EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the empty grandeur of Emirates Stadium during the Arsenal vs Manchester City match in the 2020-21 Premier League season. The usually vibrant atmosphere of this iconic football ground is replaced by an eerie silence, as the pandemic-enforced restrictions keep fans away. Government social distancing laws have made it impossible for supporters to attend games in person, resulting in a surreal scene of deserted stadiums. The empty seats, usually filled with passionate Arsenal fans, stretch out towards the pitch, creating a stark contrast to the lively energy that typically fills the air during a match. The absence of the roaring crowd, chants, and excitement is palpable, leaving only the sound of the players' footsteps and the ball being passed around on the pristine grass. The empty stands, bathed in soft lighting, create an almost surreal atmosphere, making it difficult to believe that this is the same stadium where countless memorable moments have unfolded over the years. The empty seats, devoid of color and life, serve as a poignant reminder of the challenges posed by the pandemic and the resilience of the football community in adapting to these unprecedented times. David Price's photograph masterfully encapsulates the desolation of a stadium devoid of its most essential element - the fans. The image is a testament to the power of football to bring people together, even in the most challenging of circumstances, and a reminder of the anticipation and excitement that awaits as we look forward to the return of fans to the stands.
