The 13-time English top-flight champions might find it difficult to deliver to their fans their first Premier League title in more than two decades. Instead, they are offering their single supporters the chance to meet the love of their life at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal might find it tough to deliver to their fans their first Premier League title since 2004, with Mikel Arteta’s men currently trailing leaders Liverpool by a massive 12 points before the international break. What they can do for their supporters though, is help them find the love of their life at the Emirates Stadium, their home ground in London, with the ‘Gunners’ having announcing the launch of their own dating show recently.
According to The Telegraph, the 13-time English top-flight champions are offering single fans the chance to meet their “perfect match” as part of a documentary series, hoping to highlight that passion for football could “prove a catalyst for an even deeper romance”.
The plan is for two fans to meet on a blind date at a local venue before attending an Arsenal game together. Applicants for the dating show have been asked to list their preferences for a partner including preferred age, height, etc. and will also explain what made them “fall in love with Arsenal”. Applicants also need to be British citizens above 18 years of age.
