcup, was one of 200 members of the club’s Junior Gunners aged between seven and 12 who were able to play on the pitch under the supervision of club coaches.

The youngsters then enjoyed a post-match meal in the club’s swanky hospitality area and watched a film before bedding down for the night in tents on the pitch.

The club described the event as “a special and unique experience”.
